Nutanix Foundation Failure - "fatal: Running CVM Installer, Starting host installer"

Hello everyone. We are deploying Nutanix for the first time using foundation v5.7 with 4node XC-660 servers and Dell S5224-ON top of rack switches.

Launching foundation, we are getting repeatable Failure:

"fatal: Running CVM Installer, Starting host installer"

Phoenix is installed on all servers but that is as far as the install gets. Any ideas?

We have a case open as well with Nutanix

+8

Can the foundation vm talk to the BMC’s and to the IP’s you gave for AHV and CVM?

Nutanix NTC 2022+2023+2024+2025+2026 || Community Excellence Award 2025+2026 || Nutanix NUG Champion || Nutanix Certified Instructor

We are able to ping the CVM IPs but not the AHV IPs.

Im not sure where to look for the BMC communication or how we could verify that.

once the foundation is initiated, we find that Phoenix has been installed

would it help to upload log files?

here is one of the failure logs scrolled down to where it fails
