Initial setup and configuration
Install, deploy, and configure your VxRail.
To install and deploy VxRail, you have the following options:
●
You can purchase deployment services from Dell Technologies. If you are using VxRail deployment services from Dell
Technologies, do not rack the VxRail or connect power. Contact your Dell Technologies account team or reseller to arrange
for deployment by Dell Technologies certified technicians.
●
Select the VxRail self-deployment option (no installation services). Go to
for deployment
instructions and guidance.
Self-deployment
You must have extensive network experience, understanding of VxRail infrastructure planning, and deployment knowledge to
perform a VxRail self-deployment. If you are uncertain you can complete the end-to-end deployment process, contact your sales
representative for Dell Technologies Services. If you are unable to complete the deployment, contact your sales representative
for Dell Technologies Services.
During the VxRail deployment, iDRAC creates a
vxadmin
or
PTAdmin
account. This account provides hardware information
to the
VxRail Manager
and is required for the
VxRail Manager
and the cluster to function properly. Ensure that you do not
modify or delete this account.
CAUTION:
Do not modify or delete the iDRAC account created during deployment. If the account is modified or
deleted, VxRail Manager and the cluster may not function properly.
