Hi,
Thanks for your tuto !
However, when i do that, i obtain an error like : “Error in extracting tarball, could not extract the image”.
Have you any ideas ?
Thanks in advance,
Regards
I ran into the same issue and do not recall exactly how I resolved it. I believe my download was being corrupted. Try selecting the pc.2022.4.0.2 version if you have not already done so.
Are you installing PC on a three-node or single-node cluster? Are the disks all SSD or do you have some HDD’s mixed in? If you are using a three-node cluster are the nodes connected via 1Gbit or higher? Just curious.
Thanks for your reply.
I work on a three-node cluster with one SSD and three HDD for a server.
I have maybe found a solution. I’m currently try it.
I found the memory of my servers is to low. In fact, I have only 32Go. Of this 32Gb, Nutanix needs 20Gb for his system and the PC ask for 26Gb (small version). I do the installation on a new server with more capacities.
