A consultant attempts to perform an LCM inventory after successfully creating the cluster, but is met with the following error:
LCM Exception [LcmExceptionHandler]: Could not find a module for entity with reference name nutanix.ncc.update
What is the most likely reason LCM inventory/update is failing?
The error encountered during the LCM inventory process, which mentions 'Could not find a module for entity with reference name nutanix.ncc.update,' typically indicates that the cluster has not yet been licensed. The Life Cycle Management (LCM) functionality in Nutanix systems requires a valid license to perform operations such as inventory checks and updates. Without this license, LCM cannot retrieve or update the necessary software modules, leading to the stated error. Licensing the cluster would resolve this issue and allow the LCM processes to proceed normally. Reference: Nutanix LCM Documentation, Nutanix Licensing Guidelines.
