not available.
Migration from VxRail L2 personality to L3 fabric personality is
not available with SmartFabric OS10 10.5.0.5 version, and will
be available in a future release.
NOTE: Dell Technologies recommends enabling all new deployments with L3 leaf and spine fabric personality. VxRail
SmartFabric deployments using older VxRail L2 single rack personality cannot be upgraded to the new L3 leaf and spine
fabric personality automatically. A migration workflow will be available in a future release to allow existing deployments to
expand to a multi rack solution.
