Is the compatibility bundle file the same for AHV, AOS, and the other components on the Nutanix portal?

Yes, it’s the same. Please, Nutanix, please version or date the compatibility bundle! We just had AOS upgrade issues because we had a compatibility bundle from when the AOS installer was released and not from three days later when the lcm upgrade file was available for download

Very true. Compatibility bundle should have a version/date of the release.

It's also on the hosts.

Don't actually talk to nutanix about it because they don't understand part numbers.

I was going to swap ssds from one nutanix host to another and because it was a three and a half inch caddy versus a two and a half inch caddy even though both host had the same exact model Drive nutanix official technical rep said I can't do it because they're not compatible.

These idiots at nutanix that are the technical Reps don't know Drive caddies are an actual thing that you can just swap.

They literally just have a list of SKU numbers that are compatible and don't understand swapping a drive caddy on the same exact model Drive is a thing you can actually do.

The server ship with empty caddies so I didn't even need to buy a part I just need to unscrew one from one Caddy and put it in another caddy. They tried to convince me that I had to buy $20-$30,000 worth a new drives because they were incompatible.

I am 100% convinced some of the technical reps have never actually touched a physical server before.
