- NetApp Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure (HCI)
- VMware Elastic Sky X Integrated (ESXi)
Description
- Always add compute nodes using NetApp Deployment Engine (NDE) or Scale
- If for some reason the NDE/Scale can not proceed with ESXi installation, such as within a VMware vCenter 8.0 environment, use the Option 2 steps outlined in the procedure below as NetApp Deployment Engine (NDE) is not supported in VMware vCenter v8.0.x.
