I am following this guide: https://www.jeroentielen.nl/installing-nutanix-community-edition-ce-on-vmware-esxi-vsphere/

 

I am getting this error message:  Operation failed: NoHostResources: No host is schedulable: 14

There is no insight in the entire system to say why the host is not schedulable.

I have allocated 100GB Memory, 16 cpu cores and 2.5TB of storage To CE 2.1.  All health checks are green.

VM i’m trying to run is Linux based, 2GB memory 128GB storage without any networking.

I’ve started and stopped the cluster. Entered and Exited Maintenance Mode.

 

The system is a Dell R720 with E5 2667 V2 processors running ESXI 7.0U3o

 

I am at a loss for why this system won’t run a basic linux VM.

 

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Looks like the host (AHV) is in maintenance mode. Can you paste the output of this command: acli host.list

If the host in not schedulable then make it schedulable by running: acli host.exit_maintenance_mode <host_AHV_IP_Address>

​@JeroenTielen 

I have done the above, but, the host still reports as “Schedulable == False”

nutanix@NTNX-2b1a5e16-A-CVM:192.168.42.3:~$ acli host.list

Still trying to figure this out.

Looks like the host got some network issues. It is still not connected. (Connected=false)

In my blog there is a section about the vmware virtual switch. Did you set those settings according the blogpost?

 

 

​@JeroenTielen 

Yes, I setup the Security policy settings.  

It is setup as VMXNET3.  I didn’t see any specific reference in your guide.  Maybe switch over to the Intel NIC emulation?

 

Well, I changed the NIC type to E1000, and still no change.  Connected=False, Schedulable=False

 

The CPU requirements are not very specific.  I have dual E5 2667 V2 processors; which is good for what I want to run inside Nutanix.  I’ve read about plenty of people using Dell R720 servers and Nutanix CE. 

 

 

I’m running out of ideas.

Did you try a reinstall? Maybe something wasnt right from the beginning. 

I have re-installed 3-4 times, no change in the result.  It will not run a simple VM.

I will turn on the ESX server and install a CE again and update the blogpost with the network interface,. 

Blogpost is updated with more detailed information. Can you try it again? And please, follow the steps exactly. 

​@JeroenTielen 

Are there any specific logs that I can check to determine why the host is not schedulable?

Your example shows vCenter 8.  I am using ESXI 7.0U3.  I don’t know if that would be a difference.

 

I’ll give it another go this afternoon and re-look at your website.

The esx server i used this week was also 7 😉. Works the same.
