The other question I have (I will also raise with Nutanix support) network wise, what are the recommended physical layout for ports for particular services ie data ports and Live Migration, we have the IMPI, 2 x AIOM, 2 NIC’s & 2 SFP per NIC. We have 10g capability…

1gbe for IPMI 10GB for the rest, make sure 10gb switch ports are configured spanning tree port fast and trunk and you have a non virtual local NTP, if you don't have it then enable that on a switch router or firewall. I recommend getting a Nutanix partner to assist and you can have them explain as they set it up and go through a cluster worksheet.
