Error During Nutanix Cluster Installation on Lenovo Nodes "because dependencies not met"

Hello everyone,I am currently experiencing an issue while installing a Nutanix cluster on two Lenovo ThinkAgile HX630 V3 CN nodes, with a witness virtual machine. Below are the detailed system versions and the error messages encountered.AOS and AHV Versions: AOS: 192-168-75-10: 6.8 J901TNBT (ThinkAgile HX630 V3 CN): 6.5.3 J901TNBV (ThinkAgile HX630 V3 CN): 6.5.3 AHV: 192-168-75-10: ? J901TNBT (ThinkAgile HX630 V3 CN): AHV el7.nutanix.20220304.385 J901TNBV (ThinkAgile HX630 V3 CN): AHV el7.nutanix.20220304.385 The installation fails at the "ImagingStepProvisionNetwork" step with an error message indicating a "Timeout (240s) in waiting for events ['provision_remote']". This seems to cause a cascade of failures in subsequent installation steps, preventing the process from completing.I have verified the current IP addresses and potential conflicts via arp-scan, but this has not resolved the issue.Has anyone encountered this type of issue or have any suggestions on how to resolve it ?

Compatibility Inquiry: Adding Cisco B200 M5 as Compute-Only Nodes to Existing Nutanix Cluster

We are currently operating a Nutanix cluster with Cisco UCSC C240 M7 nodes. We are considering expanding this cluster by adding two Cisco B200 M5 servers as compute-only nodes. Before proceeding, we would like to confirm the following:1. Is it possible to install AHV on Cisco B200 M5 servers and integrate them as compute-only nodes into our existing Nutanix cluster?2. Are there any specific configurations or firmware requirements for the B200 M5 servers to ensure compatibility with Nutanix AHV?3. Can you provide any documentation or guidance on the best practices for this type of integration?Thank you

Nutanix Community Edition fails to install on HPE DX380a Gen11

Hi - We have a requirement to install CE on an HPE DX380a Gen11 server. We have downloaded the phoenix-ce2.0-fraser-6.5.2-stable-fnd-5.3.4-x86_64 iso and connected this the the virtual CD drive on the HP server and done a one time boot from CD.The CE installer starts to run but then always errors at the following screen:- We have tried disabling max power mode changing to OS Control and downloaded the ISO a couple of times also. The server has 4 drives which looks to be a CE limit so hopefully we are ok with that. This is the first time we have tried to install CE but now not sure what else to try to get this installedAny help gratefully receivedThanksGuy Bannister

Cannot Access CVM Web Page

this is my first test install with single node cluster, I cannot access web apge, I am getting below error. I am using Chrome version 126.0.6478.62 to browse to web site.172.21.192.61 normally uses encryption to protect your information. When Chrome tried to connect to 172.21.192.61 this time, the website sent back unusual and incorrect credentials. This may happen when an attacker is trying to pretend to be 172.21.192.61, or a Wi-Fi sign-in screen has interrupted the connection. Your information is still secure because Chrome stopped the connection before any data was exchanged.You cannot visit 172.21.192.61 right now because the website sent scrambled credentials that Chrome cannot process. Network errors and attacks are usually temporary, so this page will probably work later.

Nutanix CE - Failed AHV Update

Hi,I recently created a new Nutanix CE, single node cluster to play around with.Installation went fine, no issues As per the Nutanix recomendation, post install, I ran Inventory (Updated LCM), then perfomed updates to NCC, Foundation and AOS, individually. AOS went from 6.5.2 to 6.5.5.7 on the LTS Path via automated LCM updates. I then Direct Uploaded the LCM Image for AOS 6.7.1.8 STS (lcm_nos_6.7.1.8.tar.gz) which successfully upgraded to 6.7.1.8 STS. After running an Inventory, so LCM could find the latest supported version of AHV, the time came for the AHV Upgrade. Everything seemed to be going ok, until the reboot (after the AHV upgrade in progress screen). Logging back on to the CVM and looking at the LCM page, I get the following error related to the AHV upgrade. “Operation Failed. Reason: LCM failed performing action ahv_reimage_success_check in phase PostActions on ip address 192.168.*.* Failed with error 'Reimaging error: Unknown error, possible pre-mount failure?'
