What is happening?
For any deployments in RX on AOS 6.8 or greater, you will need to select a compatible AHV version in order for your deployment to complete successfully.
AOS Version | AHV Version |
6.8 | AHV 20230302.100173 |
Why is this happening?
From AOS 6.8, Nutanix is no longer bundling the recommended AHV ISO version in the AOS installer file (ENG-436754). This is primarily to save space in the /home directory and keep the AOS ISO file size within a single DVD.
RX leveraged the Bundled AHV image to make it simpler for our users to pick a compatible AHV version without the overhead in the application of mapping compatible AHV versions to AOS versions. Based on our data, we know that users quickly gravitated towards this as Bundled AHV accounts for over 95% of our AHV deployments.
Solution
Make sure you select AHV 20230302.100173 for any workload using AOS 6.8.
💁 You may have to click the Switch to Classic Config button to see the option to choose AOS 6.8.
The RX development team is working on a longer term solution that will make it just as easy as choosing Bundled AHV today OR to pick AOS 6.8 in our Custom Workloads deployment option to ensure you are deploying a compatible AHV version regardless of what version of AOS you choose.
