Requirements

The management cluster has specific requirements and LCM considerations for satellite nodes.

Management cluster requirements

The management cluster must be a:

  • VxRail cluster with VMware vSAN that has three or more nodes
  • VxRail 2-node cluster with VMware vSAN
  • VxRail dynamic node cluster
  • VxRail stretched cluster with VMware vSAN running VxRail 7.0.400 or later

LCM considerations

Satellite node LCM is supported with VxRail 7.0.300 or later. To upgrade satellite nodes, consider the following:

  • The membership of a VxRail-managed satellite nodes folder in the same VMware vSphere data center provides satellite node LCM.
  • Satellite nodes must be within the same major version (or N-1) of the management cluster while doing a satellite node LCM for the cluster.
