Nutanix Cluster Expansion and Node Removal

Two short videos show how to expand a Nutanix cluster and remove a node from a cluster.

  • Both workflows can be done from either Prism Central or Prism Element
  • For node additions, IPV6 broadcast being enabled allows auto discovery
  • If IPV6 broadcast is not enabled, then Host / CVM IP’s will have to be entered manually
  • For Node removal, do not enter maintenance mode first (node removal process does that)
    • If you have a node in maintenance mode, you must remove it from Maintenance mode before Node removal is allowed
