Publication number: 20240069952Abstract: A plurality of different virtualization system images are configured for deployment to a plurality of nodes in heterogeneous environments. Individual ones of the virtualization system images are configured such that once deployed, the nodes form a computer cluster having a storage pool that is shared across the nodes. When configuring the virtualization system images, information that describes the heterogeneous computing environments is accessed, and constraints pertaining the heterogeneous computing environments are reconciled in advance of configuring the different virtualization system images. A common subnet across the heterogeneous environments is established. The plurality of different virtualization system images are configured to access the common subnet once deployed. The common subnet serves as a storage I/O communication path over which a cluster-wide storage pool is implemented.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Applicant: Nutanix, Inc.Inventors: Joshua John BERRY, Mohan MATURI, Shlomo Shlomi VAKNIN, Aman NIJHAWAN, Anil Kumar KUSHWAH, Avi BHANDARI, Jan Ralf Alexander OLDERDISSEN

Publication number: 20230362245Abstract: A cluster configuration request to form a hyperconverged computing infrastructure (HCI) cluster in a cloud computing environment is processed. Based on the cluster configuration request and any other cluster specifications, a plurality of bare metal computing nodes of the cloud computing environment are configured to operate as an HCI cluster. First, a tenant-specific secure network overlay is formed on a first set of tenant-specific networking hardware resources. Then, the tenant-specific secure network overlay is used by an orchestrator to provision a second set of tenant-specific networking hardware resources. The second set of tenant-specific networking hardware resources are configured to interconnect node-local storage devices into a shared storage pool having a contiguous address space. Top-of-rack switches are configured to form a network overlay on the first set of tenant-specific networking hardware resources.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2023Publication date: November 9, 2023Applicant: Nutanix, Inc.Inventors: Aman NIJHAWAN, Anil Kumar KUSHWAH, Avi BHANDARI, Jan Ralf Alexander OLDERDISSEN

Patent number: 10972350Abstract: Examples described herein include imaging servers which may support asynchronous imaging of one or more computers (e.g., computing nodes). The imaging server may use out-of-band communication to install requested images on one or more computing nodes. The imaging server may support multiple concurrent installation sessions, and may maintain a log specific to each session. This may facilitate session-specific status reporting. In this manner, operating systems, hypervisors, or other software may be installed on computing nodes.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2017Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Assignee: Nutanix, Inc.Inventors: Toms Varghese, Jaspal Singh Dhillon, Raghu Rapole, Avi Bhandari
