• The hypervisor is the Nutanix cluster, identified by the cluster name or the virtual IP address for the cluster.

  Be prepared to enter Prism administrator user credentials.

   • Hostname / IP address: Provide a fully qualified hostname or IP address for the hypervisor.

   • Username and Password: Enter the user credentials to provide administrative access to the hypervisor.
