Overview of this book

Hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) can help you simplify the provisioning and daily operations of computing and storage. With this book, you'll understand how HCI can offload the day 0 deployment and day-to-day operations of a system administrator. You'll explore the VxRail Appliance, which is an HCI solution that provides lifecycle management, automation, and operational simplicity. Starting with an overview of the VxRail Appliance system architecture and components, you'll understand the benefits of the VxRail system and compare it with the environment of traditional servers and storage. As you advance, the book covers topics such as disaster recovery and active-active and active-passive solutions for VxRail. By the end of this book, you'll have gained the confidence to manage the deployment, administration, planning, and design of a VxRail system.

Finally, this VxRail cluster will become a four-node cluster. The cluster expansion operation is executed with vCenter Server, and we can start the wizard with the VxRail plugin that will guide us through the steps to add the node to the cluster. Now, let's start the VxRail cluster expansion based on the aforementioned environment configuration.

Preparation

For the preparation phase, follow these steps:

  1. First, we open the web browser, go to the management IP address of the vCenter Server instance that is integrated with the VxRail Manager plugin, and then launch vSphere Client (HTML5):
