Prerequisites (Nutanix)

The following are the prerequisites for configuring GigaVUE‑FM, GigaVUE V Series Node, and GigaVUE V Series Proxy in Nutanix.

  • The minimum requirement for deploying GigaVUE Cloud Suite for Nutanix is 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.
  • You must upload the GigaVUE‑FM, GigaVUE V Series Node, and GigaVUE V Series Proxy image files in the Prism Central repository. Do not use the Prism Element to upload the GigaVUE‑FM image and fabric image files. Refer to Upload Fabric Images for more detailed information on how to upload the image to Prism Central.
  • Assigning a static IP for GigaVUE V Series Node and GigaVUE V Series Proxy is not supported. DHCP must be enabled for the management subnet and tunnel subnet.
  • Only one GigaVUE® V Series Node can be deployed per Nutanix Node.
  • You must create a subnet and security group in Nutanix Prism Central. For more information on creating a subnet, see Configuring Network Connections.

  • User account with same credentials should be created in PRISM ELEMENT as in Prism Central.

  • CLUSTER ADMIN role should be enabled for selected user account in PRISM ELEMENT role configuration.
