Failed bios lock

You can use that iso only on hpe hardware. So get yourself an iso which is not vendor specific.

You install CE by creating a bootable USB stick from the downloaded ISO. You can do this with rufus for example. All information can be found in the link provided in my first reply. or here: https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Nutanix-Community-Edition-Getting-Started-v2_0:top-installing-ce-t.html

Nutanix Cluster Deployment Without vCenter

https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/kbs/details?targetId=kA032000000TVQACA4From AOS 5.17+ onwards vCenter registration is a mandatory requirement for DR workflows. https://www.vmwaremine.com/2021/06/02/no-vcenter-servers-were-found/The main reason why you should do that is vCenter registration is required for 1-Click ESXi upgrade to work properly. But the best is this: https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/solutions/details?targetId=RA-2147-Nutanix-for-Enterprise-Edge:vmware-vsphere.htmlIf you use vSphere in your enterprise edge deployment, deploy a highly available vCenter instance with an embedded Platform Services Controller to manage the ESXi-based Nutanix clusters. Nutanix upgrade automation features, such as one-click upgrades and LCM, require the advanced control features that vCenter provides. You also need vCenter Server to create and manage the VMware vSphere cluster responsible for the Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) and HA, and Prism Central to manage the Nu

Nutanix HA without license

Do you have Replication Factor 1 containers? And was the disk of the VM stored on an replication factor 1 container? And was the replication factor 1 container on the host that went down?

Nutanix HA without license

Are you running CE? Or are you running commercial version without license? But no, this is not expected unless the disk was/is on a RF1 container.

Intermittent network issue between VMs on different NX hosts

I've seen many issues with wrongly configured switches.As you are using LACP, did you configured LACP on the switch ports as well? And are the switches (I'm not a CISCO network guy. So I dont know the name for this) aware of the split LACP across multiple switches? (In Mellanox terms MLAG with an IPL between switches). Or are there VLANS missing on specific switch ports? If you can switch to active-backup then that would be the first step to test. Dont forget to disable LACP on the switch ports as well.

Install instructions for installing nutanix CE on ehl host

Hi, can you please explain what an EHL host is? But normally just boot the CE installer from an USB disk and follow onscreen instructions. And make sure you meet the requirements as described here: https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Nutanix-Community-Edition-Getting-Started-v2_0:Nutanix-Community-Edition-Getting-Started-v2_0

Is logging in with a domain account not possible either? Is there a public key uploaded for SSH access? If so, connect with the corresponding private key via ssh.

What do you mean with AD ports? Active Directory? So you want iDrac (“IPMI” on Dell servers) to authenticate against AD? Then it should be 636 (not 389 as that is unsecure ldap).

Phoenix fails to load squashfs.img from network and node's filesystem

Foundation will mount a iso file via IPMI to the nodes. The nodes startup from these ISO and will use the normal interfaces (IP address and VLAN and LACP settings are provides via foundation wizards) to talk back to foundation. If this "talk back” isnt working you get these errors. And: Dont forget to disable the firewall on the machine where foundation is running, or open the inbound connection.

Removing the G5-Nodes from the cluster.

Ok I see you have a RF2 cluster (Redundancy Factor). So you cannot go below 3 nodes.But you had a 5 node cluster. So it is possible that erasure coding is enabled on a container. If so, you cannot go below 4 nodes. (Disable Erasure coding is the only solution then)

Removing the G5-Nodes from the cluster.

You cant remove nodes until you have a 2 node cluster. 3 nodes is the minimum. But if you have a RF3 cluster you cant go below 5 nodes. And if you have storage containers with erasure coding enabled you cant go below 4 nodes. So you need to buy an extra G8/G9 node and add that to the cluster. So you have a 3 node cluster with the G8 nodes.
