2USB Boot Medium | Nutanix Community
Skip to main content

Can I also set the system so that I no longer need the 2nd USB stick?
now the system needs this as a boot medium

Do you mean in a Community Installation? If so, yes. You can also install AHV (The HyperVisor) on a different bootdisk.

Ok, how i make that?

In the Installtion i must use 2 USB Sticks, how can i switch the Medium?


  1. Have a USB Stick with the installer on it. 
  2. You machine must have 1 SSD (For CVM) and 1 SSD/HDD (for Data) and 1 "disk” for AHV (this can also be a USB drive, but you dont want that). 
  3. Install CE and chose the correct disks for their purpose.

I have already solved it, installed 2 ssds and the hypervisor on one SSD
