AHV Virtualization

Can I create affinity rules for VMs in an AHV cluster?

I’m fairly new to AHV and Prism. We’ve been running Nutanix for a few years but our hosts are running ESXi. We’re setting up a new cluster with AHV and we’re planning to migrate everything there. One issue we have is that some hosts have the NVIDIA GPU card in them. In Vmware, I have affinity rules so that the VMs that use the GPU will only run on the hosts that have the GPU card. Can I do the same thing with AHV? Going through KB articles, I get mixed messages. One KB article flat out says that it’s not supported.

Did Nutanix API authentication use NTLM v1?

Dears: Currently, I found a problem when using Prometheus to monitor Nutanix Objects according to https://prism IP:9440/oss/api/nutanix/metrics. This works fine for a long time.But when our AD team disable NTLM v1 in domain controller, problem happened, Prometheus could not work as before to get the data from API.Current Prometheus config is like below:- job_name: 'object_exporter_bucketname’ metrics_path: /oss/api/nutanix/metrics/[object store name]/[bucket name] scheme: https scrape_interval: 90s static_configs: - targets: ［https://Prism Central IP:9440］ tls_config: insecure_skip_verify: true basic_auth: username: ［Prism Central service account］ password: ［Password of service account］ Anyone know if NTLM v1 is used during API authentication?

Need information on older versions of Nutanix

Hello,I wanted to know what is the oldest version of Nutanix that supports Linux kernel version 3.5. Also, if there is any way that I could get an iso installer for that version so that I can review, that would be extremely helpful. I’m trying to determine what version of a particular software will work with Nutanix and that software supports Linux kernal verison 3.5 and greater. Thanks in advance for the help!Matt White

All licenses reset before clean re-allocation on two production clusters

Hi Guys,Can anyone confirm that it is possible to unlicense one or two NX clusters that are in production in order to re-allocate the same licenses but smarter?Explanation: We have 2 clusters with 3 AOS Pro licenses sets (Cores + FLASH)Set1: first 3 nodes of cluster1 (2019, renewed 2022)Set2: first 3 nodes of cluster2 (2021, renewed 2024)Set3: 2 more nodes, one for each cluster (2022)We should then have set1 allocated for cluster1, set2 for cluster2 and set3 split between the 2 clusters but currently each set is used partially in cluster1 and 2 which is a mess for next licenses renewal…So my target would be to reclaim all the licenses for both clusters and then reallocate them, cleaner, through seamless licencing. Is that scenario possible without stopping the exploitation? Thanks for your advice and guidance.

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

Amending the subnet of multiple VMs using Powershell or API

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to amend the subnet associated to the NIC of multiple VMs via Powershell or API. Reading the documentation on PowerShell it appears this is maybe not possible without deleting the NIC and adding it. When attempting this via the API I am getting incorret uuid errors even though they are copied straight from the NIC.Many thanks,R
