Unamed PC with 2 named clusters attached

Hi,

I have 2 x 3 node clusters managed by a single Prism Central,  I have recently tried to upgrade the PC and it does not like the fact it is unnamed it has only a virtual IP - also with no entry in DNS.  So the terminology is confusing me a bit, to add a name to PC it requires the cluster name - is this a PC Cluster name, different to the 3 node cluster names?  or something else?  If I add an FQDN now will it break my existing clusters?

 

Thanks

Eric

Hi there Eric,

The name for the PC cluster is just a label, doesn't need to have DNS etc.

I've seen plenty of Unnamed PCs out there, it won't matter to your clusters when you rename it they communicate on IP anyway.

Cheers,

 

Kim.

BUT ;) 

 

If you give it a name, it will also be named in the nutanix portal (licensing, support tickets, etc). So it is easier to identify.
