Skip this section if do not plan to include VxRail satellite nodes.
VxRail satellite nodes support workload requirements at remote or edge locations. The server hardware and components for VxRail satellite nodes is the same product family as used for VxRail nodes to build clusters. The difference is that the software installed at the factory into satellite nodes is not the same image as the software installed on nodes used for cluster formation. Satellite nodes can only be deployed as single instances and cannot be used to form VxRail clusters.
The planning and preparation steps for VxRail satellite nodes differentiate from VxRail clusters in several areas:
VxRail satellite nodes are dependent on an operational VxRail cluster for management and monitoring purposes. A VxRail satellite node that is not under the management of a VxRail Manager instance can be viewed as a stranded VMware ESXi instance.
VMware vSAN networks are not supported on VxRail satellite nodes. VxRail satellite nodes depend on local disk drives and a local PERC controller for primary storage resources for virtual machines.
VMware vSphere vMotion networks for VM mobility purposes are not supported on VxRail satellite nodes.
VxRail Manager cannot discover VxRail satellite nodes using the internal management network. Assign a management IP address to a VxRail satellite node for it to be discovered by VxRail Manager.
