Nutanix NCM-MCI-5.15 Question Answer

An administrator needs to expand a cluster based on AHV and running on Nutanix G5 hardware with a new Nutanix G7 system. The cluster is running AOS 5.10 but the operation fails when expanding the cluster. AOS is running on the new system. There are no issues discovering the node.

Why is the operation failing?

AOS version running on G7 is older than the version on the cluster.

Foundation software has not been updated on the cluster.

G7 hardware cannot be added to a G5 cluster.

EVC needs to be configured before cluster expansion
