Set up external storage for a dynamic node cluster
For a dynamic node cluster, you must use external storage along with the VxRail onboard storage resources.
See the appropriate Support Matrix on the Dell Technologies Support Site for the supported storage of dynamic clusters.
VxRail supports the following:
- NFS
- VMFS over iSCSI/FC/FC-NVMe/TCP-NVMe
- vVol over NFS/iSCSI/FC
- PowerFlex
- VMware vSAN HCI-Mesh
You can use the following external storage arrays to provide primary storage for your VxRail cluster:
- Dell Unity
- PowerStore
- PowerMax
- PowerFlex
- VMware vSAN HCI-Mesh
For more information about the configuration of the external storage, see VxRail Configure External Storage of Dynamic Node Cluster.
External storage does not impact the following VxRail features:
- Upgrades
- Reset
- Cluster shutdown
You can scale VxRail compute resources separately from storage capacity to improve overall hardware usage levels.
