Figure 63. VCF on VxRail LCM components
Credentials for a My VMware account and a Dell Support account must be provided for the LCM process to download the appropriate upgrade bundles. VMware and Dell Technologies validate updates and distribute them using native VCF and Dell VxRail upgrade bundles. Upon notification of the available update, the upgrade bundle must be manually downloaded and staged to SDDC Manager before starting the upgrade.
Note: The Mgmt WLD must be upgraded first. Upgrades cannot be applied to VxRail VI WLD before they are applied to the Mgmt WLD.
