I'm trying to use foundation to install Nutanix on a R730, but it doesn't properly map to the R730 when it starts the prechecks in Phoenix. It maps to a Lenovo device. I've check the hardware and software compatibility guides, and have the correct versions.
Hello, I'm trying to install Nutanix CE on my workstation. I keep getting “error 1155 could not create tmpvol.bin” and “Failed to create tmpvol”. I've already tried it on two different PCs and with different HDDs and SSDs. I tried it with UEFI and with legacy Bios. What could be the cause of this error? Thx.
Trying to deploy the latest CE image (phoenix.x86_64-fnd_5.6.1_patch-aos_6.8.1_ga) on a VMware Workstation 25 machine, the VM is being deployed with the recommended hardware (8 cores, 32Gb, 3 drives (64, 200 and 500). The machine I’m deploying on is a minipc with i9 16 cores, 64Gb Ram and plenty of free NVMe space so its not a resource issue. I see some other similar posts asking the same question but they looked to be using machines that didnt have sufficient ram to support the VM running with 32GB. I’ve tried turning the compatibility down to workstation 17.x but that’s made no difference.I’m getting the following error, I’ve looked through the log file but there doesnt appear to be anything obvious that is causing the issue. Thanks in advanceJohn

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
