Dell VxRail™ Appliance 4.7x Administration Guide

Configure VxRail satellite nodes

Using VxRail Manager, you can configure certain parameters that apply to the hosts in your VxRail cluster.

VxRail uses satellite nodes to provide simplicity, agility, and automation. Satellite nodes are used to address more edge use cases with single node deployments. Using satellite nodes, you can extend the VxRail operational model and efficiencies to edge sites while automating day-to-day operations, health monitoring, and life cycle management. This service is provided from a centralized location without the need for local technical or specialized resources.

From the VMware vSphere Web Client, you can do the following:

• Configure iDRAC.
• Add, edit, or remove a host folder.
• Add a node to a folder.
• Upgrade the satellite nodes in a folder.
• Remove a host device.

Go to VxRail Manager for configuration steps that use the VMware vSphere Web Client. For more information about using the VMware vSphere Web Client, see VMware Docs.
