Issue/Introduction

This article compares VxRail versions, VxRail Manager versions with vCenter Server, ESXi and vSAN build numbers . 

Note: We cannot upgrade hosts and vCenter Server directly through offline bundles / VUM in case of a VxRail Appliance, all upgrades should go through the VxRail Manager.

Environment

VMware vSAN 9.0.x
VMware vSAN 8.0.x
VMware vSAN 7.0.x
