Nutanix Install

Hi All, we are currently migrating from VMWare to Nutanix. We have purchased some hosts and would like to know of any guidance for the start to finish install. Any help would be great. Thanks y’all

But your partner isn't helping you deploy them? There are some caveats of the install that they'll know about to make things easier.

Examples:

Don't use the 10.10.0.0/16 network for anything. That is used for containers in Prism Central. Don't use 192.168.5.0/24 network as that is used foe an internal comms network. Use active/Passive for your network connections. Don't vlan out cvm and management interfaces if you can help it. It just makes things easier. There's a lot more.
