Introduction

VxRail Manager HTML 5 plug-in

This module provides an introduction to monitoring a VxRail cluster using the VxRail Manager. It covers tasks such as checking overall cluster health, navigating the physical view of the cluster, viewing node information, and accessing details about components such as disks, NIC ports, and power supplies.

Monitoring a VxRail Cluster

One of the strengths of VxRail is the full-stack LCM functionality, which makes updating the cluster a simple and automated process.  In this module, you will undertake the upgrade of a VxRail Cluster experiencing the ease and simplicity with which the operation is performed.
