This workbook accompanies an instructor-led session that introduces Nutanix technologies and many common management tasks. Each section has a lesson and an exercise to give you hands-on practice. The instructor explains the exercises and answers any additional questions that you may have. 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. What's New ++++++++++ - Workshop updated for the following software versions: - AOS & PC 5.8.1 - Optional Lab Updates: - Calm - Flow Agenda ++++++ - Introductions - Nutanix Technology Overview - Nutanix Configuration Labs - Deploying and Managing Workloads - Monitoring and Managing the Environment Introductions +++++++++++++ - Name - Familiarity with Nutanix Initial Setup +++++++++++++ - Take note of the *Passwords* being used. - Log into your virtual desktops (connection info below) 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** - POC\ *XYZ* - **Subnet** - 10.**21**.\ *XYZ*\ .0 - **Cluster IP** - 10.**21**.\ *XYZ*\ .37 If provisioned from the marketing pool: - **Cluster Name** - MKT\ *XYZ* - **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: .. list-table:: :widths: 25 75 :header-rows: 1 * - 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: .. list-table:: :widths: 25 25 10 40 :header-rows: 1 * - 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 ........... .. note:: The ** is unique to each cluster and will be provided by the leader of the Workshop. .. list-table:: :widths: 25 35 40 :header-rows: 1 * - Credential - Username - Password * - Prism Element - admin - ** * - Prism Central - admin - ** * - Controller VM - nutanix - ** * - Prism Central VM - nutanix - ** 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: .. list-table:: :widths: 25 35 40 :header-rows: 1 * - Group - Username(s) - Password * - Administrators - Administrator - nutanix/4u * - SSP Admins - adminuser01-adminuser25 - nutanix/4u * - SSP Developers - devuser01-devuser25 - nutanix/4u * - SSP Power Users - poweruser01-poweruser25 - nutanix/4u * - SSP Basic Users - basicuser01-basicuser25 - nutanix/4u Access Instructions +++++++++++++++++++ The Nutanix Hosted POC environment can be accessed a number of different ways: Citrix XenDesktop ................. https://citrixready.nutanix.com - *Accessible via the Citrix Receiver client or HTML5* **Nutanix Employees** - Use your NUTANIXDC credentials **Non-Employees** - **Username:** POCxxx-User01 (up to POCxxx-User20), **Password:** ** Employee Pulse Secure VPN .......................... https://sslvpn.nutanix.com - Use your CORP credentials Non-Employee Pulse Secure VPN .............................. https://lab-vpn.nutanix.com - **Username:** POCxxx-User01 (up to POCxxx-User20), **Password:** ** Under **Client Application Sessions**, click **Start** to the right of **Pulse Secure** to download the client.
