Nutanix: Could Not Reach Next Server

Could Not Reach Next Server KB ID 0001865

Problem

Nutanix is very flaky! On a new (single host  cluster,) post setup whilst attempting to login to Prism for the first time, it wanted to link to my Nutanix account.

Unknown host, could not reach NEXT server. Please configure name server

Solution : Could Not Reach Next Server

Why do I say it’s flaky, well I defined a DNS server when I created the cluster.

However, If I fired up SSH and connected into the CVM and queried the DNS servers for the cluster, ncli cluster get-name-servers, the list was blank? I created a new entry with ncli cluster add-to-name-servers servers=192.168.100.10 (then retested to make sure).

Problem solved.
