I'm trying to use foundation to install Nutanix on a R730, but it doesn't properly map to the R730 when it starts the prechecks in Phoenix. It maps to a Lenovo device. I've check the hardware and software compatibility guides, and have the correct versions.

Was this r730 bought as a Nutanix node? Could be that the wrong identity is in de node. Then you need to contact dell.

The R730 wasn’t bought as a Nutanix node, it is a regular R730.

Got it. You cant install the commercial version of nutanix on non hcl hardware. (Foundation is for the commercial version). You can try installing CE on it.
