Unable to Complete Next Authentication for Nutanix Community Edition

I have installed Nutanix Community Edition but cannot complete the Next authentication. I have configured the IP of the CVM and the external IP of the cluster. The CVM can resolve the name of www.nutanix.com. I can log in to my.nutanix.com, portal.nutanix.com, and next.nutanix.com. However, when I enter my email address and click "Get Started" at the following URL, I receive the message below and cannot proceed: "It seems your My Nutanix account is not activated, please go to my.nutanix.com to complete the process" https://www.nutanix.com/products/community-edition/register I have already created an account and can log in freely. Is there anything additional I need to do?

How to increase the sinze of Prism Central?

In this single-node hardware environment (24C/384GB/4x800GB) I have installed Nutanix CE 2.1 which work fine. I then wanted to test Prism Central and deployed it in size x-small which turned out to be too small (could not do all fun stuff). How do I increase it to size small instaead? I tried to just add the extra cpus and memory to match the size of small, but that was not enough, it still said that it was x-small. Then I tried to remove PC to create a new larger one, but it wasn’t as easy as I thought. The VM wasn’t possible to delete without deregister but the deregister was blocked but a objects-lite database which wasn’t possible to remove! It just referred to KB-17159 which literally only said “Contact Nutanix support”… But this is CE and I’m just a partner playing around without support… Any procedure for size upgrade of Prism Central? (I searched in the portal but failed)

The Choc-Chip of Data Access: Proven Path vs. Chasing Consistency for Prism Central's ‘Objects Lite’ Service

My grandmother used to make the best chocolate chip cookies, her recipe was unbeatable! I’d love to leave the story there, but one not-so-fine day she thought she’d try a different recipe, just to mix things up. What was she thinking! The new cookies tasted nowhere near as good as her original recipe. Ok, she could’ve spent hours upon hours in the kitchen refining the new recipe, experimenting with ingredients and so on, but what would be the point? She already had a tried-and-tested recipe for choc chip cookies that everyone loves, chocoholic visitors knew exactly what they were getting… so, why change? Fortunately in the end she saw it that way too - the new recipe was ditched and the original one was back in the oven, much to everyone’s delight. So why am I talking about chocolate chip cookies? Well, because a similar scenario arose here at Nutanix not so long ago, but this time the subject wasn’t cookies, but APIs for storage access. Tasty. At Nutanix we’ve spent a lot of time and

Category on PCVM

It seems to be the case that no category and value can be applied to the PCVMs. Is that true and if so, will that be altered in the future? If not this causes some unexpected challenge. Thank you

Datadog Integrations for a Seamless VMware to Nutanix MigrationBlog

This post was authored by Logan Rholoff - Observability Lead - RapDev, Jesse Eddy - Regional Observability Sales Director - RapDev and Aditya Kammula - Alliances Programs Manager - Nutanix Migrating from VMware to Nutanix presents an exciting opportunity for organizations looking to enhance their infrastructure efficiency and scalability. Ensuring smooth operations during this transition is crucial and leveraging the right monitoring tools can make all of the difference. Datadog’s VMware integrations, and RapDev’s Nutanix integration for Datadog, provide real-time visibility into both environments, making the migration process smoother by offering key insights at every stage—before, during, and after the migration. Understanding the Integrations Datadog’s VMware Integration: This tool provides in-depth visibility into VMware vSphere environments. By installing the Datadog Agent on a VM connected to vCenter Server, you can monitor metrics across ESXi hosts, clusters, datastores, and VMs

Volume Group resilience

We have a couple of VG’s with 20’ish disks in each, on our 4 node AHV (AOS 6.10.1) cluster. 1 VG is shared with 2 SQL boxes in prd and the other with 2 SQL boxes in our pre environment. I was patching the environment today with a BIOS update so the hosts needed to be restarted for the update to apply, I had a report from our DBA that they lost connection to the shared disks from the SQL boxes. What is the expect behavior for VGs with shared disks when a host is unavailable due to a planned or unplanned outage?

Supported upgrade Broadcom VMWare on HPE

Nutanix Compatibility matrix shows that they support the next version of VMWare but there is no 1-click upgrade. I am running on HPE machines and we have been burned in the past where if we use an “off the shelf” ESXi .iso from VMWare it breaks the linkages from VMWare to Nutanix. We can only use an HPE branded (drivers included) VMWare .iso so that the Nutanix tools (vsan and VAAI) work. Broadcom has taken over VMWare they do not supply HPE branded .iso for upgrades according to the Broadcom case I opened. Nutanix does not supply upgrade paths for VMWare according to the Nutanix case I opened. HPE does not integrate with Broadcom anymore according to the HPE case I opened. How do you upgrade your VMWare deployment on a Nutanix linked Prism Central without a full rebuild?
