Prerequisites

The following are the prerequisites for configuring GigaVUE-FM and fabric images in Nutanix.

• If the Gigamon fabric VMs (Fabric Controller and GigaVUE-VM) are deployed on multiple clusters, the management network selected during configuration must have the same name on all clusters.
• You must upload the GigaVUE-FM image and fabric image (Fabric Controller and GVM) files in the Prism Central repository. Do not use the Prism Element to upload the GigaVUE-FM image and fabric image files.
• Assigning a Static IP on Gigamon Fabric Nodes is not supported and the management subnet selection must be DHCP enabled.
• Only one GVM can be deployed per Nutanix Node.

• A Fabric Controller can be shared among GVMs on multiple clusters as long as there is network connectivity

• The GVM does not support any GigaSMART applications in Nutanix for GigaVUE-FM version 5.8.
• For GigaVUE FM to orchestrate the solution, the minimum requirement that the Nutanix admin account must be a Prism Central Admin on Prism Central and a Cluster Admin on individual clusters. The password must set to be the same across the environment if they are locally managed. Alternatively, if the Nutanix Prism Central is configured with external authentication like AD/LDAP then you can avoid replicating the manual password creation across the environment.
• While uploading the fabric images in Nutanix, ensure that the file names of the Fabric images have,
  • "gigamon-fabric-cntlr-1.7-1" as the Fabric Controller filename.
  • "gigamon-gvm-nutanix-1.7-1" as the GVM filename.
