Hi Rajesh

 

There is an official documentation that describes how you deploy Nutanix Files:

https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Files-v4_2:fil-file-server-deploy-c.html

 

 


 I have read it but i want to ask you whether is there any need of buying any subscription or not?

@Anda On creating the file server the pre-requisite of that is Download or Upload File Server Software.

But on opening that I can see No available versions for upgrade.

what to do now?

If you go to settings → Upgrade Software → File Server. Can you download your bits there? 


@JeroenTielen no available download is showing .

Hi Rajesh

 

Alternatively you can download the Files Binary from here: https://portal.nutanix.com/page/downloads?product=afs

 

Proceed and upload it then to your cluster via the settings site:

 


@Anda when i click on the link that you gave me it ask me to activate portal but I dont have any serial number to activate .
