Infrastructure in a Nutshell

After the source cluster under VMware ESXi, we must now add the target cluster which run Nutanix AHV.

The process is similar to the one used previously for WMware ESXi and Microsoft Hyper-V clusters and I will start by adding an account dedicated to Move on my cluster.

Adding a Move service account

To add the service account dedicated to Nutanix Move on your Nutanix AHV cluster, connect to Prism Element then go to “Settings > Local User Management” and click on “New User”:

Fill in the fields with the necessary information and check the “Cluster Admin” role. Your service account is ready, now let’s add the Nutanix AHV cluster on Nutanix Move.

Adding the AHV cluster on Nutanix Move

In the “Environments” section of Nutanix Move, click on “+ Add Environment”:

Next, fill in the fields with the information corresponding to the Nutanix AHV cluster to which you want to migrate the VMs from the ESXi and Hyper-V clusters:

The required information is as follows:

  • 1 – Environment type, select Nutanix AHV
  • 2 – Name the added cluster
  • 3 – Enter the IP address of the cluster (Prism Element or Prism Central of your choice)
  • 4 – Enter the logins and password of the service account previously created

Wait for a few minutes and your cluster will then be available in NutanixMove :

Your source and destination clusters are now all configured on Nutanix Move, the next step will be to create the migration plans.
