Skip to main content

Team,

I have a NUTANIX cluster running on the Dell Hardware with 11 Dell XC6320-6 model servers. I have spare Dell XC630-10 server and want to  check can i re purpose that server to the existing Cluster which is running with  Dell XC6320-6  hardware ?

@SinghK Are you planning to expand the cluster with spare hardware with XC630-10? if yes Mixed clusters are supported with Nutanix as far as they fall under CPU/Memory guidelines 

Both models are with 2 CPU and 512 GB RAM. Both models are having different CPU model. 

 

Below are the details.
