What is VxRail?

VxRail is a family of hyper-converged infrastructure appliances developed jointly by VMware and Dell EMC. VxRail is built upon the foundation of vSAN, vSphere, and vCenter. VxRail comes bundled with vSAN, vSphere, vCenter Server, and a suite of industry-leading data services software from Dell EMC and VMware, including data recovery, logging, protection, cloud tiering and backup.

Module 1 - VxRail Initial Configuration (10 minutes)

This part of the lab is presented as a Hands-on Labs Interactive Simulation. This will allow you to experience steps which are too time-consuming or resource intensive to do live in the lab environment. In this simulation, you can use the software interface as if you are interacting with a live environment.

The orange boxes show where to click, and the left and right arrow keys can also be used to move through the simulation in either direction.

NOTE: Be aware, that the lab continues to run in the background. If you spend a long time in the simulation, the lab may go into standby mode. If this happens, just resume the lab.
