Infoblox vNIOS for Nutanix™ AHV (Acropolis Hypervisor) is a virtual appliance designed for Nutanix AHV. The supported NIOS, Nutanix, and AHV versions are as follows:
NIOS Version | Nutanix AOS Version | Hypervisor |
---|---|---|
8.5.0 | 5.11 | AHV 20170830.270 |
8.5.1 and later | 5.15 LTS | AHV 20170830.395 |
8.5.4 and later | 5.20.3 LTS | AHV 20201105.2030 |
8.6.2 and later | 6.5.1.6 LTS | AHV 20220304.242 |
The virtual appliance enables you to deploy large, robust, manageable, and cost-effective Infoblox grids. For information about Infoblox grids, refer to the NIOS 8.5 online documentation. The NIOS virtual appliance for Nutanix functions as a hardware virtual machine guest on the Linux system. It provides integrated, secure, and easy-to-manage DNS (Domain Name System), DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), and IPAM (IP address management) services and also provides a framework for integrating all components of the modular Infoblox solution. Additionally, vNIOS also provides TFTP, HTTP, and FTP file transfer services.
In a Nutanix cluster, a node is a fundamental unit. Each node in the cluster runs a standard hypervisor such as AHV and contains processors, memory, and local storage (such as SSDs and hard disks). Nutanix nodes with AHV include a distributed VM management service that is responsible for storing VM configuration, making scheduling decisions, and exposing a management interface. You can control and manage the Nutanix nodes using a Nutanix web console called Prism. For detailed information about using Prism, see Prism Central Guide at https://portal.nutanix.com. The Prism Central Guide is also accessible from the help link in the Nutanix web console.
NIOS virtual appliances can be configured as an HA pair, a Grid Master, a Grid Master Candidate, or as a Grid member. From NIOS 8.6.x onwards, hybrid HA is supported. A hybrid HA pair can comprise a physical appliance and a virtual appliance, two physical appliances, or two virtual appliances. For more information on limitations of using HA pair combinations, see Limitations of Using a Combination of a Physical Appliance and a Virtual Appliance for HA.
