VxRail Software

This document highlights minimum, recommended, and latest code versions for Dell Technologies Enterprise and Data Center Infrastructure products. Dell carefully evaluates and monitors code deployment data to ensure that product releases meet our stringent expectations to provide our customers with reliable products and solutions.

Step-by-step guidance to replace with customer certificates for Dell VxRail environments. vSphere provides security by using certificates to encrypt communications, authenticate services, and sign tokens. (Customer Correctable)

VxRM cluster upgrade pre-check to make sure cluster not having self-signed certificate when vLCM enabled.

Event code: VXR508PWR8562 This event code indicates "Unable to power on the server <server number> before power on timer expired."

Event code: VXR508PWR8595 This event code indicates "Chassis Management Controller is unable to turn on server <slot id> due to insufficient power for the <chassis component name>."

Event code: VXR508RDU0023 This event code indicates "Unable to determine the redundancy status of the fans."

Event code: VXR508PWR8511 This event code indicates "Unable to set the CHASSIS_POWER_button_disable chassis power property."

Event code: VXR508PWR8566 This event code indicates "Unable to turn off the Server <server number> before the Power Off timer expired."

Event Code: VXR508PWR8670 This event code indicates "Unable to turn on server<slot ID> because the required power <power level> AC Watts exceeds the subsystem Connector Limit <power limit> AC Watts for IO modules, Blowers, and Servers."

Event code: VXR508STOR015 This event code indicates "Maximum virtual disks allowed for this controller has been reached."

Event code: VXR508STOR041 This event code indicates "Invalid value for AttributeName <attribute name>"

Event code: VXR508STOR013 This event code indicates "One or more storage device(s) are not in a state where the operation can be completed."

Event code: VXR508PWR8656 This event code indicates "Chassis Management Controller (CMC) is unable to turn on the component <component name>-<slot number> because of insufficient power."

VxVerify on VxRail Manager checks the IP for each node for port 9090 or 39090.

When enabling the vSphere Lifecycle Manager feature on the cluster, it fails with an error 'Compliance scan task failed'.

For a new node running on VxRail versions from 8.0.320 to 8.0.361, during host first boot, the VxRail manager virtual machine is powered on and configured with Skylake CPU mode. If the cluster Enhanced vMotion Compatibility (EVC) mode is lower than Skylake, then adding the new node to the cluster reports CPU incompatible error.

VXR0140A1 alarm triggers when vSAN (vSAN) cluster storage space exceeds configured thresholds (vSAN 7.0 Update 2 onward). Check and reduce vSAN datastore usage per VMware KB 71003.

Event code: VXR508RDU0003 This event code indicates "Fan redundancy is degraded."

Event code: VXR508TMP0108 This event code indicates "The memory module <number> temperature is greater than the upper warning threshold."

Event code: VXR508PWR1007 This event code indicates "The system performance degraded because power exceeds capacity."

The node upgrade fails when upgrading from ESXi 8.x to ESXi 9.x, if any existing or custom-uploaded drivers are incompatible with ESXi 9.

It is mandatory to upgrade vCenter server first when upgrading from VxRail 8.0.300+ to VxRail 9.1.000 or later, whether it is an internal or external vCenter. After the internal vCenter has been upgraded, the cluster update advisor report may display an alert indicating that the vCenter version is drifted. This alert is expected and can be safely ignored.

How to verify CPU models in the cluster are compatible with VxRail 9.x before upgrade.

Event code: VXR508PDR75 This event code indicates "Copyback stopped for hot spare <physical disk> ."

Failed to upload LCM bundle if the cluster has vLCM enabled and the VxRail Manager TLS certificate is not signed by VMCA.

Error shown in iDRAC virtual console "LIC501: A required license is missing or expired."

Node expansion stuck for hours, no progress, and no errors, due to the workflow encountered unexpected interruption.
