VxRAIL with vSphere Ent
Can anyone tell me the technical difference between VxRAIL with vSphere Std and VxRAIL with vSphere Ent?
If we buy VxRAIL with vSphere Ent, can we use Storage I/O Control, Network I/O Controle, SR-IOV and Auto Deploy, which are vSphere Ent support??

The link above shows the comparison. If you apply the vSphere Ent Plus you will get those features and DRS.

I want to know if the function fo Ent Plus such as Storage I/O Control, Network I/O Controle, SR-IOV and Auto Deploy, conflict with the function with VSAN? Or doesnt VxRAIL really use those functions?

i can answer the following
1, SIOC is not applicable to VSAN
2, NIOC is supported and often recommended with VSAN
3, SR-IOV - will need confirmation before I can say respond
3, Auto Deploy is currently not supported with VSAN

Just posting my observation here.
I went into the physical adapters on node 1 on my vxrail demo unit, enabled SR-IOV, and rebooted. As soon as I did that, the entire cluster blew up and became disconnected. When node 1 came back up, nodes 2-4 were still down/inaccessible (could not even ping them). I disabled SR-IOV on node 1, rebooted, and 10 minutes later all 4 VxRail nodes came back online.
I'm using Appliance Version 2, SW 3.5
I was trying to add a second distributed switch to the VxRail without removing the defaults. Perhaps there's a "right order" to do it in. Curious if anyone ever received guidance from VCE/DellEMC on that.
