Just a quick blog post to let you know that Prism Central 2021.8 version was just released and can be downloaded via the Nutanix Portal.
The PC 2021.7 release which i wrote about here brought a lot of features to the table and one of the most valuable (i think) was the AHV SyncRep & Auto restart applications after cluster failure – Witness/Recovery Plan integration
The focus with 2021.8 is to make license management easier which is really good since license management can be cumbersome from time to time……..
In short the new license management feature lets you use different license types (Ultimate, Pro, Starter/Unlicensed) for different Nutanix clusters (Prism Element). See information about what feature is included in which license type here.
In addition you can define amount of data to collect per Nutanix cluster and select metering type per Nutanix cluster.
As usual check Nutanix Software End Of Life document on a regular basis to keep you up to date.
