Installing a cluster on Nutanix

In {product-title} version {product-version}, you can install a cluster on your Nutanix instance with two methods:

Using the {ai-full} hosted at console.redhat.com. This method requires no setup for the installer, and is ideal for connected environments like Nutanix. Installing with the {ai-full} also provides integration with Nutanix, enabling autoscaling. See Installing an on-premise cluster using the {ai-full} for additional details.
Using installer-provisioned infrastructure. Use the procedures in the following sections to use installer-provisioned infrastructure. Installer-provisioned infrastructure is ideal for installing in environments with air-gapped/restricted networks.

Prerequisites

You have reviewed details about the {product-title} installation and update processes.
If you use a firewall, you have configured it to grant access to the sites that {product-title} requires. This includes the use of Telemetry.
If your Nutanix environment is using the default self-signed SSL certificate, replace it with a certificate that is signed by a CA. The installation program requires a valid CA-signed certificate to access to the Prism Central API. For more information about replacing the self-signed certificate, see the Nutanix AOS Security Guide.

Important

Use 2048-bit certificates. The installation fails if you use 4096-bit certificates with Prism Central 2022.x.
