Nutanix CE 5.6
I have been running Nutanix CE at home for quite a while now and the new version has just dropped so I had to try it out. I decided to destroy the current ( Single Node ) Cluster that I was running and start again. This was for a few reasons but primarily I wanted to introduce disk redundancy and add some extra drives. I was previously running this on a Dell T20 with 1x Sandisk 240GB SSD and 1x WD Red 3TB drive. So I added another WD Red and SSD. I have also moved over to using an old Intel 80Gb SSD as the boot volume (rather than a USB stick)
I decided to stck with the orginal installer method and copyied the new build onto the SSD
sudo dd if=/Users/username/Desktop/Temp/ce-2018.05.01-stable.img of=/dev/disk3 bs=1m
Then run the installer and choose not to build a cluster. I then needed to revoke the previous SSH keys for the Host and the CVM ( as i had used the same address’s)
I then SSH’d into the CVM and create the single node cluster but with disk redundancy
cluster -s CVMIP –redundancy_factor=2 create
