Hi,

While I have never done this personally, this is fully supported for the PowerEdge based models. The procedure is simple and straightforward. What are your concerns ?

Regards,

have not added RAM after purchase. easy to do! questions, concerns?

Hi folks, thanks.

I was more interested in whether or not Dell/EMC expects customers to purchase RAM from Dell/EMC for VxRail nodes.

I have a 3 node cluster. Can I do one node at a time when adding Memory? Or do I need to power down all three and do all of them then power back up all 3 nodes?

Hi,

For the VXrail with Quanta chases-  ND 20C2.2GHZ 2XE5-2630V4 256GB SFP AF -  the memory is upgradable?  Existing memory is 256GB, need to upgrade to 512GB. Does EMC do the replacement since it's Quanta?

I am doing the exact same thing this weekend. Did you need to power them all down, or did one at a time work?

Please update this thread. I can't find any procedures for adding additional memory to our VxRail cluster. I would hope that the procedure would be to upgrade one node at a time.

Yes, I have. The quote to purchase RAM directly from Dell was too expensive. I purchased Dell certified RAM from a 3rd party vendor and installed it with no issues, about four months ago. No one has questioned it. I saved about 40%.
