Prerequisites to configure Nutanix AHV cluster

Prerequisite:

Configure iSCSI data services IP on the Nutanix AHV cluster

  1. To use Use segmented iSCSI data service IP or Use specified segmented iSCSI data services IP option, AHV cluster must be configured with segmented iSCSI network interface with volumes(ABS) feature.
  2. If you plan to choose option Use iSCSI data services IP while configuring the cluster, Nutanix recommends, data services IP for iSCSI must be configured on Nutanix AHV.

    Go to the Nutanix AHV cluster Prism console at https://Nutanix cluster FQDN/IP:9440.

    Click Settings > Cluster details > Set iSCSI data services IP.

    Note:

    If this setting is not configured:

    For Windows backup host, backup-restore jobs fail.

    For Linux backup host, jobs fall back to use NFS provided the segmented iSCSI data services IP configuration is correctly done.

    The failure of the backup-restore job for windows backup hosts is displayed as failure in Activity monitor > Job details. The fallback from iSCSI to NFS in case of Linux backup hosts is mentioned as a warning in the job details.
