Dell EMC VxRail Release Notes: More than Marginalia

For each VxRail family there is a Release Notes document, for example:

VxRail Family:

Corresponding vSphere Version

Release Notes Document

VxRail version 4.5

6.5

 

Navigate to the Dell Support site, login, and then search for the term “release”.

VxRail version 4.7

6.7

VxRail version 7.0

7.0

Every time a new version of VxRail is released the corresponding Release Notes are updated and the document’s Revision History is updated. Release Notes cover three major items for each VxRail Release:

  1. What’s New
  2. Fixed Issues
  3. Known Issues and their associated Workarounds

While VxRail Release Notes cover what’s directly impacted by each VxRail Composite Upgrade Package version i.e.: 7.0.000, 7.0.010, 7.0.100, 7.0.101, 7.0.130, 7.0.131, 7.0.132, 7.0.200, 7.0.201, 7.0.202, 7.0.203, 7.0.210, 7.0.240, 7.0.241, 7.0.300 etc., separate but related software items are not covered and may need to be followed separately, some examples:

  1. VCF on VxRail: Click on the link for the release Notes for a given VCF software bundle in SDDC Manager
  2. Ansible Modules for Dell EMC VxRail: https://github.com/dell/ansible-vxrail
  3. VxRail API PowerShell Modules: https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/product-support/product/vxrail-appliance-series/drivers (Search for “PowerShell”)
  4. VxRail API Guide: https://dl.dell.com/content/docu91468_vxrail-appliance-4-5-x-4-7-x-and-7-0-x-api-guide.pdf?language=en_us

To keep up to date with VxRail release collateral sign up for VxRail notifications by updating your Dell EMC Support account settings (Support > Dell EMC Preferences > Account Settings) and selecting Add Notification:

Below is a snippet from the VxRail 7.0.300 What’s New section in the Release Notes:
