Hello,

If I remember well, I used an older version of the foundation VM and it worked well.

“In this example, only two nodes are discovered instead of three, I don’t know why ”

I have the same issue , not be able to discover all the nodes ( 17 nodes ) , i have only discovered 3 nodes ? Do you know why ?

Thank you in advance ..

Nutanix uses IPv6 to discover nodes. Be sure to install Apple Bonjour and to disable your AV. Otherwise you’ll have to enter the IPMI MAC addresses manually.

Moreover, CVM now use 32 GB memory by default. This is a recommended setting.

And finally, I advice you to use a 1 GB switch when imaging the nodes, especially if you have at least 4 nodes. Why ? Because using a 100Mb switch, the iso upload will be so long that Foundation will throw you a timeout error 🙂
