Connecting Cloud Innovators: Building Community at .NEXT 2024
Hi, I got official statement of the Nutanix Support that vCLS VMs should be covered by ROBO license. Also, powered-off and CVM VMs not require a lic.
Hi Moustafa,Thank you for answering me in such a short time :-) I am asking about a pre-checks related to the new release of the AOS and upgrade. I’ve downloaded upgrade package tar xzf to it with is keeping installer in the ‘install’ folder.Install is very simple: start the command: “./install/bin/cluster -i ./install upgrade”Process will start pre-check and if all is fine upgrade.I am asking how to start ‘Pre-upgrade’ from the command line instead of from GUI. Command-line way of installation: it is showing progress in CLI and in GUI including health checks related to the upgrade: I am asking if is any single command to process in-advance pre-checks with no installation. Thanks!Dominik
Thanks Moustafa for your help. I will try and report here in any case of success or failure ;-)Dominik

Thanks Moustafa, but no luck… I’ve done inventory, but still no joy: Is any special file name for .json and AOS upgrade package that can be ‘detected’ with LCM via DarkSite?Dominik
Hello @Dominik.Siedlak For ESXi to need to do it from Prism, and keep in mind that DRS must be enabled, otherwise you need to upgrade ESXi manually. For more details: https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=vSphere-Admin6-AOS:vsp-node-upgrade-manual-vsphere-c.html For AOS and FS you can upload them to the LCM dark site web server, you need to check the compatibility. Hi Moustafa, great info. So, if you can guide me please: what is the correct location for the following files:Prism metadata (generated-nutanix_installer_package-release-fraser-6.5.1.6-stable-7c84485a320ec3a2552e8894822c9b6933ad8c91-x86_64-metadata.json) and install package (nutanix_installer_package-release-fraser-6.5.1.6-stable-7c84485a320ec3a2552e8894822c9b6933ad8c91-x86_64.tar.gz) ?Here is my http server structure: Dominik
You need to insert the Web server dark site ip/dns adres in settings. Hi,Yes, this part is done. As you can see LCM dark site offline bundle & HPE firmware is detected correctly. My question is: is it possible to update AOS/ESXi via Dark Site inventory? If yes, what is the correct location (Dark Site server) for uploading files like:* 7.0.0-u3f-20036589-hp-dx.json (METADATA) and ESXi update (VMware-ESXi-7.0.3-20036589-HPE-703.0.0.10.10.0.12-Oct2022.zip)* Prism metadata (generated-nutanix_installer_package-release-fraser-6.5.1.6-stable-7c84485a320ec3a2552e8894822c9b6933ad8c91-x86_64-metadata.json) and install package (nutanix_installer_package-release-fraser-6.5.1.6-stable-7c84485a320ec3a2552e8894822c9b6933ad8c91-x86_64.tar.gz)Question is: is LCM with Dark Site server repository (no access to the internet) can be used for upgrading AOS & hypervisor or just only LCM itself and firmware bundle?Dominik
