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

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

Credential Username Password

Prism Central admin <Cluster Password>
Controller 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:
