5 Essential Tips for Maximizing Your Experience at Nutanix .NEXT for Bloggers
Having checked the requirements for NGT management with ESXi and liaising with support, our version of AOS did not meet the minimum for automated NGT installation, hence why it failed. I managed to semi-automate the process by extracting all the vm-id’s from the VM’s I needed to install NGT on then mounted the NGT CD from the CLI using: ‘ncli ngt mount vm-id=123456789xyx’ Then I ran the following command for each server to silently install NGT. ‘start psexec64 -s \\servername cmd /c d:\setup.exe /quiet ACCEPTEULA=yes /norestart’. This worked well for 90% of the 70 servers I used. The remainder required manual installation as either no CD was mounted or the D drive was already in use but this wasn’t really and issue.
So I believe this is only currently supported on AHV VMs. Does anyone have experience with ESXi?
I am looking to install NGT on a number of VM’s using this method however the option ‘Confirm & Enter Password’ is always greyed out and the message at the top of the window states ‘NGT can only be installed on 0/XX VMs (AHV/ESXi clusters).’ regardless of the number of VM’s I select.Do you know why I am unable to install NGT?
Hi Alona, That’s perfect. Many thanks. Peter
