CVM IP address not reachable (Nutanix CE)

What’s your network configuration? My assumption is that you make a connection from the AHV host to the CVM using the external ip address….

Hi,

I have not configured an external IP address, the Nutanix CE is running on a vmware environment.

how do you ssh from AHV to CVM?

You need to enable promiscuous mode on the portgroup in VMware. 

The AHV IP address is reachable from AHV I can SSH into the CVM, and yes the promiscuous mode was disabled and now enabled but still the CVM is not reachable.

Hi, 

Thanks, it worked.

I tried doing a virtual three node cluster with CE on ESXi but could never get the three host to reliably talk to each other to build the cluster.  1 out of the three host’s CVM would always be unreachable.  I single node cluster works.  I simplified to a single nic on the ESXi host for the vswitch to ensure it wasn’t a network issue.  I did make the changes to Accept for Promiscuous, Mac address changes and Forged transmits.

You can try a “trick” - run pings between hosts and CVMs, to update mac address table. 

Once all CVMs are “pingeable”, try to create a cluster.
