VxRack SDDC lifecycle managementAuditing, Reporting, and downloading releases for upgrades
Controlled by VMware Cloud Foundation and the release software bundle contents
• Software bundle is dependent on specific server and switch hardware
• VMware defines qualified hardware and software combinations
Factory installation includes bare metal imaging of servers and switches using VMware Imaging Appliance (VIA) and software bundles from VMware
• VxRack SDDC applies the bundle for Dell servers, Cisco ToRand interconnect switches, and Dell management switch
Automatically installs updates from VMware/Dell EMC download site
• SDDC Manager’s LCM does not update firmware for servers and switches
