See KB 86230 for information about activating and deactivating the SSH service on ESXi hosts.How to uninstall Dell Foundation Services from your systemDell Foundation Services is a computer program. Update your scripts to account for this new behavior. NOTE: Scripts that rely on SSH being activated on ESXi hosts will not work after upgrading to VMware Cloud Foundation 4.5, since VMware Cloud Foundation 4.5 deactivates the SSH service by default. IMPORTANT: Before you upgrade a vCenter Server, take a file-based backup. If your environment is at a version earlier than 4.2.1, you must upgrade the management domain and all VI workload domains to VMware Cloud Foundation 4.2.1 and then upgrade to VMware Cloud Foundation 4.5. You can perform a sequential or skip level upgrade to VMware Cloud Foundation 4.5 on Dell EMC VxRail from VMware Cloud Foundation 4.2.1 or later. See Dell VxRail: How to support VxRail 7.0.410 with VCF 4.5 for more information. If you deployed VMware Cloud Foundation 4.5 with VxRail Manager 7.0.400, you can upgrade VxRail Manager to 7.0.410. Before you upgrade VxRail Manager, refer to Dell KB 000200622 for details about detecting and remediating potential issues. There is a known issue that can occur when upgrading from VxRail Manager 7.0.37x to VxRail Manager 7.0.37x or 7.0.40x. To upgrade vCenter Server, download and apply the upgrade bundle. Until you upgrade vCenter Server, you will not be able to deploy a VI workload domain. However, the VMware Cloud Foundation 4.5 BOM requires vCenter Server 7.0 Update 3h (build 20395099). When you deploy the management domain, VxRail Manager 7.0.400 deploys vCenter Server 7.0 Update 3g (build 20150588). See the Dell VxRail 7.0.x Release Notes for more information about the 7.0.410 release. VMware Cloud Foundation 4.5 also supports VxRail Manager 7.0.410. You can access the latest versions of the content packs for vRealize Log Insight from the VMware Solution Exchange and the vRealize Log Insight in-product marketplace store. The vRealize Operations Manager management pack is installed when you deploy vRealize Operations Manager. VRealize Log Insight content packs are installed when you deploy vRealize Log Insight. See vRealize Suite Upgrade Paths on VMware Cloud Foundation 4.4.x +. vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager determines which versions of these products are compatible and only allows you to install/upgrade to supported versions. You can use vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager to deploy vRealize Automation, vRealize Operations Manager, vRealize Log Insight, and Workspace ONE Access (formerly known as VMware Identity Manager). VMware ESXi and VMware vSAN are part of the VxRail BOM. The components in the BOM are interoperable and compatible. The VMware Cloud Foundation software product is comprised of the following software Bill-of-Materials (BOM). See VMware Validated Solutions – October 2022 Update.īOM updates: Updated Bill of Materials with new product versions. VMware Validated Solutions: All existing solutions updated to support VMware Cloud Foundation 4.5, including the use of the vRealize Automation Cloud service with the VMware Cloud Foundation platform.

Migration enablement: This release introduces support for Mixed Mode migrations and supports new topologies for migration from VCF 3.x through 4.x. SDDC Manager Onboarding Workflow: The SDDC Manager UI provides an easy, wizard-like interface for new users to configure their VCF deployment.Īccessibility improvements: This release resolves critical accessibility issues to provide a fully accessible interface. Operational improvements: Users can now rename clusters and apply user-defined tags to objects. Improvements to upgrade prechecks: Upgrade prechecks have been expanded to verify license and NSX-T edge cluster password validation, file permissions checks, password and certification rotation failed workflows validation, and also noisy vSAN health checks can be silenced. Improvements to using VCF at scale: Users can now add clusters in parallel and add/remove hosts at scale. Support for VCF+: This release introduces support for subscription cloud services including vSphere+ and vSAN+. The VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 4.5 on Dell EMC VxRail release includes the following:
