The VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 3.10 on Dell EMC VxRail release includes the following:
- ESXi Cluster-Level and Parallel Upgrades: Enables you to update the ESXi software on multiple clusters in the management domain or a workload domain in parallel. Parallel upgrades reduce the overall time required to upgrade your environment.
- NSX-T Data Center Cluster-Level and Parallel Upgrades: Enables you to upgrade all Edge clusters in parallel, and then all host clusters in parallel. Parallel upgrades reduce the overall time required to upgrade your environment. You can also select specific clusters to upgrade. The ability to select clusters allows for multiple upgrade windows and does not require all clusters to be available at a given time.
- Support for custom vDS: You can create a custom vDS after VxRail first run or after importing a cluster in SDDC Manager. The custom vDS is for traffic types such as backup and replication. It cannot handle system traffic.
- Skip Level Upgrades: Enables you to upgrade to VMware Cloud Foundation on Dell EMC VxRail 3.10 from versions 3.7 and later.
- Option to turn off Application Virtual Networks (AVNs) during Bring-up: AVNs deploy vRealize Suite components on NSX overlay networks and it is recommended you use this option during bring-up. If you turn off AVN during bring-up, vRealize Suite components are deployed to a VLAN-backed distributed port group.
- Option to deploy vRealize Suite 2019 products: Instead of the legacy vRealize Suite product versions included in the Cloud Foundation 3.10 Bill of Materials, you can deploy vRealize Suite 2019 products following prescriptive guidance.
- BOM Updates: Updated Bill of Materials with new product versions.
