Thank you. I have made these kinds of install vids before for other products and its hard to cover everything needed and keep the pace barebones and fast. Kudos, well done.
After trying installing CE 2.1 the full weekend I gave up on using a USB key for Hypervisor boot disk and installed a SSD disk. And all my problems vent away. I tried two different SanDisk and two different Kingston all of them is USB 3.2 new and never used sticks. I will surgest a new video with error scenarios ;-) I have a long list ;-) But with 3 SSD disk it was smooth :-) - Thanks for your very good video
I tried to follow this process to install, however, I get a AHV install timeout even though I increased the timeout in the installer_vm.py file, any suggestions?
Hello, thanks for the video. I'm just getting started with Nutanix CE and have not tried to install just yet. Is it possible to install on a system with a single disk? Can the disk be partitioned into smaller disks?
Thanks for reaching out! Nutanix Community Edition 2.1 supports only the Nutanix hypervisor, AHV. For more questions please feel free to reach out on the NEXT Community Forums. If you'd like to try Nutanix on physical hardware with other hypervisors, the Nutanix sales team can help.
Thanks for reaching out! If you're creating a single node cluster and configure two CVM drives and two data drives you can run the cluster create script with --redundancy_factor=2 to configure data resilience. No need for additional RAID config.
It's in the instructions on the Nutanix support portal. But basically when you get to the CVM command line to build the cluster, instead of doing it for 1 node, you input a line with the other nodes details and off you go.
@@santhakumarsk6871 If this works in CE this will only work for adding 1 node to an exiting 3 node cluster, not adding 2 nodes. I suspect it won't work at CE doesn't have the IPMI access of the full nutanix product.
Four storage devices to just install the home lab-based version of Nutanix? Hmmm, that sounds a little ridiculous. You can install ESXI with a single disk on a computer and attach storage later. This seems like a terrible design. Even Promox wasn't this horrible.
*You haven't been watching properly.* - The setup consists of 2 SSD build-ins and 2 USB sticks. One USB stick only contains the installation software (ISO image). The other USB stick is to be used as a ‘boot device’. The fact that 2x 500GB SSDs have now been installed in the NUC is absolutely irrelevant. Why should you buy new hardware if you have some that you can use? On the other hand, she may also want to make a RAID. *Your conclusions are incomprehensible.* Did you notice that a NUC was used here? According to your logic, a desktop PC with a more powerful CPU would obviously not be suitable and that would be a senseless conclusion.
@ That still equals 4 storage type devices correct? You do know math right? You didn’t read my message. It’s irrelevant what they are used for, you still need ALL of them. So why don’t you go back and read my statement.
@@ericwilkins4945 ok, you don't get it. Who say you need 4 HDD/SSD USB-Types? You counting the USB-Stick with the installing Image to the setup?! - But you are a genius, so tell me where do you get the installation Software PXE-Boot?! - And if i don't want to use this or i didn't setup one, so i can't use it, what option do you have else? Do you know anything about IT? - I don't think so. The lack of basic knowlede about Hardware setup telling me you are an idiot. She desidet to use the 2nd USB-Stick for Booting. That doesn't mean you need a 2nd USB-Stick.

Hi, thanks for this video, I try to deploy a VM but I cannot see my hypervisor on the overview it's write "N/A"
I tried to follow this process to install, however, I get a AHV install timeout even though I increased the timeout in the installer_vm.py file, any suggestions?

How can we test and install different hypervisors ?

Do I have to configure the internal drives in some sort of RAID config or does the installer do that for me?

how to add 2 other nodes?

Go hardware option In prism element add cluster option

I am at the point to create the single node cluster, however when I enter: cluster status, I get "cluster: command not found" what am I missing?
Got it, turns out, i didn't successfully ssh to cvm.
Need to get make it accessible without a company/paid email
Nutanix does not allow this. but a cheap hosting and domain name and use the cpanel built in email
