W tym artykule opisano odpowiedź firmy VxRail Engineering na problem z luką w zabezpieczeniach Apache Log4j umożliwiającą zdalne wykonanie kodu znany jako Log4Shell. Jest to opisane w CVE-2021-44228, CVE-2021-45046 i CVE-2021-4104 (artykuł Dell DSN-2021-007, artykuł VMware VMSA-2021-0028)

This checks the Domain name system (DNS) entries in the settings database against the "resolv.conf" file, to ensure the entries match.

Baza danych listy zgodności sprzętowej vSAN (HCL) jest nieaktualna.

Gathering the stats.db files helps with diagnosis of VxRail performance cases and should be uploaded for offline analysis.

Kontrola poprawności działania "vc_pw_char" sprawdza, czy hasło jest zgodne z regułami VMware, jeśli poświadczenia nie mogą zalogować się do vCenter.

Jest to artykuł z bazy wiedzy z serii „Jak to zrobić” opisujący sposób aktualizacji zewnętrznego vCenter przed aktualizacją klastra VxRail Cluster.

During a VxRail LCM upgrade, the VxRail Manager UI may remain stuck in the “Upgrading” state for more than an hour with no visible progress and no new task updates. This occurs when resource issues prevent the VxRail Manager (vmware-marvin) service from fully initializing the LCM workflow, even though the upgrade completes in the background. Restarting the vmware-marvin service on the VxRail Manager VM allows the workflow to resume and the UI to reflect continued progress.

VCF has disconnected account from ESXi node account for root and built-in service account.

This enhancement makes it easier for both connected and non‑connected customers to access and copy important part information—such as part numbers and slot details—directly from event details in the Physical View UI. For connected customers, this information is automatically sent to Dell Support to help expedite issue resolution. Non‑connected customers can copy these details into the Dell Virtual Assistant to streamline issue resolution and support requests.

During Day 1 VxRail installation, enabling vSphere Lifecycle Manager fails because the VxRail Manager cannot prepare certificates. The failure is caused by a blocked SSH connection on TCP port 22 between VxRail Manager and the customer vCenter.

Uaktualnienie VxRail z wersji 7.0.2 do 8.0+ może zakończyć się niepowodzeniem na etapie 2 uaktualniania vCenter ze wstępnym sprawdzeniem "Porty kolektora zrzutu vSphere ESXi".

During an upgrade from versions earlier than 8.0.210 to 8.0.300+, the process hangs at the post‑upgrade health‑check stage because required network ports are blocked, leading to timeouts and failure.

The VxRail plug‑in creates iDRAC users with simple passwords that violate the iDRAC password policy, causing the privilege to appear as "idrac.users.role.UNKNOWN" and preventing login. The issue stems from a mismatch between iDRAC UI validation and API behavior in VxRail 8.0.320.

This article explains how to reset the vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA) root password without rebooting for versions 7.x and 8.x, covering SSH access, shell enablement, account unlock, password change, and verification.
