With an external vcenter, what is the best pratices about ESXi updates ? Is VxRail-Manager that will be update ESXi or can we use Vmware Update Manager ?
When using an external vCenter always be aware that you check that the external vCenter version is compatible with the new VxRail ESXi updates. That's not different from the normal vSphere update procedure.

To Clarify,
VxRail Manager will upgrade/update all internal VxRail components. We will not touch external vCenter or PSC when upgrading the VxRail.
Internal components when VxRail is configured with External VC/PSC are:
- VxRail Manager
- ESXi
- VxRail VIB on ESX hosts
Hope this helps...
