Explanation

For LCM (Life Cycle Manager) to function in connected (non-dark-site) mode, Controller VMs require outbound HTTPS access to two specific Nutanix endpoints: (1) release-api.nutanix.com - the LCM metadata/catalog API that LCM queries during inventory to discover what updates are available; and (2) download.nutanix.com - the content delivery server from which LCM actually downloads the software update packages. The URL mynutanix.com is a Nutanix customer portal for licensing and account management, not used by LCM for updates. portal.nutanix.com is the support portal website and is also not an LCM download endpoint.
