CML on Nutanix CE

Requirements:
Install CML from ISO
  • Upload install and refplat ISOs to datastore. Go to Settings and Image Configuration. Select correct storage container (Images in our case) and other details and click Save.
  • Wait until upload task is completed.
  • Go to Settings/VM and click 'Create VM'. Fill name of VM, select number of vCPUs, cores, memory.
  • Switch BIOS Configuration to UEFI. If you need secure boot, switch cdrom from IDE to SATA.
  • Update cdrom settings and insert CML iso there:
  • Add new disk, select correct storage container (VMs in our case)
  • Add also at least one NIC
  • Save VM, open ssh connection to CVM and enable nested virtualization on CML VM:

  • Power on VM and launch VM console. Proceed with CML setup. Insert refplat ISO to cdrom when needed.
Installing CML from OVA:

In Nutanix CE, there is no option how to import OVA, you need Prism central from paid version. There should be OVA import feature in GUI - more info is here: https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/kbs/details?targetId=kA03200000099TXCAY

In Nutanix CE, untar OVA file and upload vmdk disk into image storage container. When creating VM, just use 'Clone from Image Service'. Everything else is same as when installing from ISO.
