Infrastructure in a Nutshell

In this article, I share my complete feedback on the complete reinstallation of a Nutanix cluster at OVHcloud.

WARNING

Redeploying the cluster will completely reset its configuration and all data present on it will be permanently erased.

Once logged in to the OVHcloud management interface, go to “Hosted Private Cloud”:

Hosted Private Cloud tab in the OVHcloud manager

In the left drop-down menu, click on the cluster you want to redeploy:

Selecting the Nutanix cluster in the OVHcloud manager

On the page that appears, click on “Redeploy my cluster”: 

Redeploy my cluster link in the OVHcloud manager

Click on “Continuer” :

Warning before redeploying the cluster

Automatic redeployment

The first option is to revert to the default settings provided by OVHcloud to completely reinstall the cluster in its basic configuration:

Redeploying with the initial configuration

A summary of the settings is displayed before you finally confirm the reinstallation of your cluster:

Custom redeployment

You can fully customize your cluster’s IP network configuration during its installation phase. When choosing the cluster deployment method, select “Customize configuration” and click “Next”:

Choosing the custom configuration

Fill in the various fields with the information you want to assign to your cluster and click on “Redeploy”:

Node IP addressing strategy

RF2 replication factor and Erasure Coding

Prism Central, VIP, VLAN and gateway settings

Type “REDEPLOY” in the field provided and click “Confirm” to start the reinstallation procedure:

Confirming the redeployment by typing REDEPLOY

On your cluster’s overview page, a message indicates that cluster redeployment is in progress: 

Message showing the cluster redeployment in progress

All that’s left is to wait until the cluster is completely redeployed. All the basic configurations are already done, you just have to finalize the specific ones such as authentication, SMTP relay, monitoring, etc.
