Hello Community, we have to set up a cluster with CISCO 220C M8 Rackservers.In Nutanix Documentation I saw two methods:UCS Manager (Foundation VM) ISM Standalone (Foundation Central)But customer does not have got any of these management solutions.In Foundation VM I can see two options:Cisco (install via UCS Manager) Cisco (install without UCS Manager)Does the second option mean that I can do a foundation standalone like other servers (HPE, DELL, ...)? Thanks in advance,kid regards, Thomas

Hi everyone,I’m trying to download the latest version of Nutanix Community Edition (CE), specifically v7.1 or newer (ideally matching AOS 7.3). However, I can only find the download link for CE v6.8.1 on the official portal.Does Nutanix still offer CE versions aligned with AOS 7.x (e.g., 7.1, 7.2, or 7.3)? If so, could someone please share the correct download link or guidance on how to access it?Thanks in advance!

Hi. I having a terrible time trying to deploy X-ray in vCenter. It just sits and says updating forever. Attached screen shot. Some questions.X-ray has 2 nics apparently, the second one being labled NODCHP, which is good as we do not have dhcp on the test network we will be doing on. As for the mgt nic/ip, does it need internet access to get anything? The nutanix ports page do not say it does, yet the documetnation states how to add a proxy. I have tried with and without a proxy and it just will just hang on that updating page for days. Can someone point me in a direction to look at? Thank you!

I have a test 3-node Nutanix cluster. Just starting to learn. They are NX G9s. Each node has 4x25GB ports, but during installation only 2 were configured. Is it possible, or even best practice, to islolate the storage traffic from the VM traffic? Ie, maybe configure the unused 2 ports as another vSwtich and run the distributed fabric over that? If so, even possible to do this after install? Apologies for any misunderstandings. 

I create a 3 node cluster on top of ESXi for lab. assign 3 nic in each node. After cluster build  by default 4 nic attach with switch vs0. When i remove 2 nic from the vs0, it automatically hypervisor rolling restart.  How can i remove 2 nic form vs0. I tried from cli but result same.  

I have downloaded the NutanixCli from Prism Central. Instead of using the shortcut desktop app I would like to use with VSCode. Has anyone been able to use it that way? What steps do you have to do to make it work?

I’m trying to enable File Analytics for my Files instance, but I keep getting the error: “Can’t connect to provided domain” when attempting domain join.Here’s my setup and what I’ve verified so far:Environment: AD server, Files server, and File Analytics server are all deployed within the same cluster. Files Configuration: SMB authentication is enabled under Authentication. Administrator account is configured under Manage Roles. Connectivity Checks: From the File Analytics console, I can successfully ping the AD server and perform nslookup for name resolution. Despite these checks, enabling File Analytics for Files still fails with the domain connection error. I’m running out of ideas at this point.Has anyone encountered a similar issue? Are there specific settings

I had a previous topic open on this but it’s been a while.  The previous topic concluded that the NICS weren’t compatible so I replaced them and reinstalled Nutanix CE.  It’s now installed but I don’t think it’s picking up the NICS still and I cannot get into the console to see.  The cards are Intel X550 cards.  Any ideas?
