7.2 Running virtual machines on the Nutanix Distributed File System
storage container only
A default storage pool container is already created for you and by default presents the storage to all the hosts
on the same subnet. You also have the option to create your own containers. See Nutanix Administrators
guide for details. 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.
3. On the Diagram tab, under Summary, you can view your storage pools and created container.
Warning: Run virtual machines on the Nutanix Distributed Files Systems only.
Important: When adding or redeploying a Hyper-V node to the cluster, ensure that the virtual hard disks and
virtual machines locations are configured in Hyper-V Manager so that they are directed to the Nutanix
Cluster Container location. VMs run on the SATADOM(C:\) are not highly available and potentially fill up the
local boot drive, which results in crashing the host hypervisor. This adds additional wear on the
SATADOM(C:\).
7.2.1 Cluster administration
Prism is the user interface used to monitor the health of a cluster, VMs, performance, alerts, and events.
Prism provides a range of status-check features.
