About this task
VMware vSphere vCenter Server should have the following minimum settings defined in a Nutanix environment. In this section,
we will outline the steps necessary to properly configure a VMware cluster for a Nutanix environment.
Register vSphere Server under Prism
With the release of AOS 5.0, you can now perform common vCenter Server operations directly from the Prism UI.
About this task
To register vCenter Server with Prism, perform the following operations from the Prism UI:
Steps
1. Navigate to Settings.
2. Select vCenter Registration.
3. Enter your vCenter Server credentials and click Register.
For further details, see the Prism Web Console Guide.
Configure VMware DRS settings
Configure DRS as fully automated, using a conservative policy. The implementation of a more aggressive policy can trigger more
frequent vMotion events, which in turn can have an adverse effect on data location.
Prerequisites
1. Disable automation on all CVMs.
2. Under vSphere Availability, disable or turn off Power Management.
