QuestionQ1

Advanced Configuration and Troubleshooting

An administrator must expand an AHV-based cluster running on Nutanix G5 hardware by adding a new Nutanix G7 system. The cluster runs AOS 5.10, but the cluster-expansion operation fails. AOS is running on the new system, and node discovery succeeds without issues.

Why does the operation fail?

Explanation

A node added during cluster expansion must run an AOS version compatible with and matched to the existing cluster. An older AOS version on the G7 node is incompatible with the cluster running AOS 5.10 and prevents the expansion. Mixed G5 and G7 hardware is supported when the applicable hardware and software compatibility requirements are met; EVC applies to VMware vSphere rather than AHV.
