Hi,

Can any one replay on above quarry……...


I will give it a try ;)

 

One of my customer planning to deploy vSphere with Nutanix Cluster and what are the advantages to using AHV Nutanix Cluster and Esxi Nutanix Cluster… : AHV is in the product. If you want to use ESXi as hypervisor you need to pay for the extra licenses and have a vCenter installation as well. 

 

What are the extra features are there to use vSphere Nutanix Cluster….? I dont know 😉 Let the customer come with a requirement list and put that list against the feature set of AHV and ESXi. 

 

why we have to integrate the vCenter with the Prism Element…? what are the advantages..? You need to have vCenter integrated to do maintenance and LCM. I dont see any advantages to use ESXi as hypervisor, just use AHV ;)

 

and what things we have to do in vCenter level after cluster deploying…….. : See:

But you should try to use AHV, it is way easier to maintain (saves some money on the TCO) and less complex (no vcenter) and less resources overhead (no vcenter) etc etc etc.
