VxVerify<\/strong> is designed to be used after initial VxRail deployments and before upgrades, to proactively identify issues that could lead to complications or failures. I always recommend checking the cluster with VxVerify before making any further adjustments, such as customising the cluster or upgrading to vSphere\/VxRail 8 for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This tool unpacks so-called minions during execution, which are running on each ESXi in the cluster. Those minions are performing several host specific tests, but also VxRail Manager checks, vSAN health checks and they are even identifying ISO files, which are still attached to VMs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s start with – How to get access to VxVerify. After successfully logging into the Dell portal, you will be taken to the VxVerify page, which describes how to use VxVerify, where to download it and, most importantly, which version to use. Regardless of the target VxRail version, use the VxVerify version appropriate for the VxRail version you are upgrading from. This is the Link:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
