After deployment, (you can see how to Foundation VM will have a DHCP IP address. If you have DHCP in the network, no need to change anything. If you do not, the first thing after foundation deployment is to set the IP address on the Nutanix Foundation VM.
When foundation VM is reachable from the network, you can connect to the Web UI by typing http://<VM_IP_ADDRESS>:8000/gui/index.html
and start providing Nutanix cluster details like IP addresses. hostnames.
Hi Artur, regarding the setting of the IP address of the Foundation VM, will it be a IP address in the CVM and Hypervisor VLAN segment?
