Create vm from Template using Powershell

I’m somewhat disappointed in the product, , trying to create a VM from a template using Powershell.

Cohesity Backup

Hello All,We have a Nutanix POC and I am playing around with the permissions. I am trying to create a role/category for our Cohesity backup. What entities are needed for the role. I assume cluster and VMs, but I am getting “Requested entity doesn’t exist” when trying to add the Nutanix source to Cohesity. It works fine when I add the source with a Prism Admin account. Can anyone point me to the proper permissions needed. TIA TJ

New install (bare metal r820) of CE (Phoenix 6.8.1) Can't select virtual disk for CVM

Hi all, new to Nutanix here likely for the same reason a million other folk are trying it out. I’ve managed to find the download (though not exactly straight forward) for Phoenix 6.8.1 CE and am attempting to first time install on an r820 with 5 enterprise ssd sas in front bay. I’ve split the first off into it’s own virtual drive at full capacity (300something gb) for H install. The second and third off into their own individual virtual drives for CVM1 and CVM2. Then the last two combined into one virtual drive for D. I am able to select the virtual drives for H and D however the CVMS tell me it can’t be selected because the drives must be SSD which they are. Drives are fine and the virtual disks are recognized just not allowed to be selected. Any insight is greatly appreciated I’d love to test Nutanix out but documentation has been all over and even downloading (from a link in a seemingly random forum post) my confidence is a bit waned.

One Click Prism Central Deployment is Failing because of timeout

Hi TeamI am trying to setup Prism Central in Nutanix CE. I have configured the required details in Prism Console for deploying prism central. My deployment is failing repeatedly and getting the error saying it’s failed in tarball extraction phase. I have tried multiple times and every time I saw the issue in UI. I went through the /home/nutanix/data/logs/genesis.out logs to get more details on the issue. I found something interesting there. When we start the Prism central deployment, it first tried to download the prism central tarball and unzip it. One it’s unzipped then it’s start to convert the qcow2 file to image. when it start to convert the qcow2 → image , the command is configured with a timeout of 1800 sec. Please have a look into the below log line. 2024-07-01 08:55:17,702Z INFO 25030000 uvm.py:1606 Running cmd ['/usr/bin/timeout', '1800', '/usr/local/nutanix/bin/qemu-img', 'convert', '-p', '-f', 'qcow2', '-O', 'raw', u'nfs://127.0.0.1/default-container-40804253832490/pc.2022.

No compatible versions for deployment - Prism Central

From prism Central Element, I am trying to deploy Prism Central. When I go for create new Prism central through Prism Central Element GUI, it did not list out available versions. Instead, it just shows “No compactible versions for Deployment”. Following is what I have. I am using nutanix hardware.Version 6.8.1 - COMMUNITY LicenseNCC Version: 5.0.1LCM Version: 3.0.1.1 Not sure, how I can deploy prism central If I do not have binary. If I uncheck the option “Only show compatible versions”, it lists out following public version.pc.2023.4.0.2pc.2022.6.0.10pc.2022.6.0.11pc.2022.6.0.12 In that case, I had deployed pc.2023.4.0.2 but i never able to get GUI. I suspect the compatibility issue.Any help would be appreciated.

AHV Virtualization

How do I limit user permissions to only allow reboot of VMs?

We’re migrating from Vmware to AHV in parts of our environment. In Vmware, our helpdesk has permissions to reboot virtual desktops. Our desktops are all in one folder and their rights are limited to “View”, “Console” and “Change power state”. How can I do this in Nutanix Element? It doesn’t look like I can create folders. And it looks like my options are pretty much administrator or view only. Am I missing something?

3ノード構成におけるノード障害時のリビルドのメリットは？

お世話になります。NutanixはvSANと異なり、3ノード構成の場合でもノード障害時にリビルドが走る動作になっていますが、Redundancy Factor＝２であるため、追加の障害には耐えられない理解です。そのため、Nutanixの3ノード構成におけるリビルドの意味は、データ冗長性の復活ではなく、データローカリティの復活による性能改善の意味合いのみとなりますか？可用性面でも優位に働くのかを気にしております。
