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. 

Same problem here - is there a solution know? Network is ok, AFAIK enough resources but still PC VM refuses to start

Note: downloaded latest available PC offered in PE

​@ClausP do you have a screenshot of your error? 

Hey Jeroen, 

when trying to boot up the PC VM after deployment iPE reported “Operation failed nohostresources ..:” while plety resources available and same like Chris (Scheduleable and Connected false which is quite funny as I was connected with Putty directly to the CVM from my workstation over the physical network))

I am now going with a new installation from scratch to see if there’s any difference (before I know I did not set the disk.EnableUUID parameter

Will report if it should bring up a more positive outcome. 

Regards! 

Claus 

Same issue here

please, keep posting if you find a solution

Thanks
