We´re currently trying to install a Big IP LTM image on Nutanix using acropolis however it´s not working... it seems we´re missing something. We´ve found a link in regards of this topic but we are receiving a message infoming we have no access to it. Does anyone know how we should proceed in order to install a F5 VE on Nutanix using acropolis?

Thanks in advance!
That post was archive and is not available anymore. Is this for Nutanix community edition (CE) or our paid product? If its for the paid product I can move your post to the right forum. Let me know and thanks
We have a customer facing KB that shows how to use the KVM version of the F5 BIG IP Virtual Edition appliance on a host running Acropolis Hypervisor (AHV).
Here is the KB link, but you will have to provide credentials with access to support portal: http://portal.nutanix.com/kb/3128
Hello,
There are absolutely no special requirements needed to install F5 BIGIP on Nutanix AHV.
Simply move the F5 BIGIP qcow KVM disk image to the Nutanix image service.
Then create a VM using this disk image and connect as many network adapters to the VM as you need.
At that point you’re ready to power up the VM and follow the F5 installation and configuration instructions.
Sadly not.
MCPD fails to initialise.

I am trying to access this link too but i a. getting an error
http://portal.nutanix.com/kb/3128
we recently deploy a new nutanix cluster on AHV and i would like to know how to rebuild the Load balancer F5 that we had originally in hyper-V.. i understand migrating it using move would not work so can you please provide the location when such information is available
Thank you

Hi,
I would also like to access this information as we also need to deploy F5 into AHV.
Thanks

Hi, same here. Would like to install F5 on AHV.
Could not get that last link to kb3128 to work…

Yes, we found version 14 didn’t work at all, v15 only latest with some hotfixes, v16 works just fine out the box. So definitely take the ‘it runs on KVM / AHV’ claims with a large pinch of salt.
