What are the two most important prerequisites to be validated before the consultant goes onsite?

Before going on-site to deploy a Nutanix cluster, the following prerequisites are crucial:

A. Complete the kickoff call and validate the BOM (Bill of Materials): This ensures that all necessary components are accounted for and any discrepancies or missing items are addressed prior to installation.

C. Validate whether the cluster questionnaire is complete and if the physical switch configurations are complete: Ensuring that all relevant customer and network information is obtained and validated is critical to avoid delays or issues during the physical installation and configuration of the cluster.
