A consultant is installing Nutanix AOS on Cisco UCS.

When installing Nutanix AOS on Cisco UCS hardware platforms, the recommended method is to use the Foundation VM. This approach allows for the deployment of Nutanix software onto bare metal hardware from a virtual machine that can manage the installation process across multiple nodes simultaneously. The Foundation VM simplifies the installation and initial configuration process, ensuring that all nodes are correctly configured and integrated into the Nutanix ecosystem.References: Nutanix Bible, Nutanix University
