VxRail is a Hyper-converged infrastructure, provided by a cross-collaboration with Dell EMC, and VMware management solutions. It combines the compute, storage, networking, and virtualization platforms into a single consolidated interface. This simplifies and streamlines the deployment and management of virtual machines.
To discover VxRail devices in OpManager, follow the below steps.
- Go to Settings -> Discovery -> HCI discovery.
- Now, select the VxRail tab.
