building a home lab, sizing questions | Nutanix Community
Skip to main content
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 @TonyGolightly, 

 

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:
