4 Configuring Hypervisor
4.1 Setting up Windows host
Joining Hyper-V Hosts to the Active Directory Domain
If using Windows 2012 R2 with Hyper-V role as the hypervisor, the hosts must have already been joined to
the AD domain as part of the initial Nutanix cluster setup.
4.2 Hyper-V Virtual Switches and NICs
The Nutanix cluster setup process will create a network team using the 10 GB NICs. This team is
associated with a virtual switch named “ExternalSwitch” for all external traffic to the host and VMs. There is
also a virtual switch named “InternalSwitch” which is used only by the Nutanix controller VMs (CVMs).
Figure 8 Virtual Switches
This configuration is sufficient for VDI to function, but we recommend that additional virtual NICs be
created and associated with VLANs to segment the pertinent operations of the Management OS. For
example, failover cluster heartbeating and live migration.
