# How to Change the vRack of a Nutanix Cluster

A Nutanix cluster is delivered with its own vRack. To interconnect with other OVHcloud services, you can attach your cluster to a different vRack.

**This guide explains how to add a Nutanix cluster to another vRack.**

## Requirements

- A Nutanix cluster in your OVHcloud account
- An additional [vRack](https://us.ovhcloud.com/network/vrack/) service activated in your account
- Access to the [OVHcloud Control Panel](https://manager.us.ovhcloud.com/#/hub)

## Instructions

### Step 1: Removing services

Log in to the [OVHcloud Control Panel](https://manager.us.ovhcloud.com/#/hub).

Open the Nutanix cluster vRack configuration page, select all the services (e.g. dedicated server, IP, load balancer), and click on `Remove`.

**Warning:**

**NOTE:** Before removing services, make sure to save their references, especially if you have many servers, IPs, load balancers, etc.

**Warning:**

**NOTE:** Removing services from the vRack is not immediately effective. Please allow some time for the process to complete.

 

### Step 2: Adding services

Once the process is finished, go to the desired vRack and add all the previously removed services with the `Add` button.

**Warning:**

**NOTE:** Adding services to the vRack is not immediately effective. Please allow some time for the process to complete.

**Warning:**

**NOTE:** Accessing Prism Central is not instantaneous; the VM must restart to make the access effective again.

 

### Troubleshooting

If Prism Central stays inaccessible after 30 minutes, create a front-end on the load balancer to reach a CVM with SSH.

When logged in, check if the Prism Central VM is on.

```
acli vm.get prism-central |grep state
```

If the answer is `state: "kOff"` then start the VM:

```
acli vm.on prism-central
```

You can also restart the VM with the following command:

```
acli vm.guest_reboot
```

Alternatively, do a hard reboot (if the previous attempts failed):

```
acli vm.reset
```
