1 A cluster has a single identity; Starter and Pro cannot be applied to the same cluster. Unified Storage licenses are not needed if the storage is deployed on NCI-Pro/Ultimate Cluster.

In case of NCI-Starter Cluster deployment, customers need to purchase Unified Storage Pro license (https://www.nutanix.com/products/cloud-platform/software-options#nus).
