Reset Lab Users had been an option within RX for reservation owners to use when they had issues with their end users accessing the Parallels, Frame, and Ivanti solutions used to access the HPOC environment. These lab users could also access the Shared Move Source environment or utilize ESXi with certain Nutanix products (NDB and Calm).
The Reset Lab Users button only syncs the credentials with your reservation password if the automation failed to do so during refoundation and deployments to new reservations.
An issue within the automation resetting the user passwords at the start of each reservation has been identified and corrected. Resetting lab users is no longer necessary and is only a precautionary measure for administrators. You will no longer see this button inside your reservations.
Getting Customers and Partners into the HPOC Environment
Customers and Partners must use these Lab Users to access the HPOC Environment through Parallels, Frame, or Ivanti. Typically, in an HPOC demo:
Single-node clusters receive 5 lab user credentials to log into VDI/VPN.
Multi-node clusters may receive up to 20 user credentials.
Note: Lab users (ex., PHX-POC###-User##@nutanixdc.local) should only be used to access the Shared Move Source and log into the VPN/VDI solutions, not clusters.
Once your customer or partner successfully logs into the VPN/VDI solutions, they can access the cluster with the same admin user ID and reservation password.
Nutanix Employees Accessing the HPOC
Nutanix employees on the corporate VPN can access their reserved cluster without logging into the HPOC VDI/VPN solutions. However, you may use your nutanixdc.local account to log into Paralles, Ivanti, or Frame when not on the corporate VPN. Once successfully logged in, open a browser to access the cluster using the admin user ID and reservation password.
What do you do when you encounter VPN/VDI issues?
