During the Foundation imaging process, nodes are successfully imaged, but the cluster creation fails.

During the Nutanix Foundation process, if imaging succeeds but cluster creation fails, the foundation.out log is the primary resource for investigating issues related to cluster creation. This log file contains detailed information about the steps undertaken by the Foundation process, including any errors or issues encountered during the cluster creation phase, making it invaluable for diagnosing problems that prevent successful cluster configuration.
