building a home lab, sizing questions
Hello all,
i'm trying to build a very simple home lab so i can get through the NCP cert, hopefully prior to our new nutanix gear arrives at my work.
at home i have an i7 8700k, 16gb of ram, and several HDDs. i also have a NAS device. i run windows 10 on my one available machine.
my issue is this: i can only feasibly spare 12 gb of ram, and i dont have a dedicated 200 GB SSD, but i have several terabytes of HDD storage available.
is it possible for me to get a home lab up and running with this config? using VMWare Workstation or something similar?
thanks,
Tony

Hi
Apologies for the late reply here but yes it is possible to modify the minimum_requirements to install a nested community edition version.
Instructions can be found depending on the target platform:
