The CMDB CI Class Models store app adds or updates classes for Nutanix.

The CMDB CI Class Models app adds class models that extend the CMDB class hierarchy, including class descriptions, identification rules, identifier entries, and, if applicable, dependent relationships. You can use the added classes just like any other CMDB class. Applications such as Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns can use the class extensions to populate CIs and discover technologies and software.

Nutanix Enterprise Cloud platform

The Nutanix Enterprise Cloud platform is a converged, scale-out compute and storage system that hosts and stores virtual machines. All nodes in a Nutanix cluster share the management of cluster resources. The foundational unit for the cluster is a Nutanix node which runs a standard hypervisor and contains processors, memory, and local storage (SSDs and hard disks). A Nutanix Controller virtual machine runs on each node, enabling the pooling of local storage from all nodes in the cluster.

Classes

This section lists the classes that the CMDB CI Class Models store app adds or updates. See the class columns table for further details about the columns added for each class.

CMDB CI Class Models: Release 1.6.0 adds the following classes for Nutanix. For the list of classes in the base system, including classes that this app might extend, see CMDB tables descriptions.
