Hi,I have two Nutanix clusters on different sites (one on each site) a few miles apart with 10GB low latency networking in place.I have setup a two node failover SQL Server cluster for HA on a single site, but I would like to add DR to the solution.I know Availability groups (and other options) are a good solution for this, but we can’t implement those at present and so I am looking for the ‘correct’ way to replicate the two node HA that we have (With it’s shared storage) across to the second site so that our front-end application will continue to function in the event of a site failure.Any tips or pointers would be very much appreciated!Thanks
Hi,We have two locations and want to install Two-nodes-Cluster in the production location and One-node-cluster in the Disaster Location and to replicate these clusters each other. My question is:Can we connect two-nodes directly with 10 Gbit DAC SFP+ cables each others? So, Is physical switch necessary to install two-nodes-cluster? We want to use Direct Connection (via DAC Cables) for RF2 data replication between two-nodes and 2 x 1/10 Gbit Base-T port will be using for VMs connection and replication VMs to one-node-cluster in the DR site. Is this scenario possible? What about fail-back scenario? (back from DR to Production)Notes:We have 3 x NX1175S G8 Nodes We want to use AHV or ESXiThanks.
As title, Does AOS 6.x support Fault-Tolerance on ESXi 7.x ?If positive, does it support more than 4 FVTM in an ESXi 7 host ? I had read https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.avail.doc/GUID-57929CF0-DA9B-407A-BF2E-E7B72708D825.html . Can I change parameters to support more than 4 FTVMs in an ESXi host?
Hi, One of my employees deleted 2 VMs with the name like xxxxxxxxxxxB1234 and xxxxxxxxxxxxxB1235 and at the same time xxxxxxxxxxxxxT1234 and xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxT1235 were deleted. (Logs show that he deleted them like less than a minute later) He claims that he did not touch those two. Is it possible that two VMs can be corelated somehow and deleting one triggers deletion of another one? One was bench and one was test. The only difference in name was one letter.
Hi all, I’m wondering if someone can help me out with the first install of a nutanix CE single cluster with esxiThe installation went fine but, and followed this link to make it work. https://vmik.net/2021/01/26/nutanix-ce-install-esxi-2021/I see that only have 1 disk in the storagepool. Is there a way to add a disk into the CVM? or do I have to mount it first. can someone help me out? many thanks.
Hi there guys!We’ve recently upgraded our cluster from 5.15.3 to 5.15.6 because of a bug with Acropolis Sevice. After the upgrade, we are running into a weird issue with our Citrix Environment.Right now we are using CVAD 7.15 CU2 and AOS 5.15.6 with Windows 7 MCS pool of 1000 VMs with UPMWhen a user disconnects from a session (hitting disconnect or the red X sqare button) director shows the session Active instead of Disconnected and the curious thing is that it reports to be a Console sessionAfter playing around upgrading a test platform to 1912 CU3 and VirtIO drivers to the latest version, we’ve found the same issue. Also repeated the tests with Nutanix CE version 20190916 with the same results.At this point we ran out of ideas an decided to create an ESX cluster in lab, and guess what? it works fine. Disconnected sessions are showing up as they should.We suspect that can be related to AHV because of the test. Also we have a case opened with Nutanix and afterwards we will open a Citri
