Why? I constantly get low space errors for /home

Hi AllIf the system can recognise that the space is low, why can it not be programmed to do its own housekeeping and clean up? I find it irritating and time consuming doing something that should be automated. Or am I missing something? Has someone already created a script or process to fix this? Thanks in advanceEric

Nutanix Kubernetes Engine

Disaster recovery for Nutanix Kubernetes Environment

We have a Nutanix nke environment and would like to activate protected domains so that in the event of a disaster we can move the PD across to our DR site. Currently I have not seen any documentation or a way to configure this. Does anyone know how we can “replicate” our NKE clusters to a DR location in an easy and simple way. My thought is to take the underlying virtual machines and just put them into a PD. However, it does not seem as simple as this. Any guidance would be apricated. We have been receiving conflicting advice from Nutanix technical support. To the point where it does not seem possible and therefore makes NKE not viable to enterprise deployment.

Complete newbie not sure how to get to the config screen

Hi all the expert,I’m completely new to Nutanix.I tried to install the Nutanix Community Edition onto my existing rack mounted HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 server, so I followed this YouTube video, but it’s definitely outdated, since the links shown on the video are different to the download links available from the post from 3 years ago (created on 29th September 2020) So I have downloaded the installer ISO (version ce/2023.03.01/phoenix-ce2.0-fraser-6.5.2-stable-fnd-5.3.4-x86_64.iso) and nothing else, since the other download links are for Windows, but my purpose is to install Nutanix itself onto the host directly to replace ESXi completely, so I thought the VirtIO for Windows ISO and AHV Plugin (.msi files) are not really applicable in my case.So it get stuck at the getting files screen for a long time, and then it errored out as the screenshot at the bottom, then a root login line showed up, I can’t even get to the grey screen to select the hypervisor and configure the IP like on the Ge

Adding Storage and Nodes

I have expanded the existing block by adding two 1065-G8 nodes, each equipped with three HDDs and two SSDs. However, the new nodes, along with the HDDs and SSDs, are not being recognized, and there appears to be no power supplied to them. I am currently seeking Nutanix documentation on hardware installation but have not found relevant information yet. any idea?

Active Directory field mapping in Prism Central

Hi all,I’ve enabled AD authentication on Prism element and Prism Central. All is working, but I saw a little artefact.When I connect with my AD user, the name written in the right top of the screen is the concatenation of two AD fields : Display Name and Last Name. So, It shows my first name and twice my last name (display name field is already the conactenation of first name and last names fields).Is this the same thing for you ? I didn’t see any settings option for AD fields mapping (as for OpenLDAP)thanks !

Storage and cloud queries

Hi Team, I need clarifications on the below two points. If there is a requirement to create storage container capacity usable space as 1TB, which means is to create 2TB as the advertised capacity in Rf2 based container? If I create 100GB disk in RF2 container, the unique data is only 50 GB ? What are the on-prem requirements to build NC2 on azure ?

AHV Virtualization

How do I inject Virtio drivers that are compatible with Oracle Linux and AHV?

Hey everyone, I have an ova which is designed for VMWare. The OVA is 2.7 GB in size and is Oracle Linux 9.3.When trying to deploy the OVA in Nutanix PC, it fails and doesn’t work. I’ve been researching and it seems that the vmdks inside the OVA need to be injected with the Virtio drivers that are compatible with AHV. I want to mention that I have used Nutanix Move to migrate a Virtual Machine from VMWare to Nutanix. The problem is that I need to redistribute these images and Nutanix Move creates images that are 120GB combined (which is the disk sizes but not the vmdk sizes, obviously). Any help will be much appreciated.
