When installing a Nutanix cluster on hardware servers pre-loaded with an existing operating system such as DiscoverOS, the best approach is to re-image the bare metal nodes. This process involves using the Nutanix Foundation tool to install the required Nutanix software (such as AOS and Hypervisor) onto the nodes, replacing any pre-existing software. This ensures that the hardware is properly configured and optimized for the Nutanix environment.References:

After an onsite cluster deployment, the As-Built Guide is a crucial document that provides detailed information about the final configuration of the system. However, certain data in the As-Built Guide might require adjustment or might be missing completely.

In this case, the Nutanix Node Port Layout (Option A) and the Physical Rack Layout (Option C) are two data that might require adjustment or might be missing completely. The Nutanix Node Port Layout provides a visual representation of the network connections for each node in the cluster, while the Physical Rack Layout provides a visual representation of the physical arrangement of the nodes in the rack. Both of these data are crucial for understanding the physical and network configuration of the cluster, and any inaccuracies or omissions in these data could lead to confusion or issues in the future.

Therefore, the consultant should ensure that the Nutanix Node Port Layout and the Physical Rack Layout in the As-Built Guide are accurate and complete.

When managing multiple Nutanix AHV clusters across various locations with a centralized management through Prism Central, it is essential to secure each cluster individually. Integrating Microsoft Active Directory authentication directly on all Prism Element clusters allows each site to independently authenticate users while still being centrally managed. This method aligns with security policies that require network devices to authenticate via AD groups, ensuring that local administrative actions at each site are also secured under the same policy.
