Hi Everyone,

Imported the Witness VM OVA in Oracle VirtualBox for two node cluster and configured IP address. Failed to create cluster and stuck in waiting service to start. Any suggestions?

There is no witness vm for oracle vb only for ahv and esxi. Can you deploy it on 1 of those supported hypervosors?

And here is the installation guide: https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Prism-Element-Data-Protection-Guide-v7_0:sto-cluster-witness-option-wc-c.html

Thanks...no esxi host is available in the environment. Only way is to deploy the witness VM in AHV itself or not deploying the witness VM.
