Troubleshoot a Nutanix Multicloud Environment

An administrator is tasked with performing firmware upgrades across all Nutanix sites.

When trying to perform firmware upgrades through Life Cycle Manager (LCM) at a remote site that has a single-node cluster deployed, no firmware updates are shown as available. The administrator has confirmed that the installed firmware is several revisions behind.

Why does LCM list no firmware upgrades for this cluster?

  • A LCM does not have connectivity to the internet.
  • B LCM cannot perform firmware upgrades on single-node clusters.
  • C Single-node clusters only support one-click firmware upgrades.
  • D LCM is not supported on single-node clusters.
Explanation

LCM cannot perform hardware firmware upgrades on a single-node cluster because firmware updates require taking the only node out of service and there is no cluster redundancy for a rolling upgrade. LCM support is not categorically absent for single-node clusters; the restriction is specific to firmware upgrades.
