VxRail dynamic nodes
The VxRail dynamic node cluster is a type of VxRail cluster deployment that requires a minimum of two nodes with the same model in the VxRail cluster, supported by three VxRail hardware models, E660F, P670F, and V670F. These nodes are built on Dell PowerEdge 15th-generation servers. VxRail dynamic nodes do not include any storage resources and only consist of the compute resources. However, these nodes can also deliver all the benefits of the VxRail Appliance system, except the storage resources. If you choose this type of cluster deployment, you need to connect to an external storage array. The external storage supports various options, including Dell PowerStore, Dell PowerMax, and Dell Unity XT. In Figure 2.5, there is a VxRail dynamic node cluster with four nodes connected to an external storage array. In this type of cluster deployment, the connectivity of the VxRail dynamic node and external storage is in Fibre Channel (FC in the diagram).
