Getting Started

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

At the end of the bootcamp, attendees should understand the basic 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:

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

Credentials

Note

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

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:
