Before setting up a NIOS virtual appliance as a Grid master or Grid member, you must install the virtual appliance on the Nutanix AHV platform. The instructions in this section assume that you have configured the Nutanix AHV server on your network, and you are able to connect to it from your management station. For information about configuring Nutanix AHV, see the Infoblox recommends that you back up your existing configuration before deploying a NIOS virtual appliance.
