## Summary of Nutanix extension classes

TheCMDB CI Class Modelsapp from the ServiceNow Store enhances your Configuration Management Database (CMDB) by adding or updating classes specific to Nutanix infrastructure.
These classes extend the existing CMDB class hierarchy, enabling applications like Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns to accurately identify and populate Nutanix configuration items (CIs).
Show full answer Show less  
This extension supports detailed modeling of Nutanix components such as clusters, nodes, storage pools, and virtual machines, reflecting your Nutanix Enterprise Cloud platform within the ServiceNow CMDB.

## Key Features

* **New Nutanix-specific classes:** Includes classes like Nutanix Prism Central, Nutanix Cluster, Nutanix Controller VM, Storage Container, Storage Pool, Host, and Virtual Machine Instance.
* **Class extensions:** Each Nutanix class extends relevant base CMDB classes such as `cmdbcivmobject`, `cmdbciappl`, `cmdbcistoragevolume`, and others, ensuring compatibility and integration with the existing CMDB model.
* **Detailed attributes:** Classes include identification rules, descriptions, and where applicable, dependent relationships for comprehensive CI modeling.
* **Versioned releases:** Classes and their attributes have been incrementally added and updated through several releases (1.1.4 through 1.6.0), reflecting ongoing enhancements.
* **Class columns:** Key Nutanix classes have detailed columns added such as cluster serial numbers, UUIDs, subnet information, hypervisor types, memory sizes, power states, compression and deduplication settings, replication factors, and more.

## Practical Application for ServiceNow Customers

By installing and using the CMDB CI Class Models app with Nutanix extensions, your organization can:

* Accurately represent Nutanix infrastructure components in your CMDB with native class support.
* Leverage automated Discovery and Service Mapping to populate Nutanix-related CIs, improving visibility and management of your virtualized environments.
* Enhance impact analysis and change management by including Nutanix resources and their relationships within the CMDB.
* Ensure alignment with Nutanix Enterprise Cloud platform architecture, facilitating better operational insights and governance.

## Key Outcomes

* Comprehensive Nutanix infrastructure modeling integrated into the ServiceNow CMDB.
* Improved discovery accuracy and CI lifecycle management for Nutanix environments.
* Ability to track detailed Nutanix cluster and virtual machine attributes for advanced reporting and operational intelligence.
* Support for ongoing updates and enhancements through ServiceNow Store app releases, ensuring up-to-date Nutanix CI coverage.  
The CMDB CI Class Models app adds or updates classes for Nutanix.
CMDB CI Class Models is a ServiceNow Store app that adds class models that extend the CMDB class hierarchy. The new or updated classes include 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.

See the release notes for all CMDB CI class models.

## Nutanix Enterprise Cloud platform {#cmdb-ci-class-models-nutanix__section_lqv_snv_phb}

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 {#cmdb-ci-class-models-nutanix__section_evf_m4v_phb}
