Starting up VxRail
1. Verify that the top-of-rack (TOR) switch is powered on and connected to the network.
2. Power on each node manually by pressing its power button.
Wait several minutes for all service VMs to be powered on automatically. The locator LED of
Node1 is turned off automatically when VxRail Manager starts.
3. Using VCenter, manually restart all client VMs.
Note: If vCenter and VxRail Manager VMs are not available in 10 minutes, use the vSphere
client to log into host 1 to check the status of these VMs.
