7.1 Adding your Xpress cluster to vCenter
Go to the Nutanix Portal and download the Nutanix vSphere Administration Guide for Acropolis (using
vSphere Web Client) to add you Xpress cluster to vCenter.
Note: The installable version of ESXi is installed in evaluation mode. Make sure that you license your
hypervisor using your VMware documentation within the trial period.
7.2 Running virtual machines on the default container
Congratulations! You have now completed creating a cluster. A default storage pool is already created for you
and presents the storage to all the hosts on the same subnet. You also have the option to create your own
containers. See the Nutanix Web Console Guide for information on how to manage your cluster. To view your
default storage pool and host presentation, do the following:
1. In Nutanix Prism, click Home.
2. In the drop-down menu, select Storage.
