PowerShell deployment to Nutanix AHV

This section describes the required steps to prepare your platform for deploying Omnissa Unified Access Gateway to Nutanix AHV.

Pre-requisites to deploy Unified Access Gateway on Nutanix AHV

Recommended Operating Systems for running the PowerShell deployment script

The following table lists the operating systems from which PowerShell based Unified Access Gateway deployment to Nutanix AHV can be executed. This does not refer to the operating system of the Unified Access Gateway appliance itself.

Operating System Recommended OS Version
Windows 10 and 11
Ubuntu 20.04, 22.04, 24.04

Prepare your platform for the PowerShell deployment

  1. Open the Powershell window and install the following package.

    Install-Package 7Zip4PowerShell

  2. Ensure that the subnets and clusters are already created on Prism Central. For more information, see Creating a Subnet and Create a cluster.

Minimum Supported Nutanix Software Versions

  • Prism Central (PC): 2024.3
  • AOS: 7.0
  • AHV: 10.0

Step 1. Upload the UAG vmdk image to Prism Central

  1. Download the Unified Access Gateway (UAG) for vSphere, AWS, Google Cloud and Nutanix file from Omnissa Customer Connect portal.
    A zip file euc-unified-access-gateway-x.x.x.xxxxxxxxx.ova is downloaded on your local machine.

  2. Extract the .vmdk image from the .ova file.

    WindowsUbuntu
    expand-7zip ova-filename target-location

    For example, euc-unified-access-gateway-x.y.0.0-12345678_OVF10.ova is the downloaded file, where x-y is the version number and 12345678 is the build number.

    To extract the .vmdk file to C:\uag, run:
    expand-7zip C:\uag\euc-unified-access-gateway-x.y.0.0-12345678_OVF10.ova
    tar -xvf ova-filename

    For example:
    tar -xvf euc-unified-access-gateway-x.y.0.0-12345678_OVF10.ova
  3. Login to Prism Central and upload the .vmdk image file. For more information, see Add an image.

    Add UAG image to Nutanix

Step 2. Prepare the .ini file

To prepare the .ini file, configure the General settings and create a new section for [Nutanix] and include the parameters mentioned in the following table.

For more information about configuring [General] section parameters, see PowerShell deployment parameters.

    uagdeployntnx.ps1

  3. Open PowerShell window and run the following command:
    .\uagdeployntnx.ps1 Nutanix.ini

4. Enter the root user password, admin password, and Prism Central password when prompted. For more information about the root user and admin password requirements, see Password requirements.
After successful deployment, virtual machine is created on Prism Central.
