Alternatives to AWS for Async DR

I’m currently backing up to AWS with AWS set up as Async DR site. However, the price that AWS is charging has dramatically gone up. Are there any alternatives to AWS? I don’t need to run any VMs on the remote site, just a remote site to store my snap shots and the ability to restore easily. Thanks!

LCM Dark Site issues on Windows server

I have installed IIS on Windows servers, performed LCM framework in 2 phases for version 2.7 and after that was able to set LCM to use Dark site and to point to my IIS web server http;//MyIP/release. That allowed my to run inventory. However I can’t update any other component. I have downloaded LCM packages for AOS, foundation, FLOW, etc extracted with proper WinZip version or embedded tar. Have correct folders structure as per LCM Dark Site guide, but still LCM do not see any component for upgrade. What else I can do?And for sure for example my AOS and AHV requires update. Permissions checked, MIME types checked. CVMs and PC can talk to web server. Compatibility bundle has been extracted and copied to root folder /release. Don’t know what else might be the problem. Most likely something silly. Please help. And just FYI, direct upload to PE is not an option for me. I have many clusters in DarkSite and need to use web server as a repository.

Removing failed node Error: Cannot mark node for removal. Node xx (xx.xx.xx.xx) is to be added back to metadata store

So I was wondering what Akbor actually did here. In the reply he says he just, “This is now resolved, I used edit-zeus to set state.”Is there a set of instructions or some sort of helpful advice for what he meant by edit-zeus? I tried poking around but it seemed pretty dangerous for a linux noob like myself LoL Thanks for any help you can give, Brian Removing failed node 2 months ago 1 reply 52 views Hi everyone,We had an issue with SATADOM on of the nodes, which has been replaced. Unfortunately, we had to rebuild the CVM as well as they hypervisor and now need to add the rebuilt node back to the cluster. The problem is we can’t remove the existing node as we are getting the following error:Error: Cannot mark node for removal. Node xx (xx.xx.xx.xx) is to be added back to metadata storeDoes anyone know how we can overcome this error?P.S. we don’t have Nutanix support coverage anymore.Many thanks in advance.Akbor

Nutanix CE Add Storage only node

Is this a possible option? I currently have a single node (MS-01) running nutanix CE and would like to add storage to expand Files. Is it possible to bring in additional hardware in nutanix CE for a storage only node?

Why does the Files Console prompt for credentials in demo.nutanix.com?

Tried getting there from “Files” link in main demo.nutanix.com portal, or from the “Files Console” link underneath Files. This doesn’t affect Files Analytics or Data Lens, except any links that take you to the Files Console will prompt.The admin creds provided don't work.
