Unofficial DPTPB Nutanix Dynamic Visio Shapes: NX-1120S-G7 & Minor updates

Nutanix has released a new NX platform, NX-1120S-G7 a while ago. I’ve been waiting for Nutanix to update their official Visio stencils, but Nutanix seems to have lost interest in maintaining their official Visio stencil set.

So I decided to make my own NX-1120S-G7 Visio shape. As there were no original “donor” Visio shapes to be used as a base for the new shapes, I had to “eyeball” the new shapes, so they might not be 100% accurate, but are good enough…

While I was at it, I also made some minor updates to existing shapes, like new supported disk sizes / combinations, new 100GbE NICs and new GPU options.

Unofficial DPTPB Nutanix Dynamic Visio Shapes: NX-3155G-G7 & NX-3155G-G6

More in depth notes regarding NX-3155G-G7 & NX-3155G-G6 Dynamic Visio shapes.

While NX-3155G-G7/G6 front-view shapes are as easy to use any other dynamic shapes, mixing NICs and GPUs with NX-3155G-7 and NX-3155G-G6 rear view shapes has added some complexity.

You might save some headaches by checking this documentation before trying the NX-3155G-G7 and NX-3155G-G6 rear-view shapes, if you opt to NOT to use automated placement of NICs/GPUs and decide to place them manually. Even more so than with NX-3170-G6.

In dynamic / automatic mode NX-3155G-Gx rear view shapes are as easy to use as any other dynamic shape and should not cause any headaches.
