Hi Team
I am trying to setup Prism Central in Nutanix CE. I have configured the required details in Prism Console for deploying prism central. My deployment is failing repeatedly and getting the error saying it’s failed in tarball extraction phase. I have tried multiple times and every time I saw the issue in UI.
I went through the /home/nutanix/data/logs/genesis.out logs to get more details on the issue. I found something interesting there. When we start the Prism central deployment, it first tried to download the prism central tarball and unzip it. One it’s unzipped then it’s start to convert the qcow2 file to image. when it start to convert the qcow2 → image , the command is configured with a timeout of 1800 sec. Please have a look into the below log line.

Exception: Unable to extract image
If we compare the timestamp between start and when the error occurred, it’s exactly 30 mins and which is equivalent to 1800 sec. I am not sure why the timeout is configured by Nutanix but it’s putting our deployment to a failed state.
Can you please let us know how to get rid of this timeout by configuring it to a higher interval or just remove the timeout check. All the required screenshots are attached.
