External vCenter running on VxRail storage
Can you run an external vCenter VM on the same VxRail storage that it manages? I read someplace that it wasn't supported but this might be out of date information.

Hello nickarlingtontx,
You can have an external vcenter. Here is a link to a couple of KB’s that provide more information. https://dell.to/32ispYN

Yes you can run an "external" (you may also see it referred to as "customer supplied") on the VxRail cluster, starting with VxRail 4.7 and later. There are some limitations though (like the VxRail assisted cluster shutdown won't work). You can get more information on the limitations on page 9 here - https://www.delltechnologies.com/resources/en-us/asset/technical-guides-support-information/products/converged-infrastructure/vxrail-vcenter-server-planning-guide.pdf
