Quick Tip: Setting Up Cluster Name and Virtual IP on the Nutanix CE Cluster

Setting Up Cluster Name and Virtual IP on the Nutanix CE cluster is a quick tip about changing these important parameters of a Nutanix cluster.

After deploying a Nutanix CE cluster, we recommend setting up a cluster name and virtual IP. Both are straightforward tasks, as we can describe below.

Set Up the Cluster Name

1- Select and access by SSH one CVM of the cluster (only one CVM);

2- Type the following command to set up the cluster name (replace “cluster_name” with your cluster name):

ncli cluster edit-params new-name=cluster_name

Set Up the Cluster Virtual IP

This is the IP that will be used to access the Prism Element interface:

1- Select and access by SSH one CVM of the cluster (only one CVM);

2- Type the following command to set up the cluster Virtual IP (replace “cluster_ip_address” with your IP address):

ncli cluster set-external-ip-address external-ip-address=cluster_ip_address

That’s it 🙂
