Welcome to the Nutanix API Bootcamp! You will explore Prism Central v3 APIs and become familiar with using the API. You will walk through basic VM deployment and updating VMs.
Nutanix Workshops are intended to be run in the Nutanix Hosted POC environment. Your cluster will be provisioned with all necessary images, networks, and VMs required to complete the exercises.
Hosted POC clusters follow a standard naming convention:
If provisioned from the marketing pool:
For example:
Throughout the Workshop there are multiple instances where you will need to substitute XYZ with the correct octet for your subnet, for example:
| IP Address | Description |
|---|---|
| 10.21.XYZ.37 | Nutanix Cluster Virtual IP |
| 10.21.XYZ.39 | PC VM IP, Prism Central |
| 10.21.XYZ.40 | DC VM IP, NTNXLAB.local Domain Controller |
Each cluster is configured with 2 VLANs which can be used for VMs:
| Network Name | Address | VLAN | DHCP Scope |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | 10.21.XYZ.1/25 | 0 | 10.21.XYZ.50-10.21.XYZ.124 |
| Secondary | 10.21.XYZ.129/25 | XYZ1 | 10.21.XYZ.132-10.21.XYZ.253 |
Note
The <Cluster Password> is unique to each cluster and will be provided by the leader of the Workshop.
