This guide explains how to isolate management machines to improve security.
A Nutanix cluster contains two different types of management machines after delivery:
- VM, 1 CVM per node plus Prism Central
- Physical servers (nodes)
To increase the security of management machines, it is recommended to isolate them from the production environment.
Requirements
- A Nutanix cluster in your OVHcloud account
Instructions
Step 1
Connect to the Prism Central Web interface.
Go to Network & Security and open Subnets.
Step 2
In this example, VLAN 0 is associated with the "base" subnet on the "vs0" virtual switch.
To isolate the management network, you can use a new subnet in VLAN 1 for example.
To do this, click on Create Subnet.
Enter a name for your network, then select a VLAN ID, cluster, and the "vs0" virtual switch.
Then click Save.
