Getting Started

Welcome to the Nutanix Enterprise Private Cloud Bootcamp! This workbook accompanies an instructor-led session that introduces Nutanix Core technologies and many common management tasks.

You will explore Prism Central and become familiar with its features and navigation. You will use Prism to perform basic cluster administration tasks, including storage and networking. You will also walk through basic VM deployment and management tasks with Prism and AHV. Finally, you will explore VM data protection, including snapshots and replication. The instructor explains the exercises and answers any additional questions that you may have.

At the end of the bootcamp, attendees should understand the Core concepts and technologies that make up the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud stack and should be well prepared for a hosted or onsite proof-of-concept (POC) engagement.

Environment Details

Nutanix Workshops are intended to be run in the Nutanix Hosted POC environment. Your cluster will be provisioned with all necessary images, networks, and VMs required to complete the exercises.

Networking

Hosted POC clusters follow a standard naming convention:

  • Cluster Name - POCXYZ
  • Subnet - 10.**21**.XYZ.0
  • Cluster IP - 10.**21**.XYZ.37

If provisioned from the marketing pool:

  • Cluster Name - MKTXYZ
  • Subnet - 10.**20**.XYZ.0
  • Cluster IP - 10.**20**.XYZ.37

For example:

  • Cluster Name - POC055
  • Subnet - 10.21.55.0
  • Cluster IP - 10.21.55.37

Throughout the Workshop there are multiple instances where you will need to substitute XYZ with the correct octet for your subnet, for example:

IP Address Description
10.21.XYZ.37 Nutanix Cluster Virtual IP
10.21.XYZ.39 PC VM IP, Prism Central
10.21.XYZ.40 DC VM IP, NTNXLAB.local Domain Controller

Each cluster is configured with 2 VLANs which can be used for VMs:

Network Name Address VLAN DHCP Scope
Primary 10.21.XYZ.1/25 0 10.21.XYZ.50-10.21.XYZ.124
Secondary 10.21.XYZ.129/25 XYZ1 10.21.XYZ.132-10.21.XYZ.253

Credentials

Note

The <Cluster Password> is unique to each cluster and will be provided by the leader of the Workshop.

Credential Username Password
Prism Element admin <Cluster Password>
Prism Central admin <Cluster Password>
Controller VM nutanix <Cluster Password>
Prism Central VM nutanix <Cluster Password>

Each cluster has a dedicated domain controller VM, DC, responsible for providing AD services for the NTNXLAB.local domain. The domain is populated with the following Users and Groups:

Group Username(s) Password
Administrators Administrator nutanix/4u
SSP Admins adminuser01-adminuser25 nutanix/4u
SSP Developers devuser01-devuser25 nutanix/4u
SSP Consumers consumer01-consumer25 nutanix/4u
SSP Operators operator01-operator25 nutanix/4u
SSP Custom custom01-custom25 nutanix/4u
Bootcamp Users user01-user25 nutanix/4u
