Is Network Controller supported on Community Editon 2.1?

Hello, just finished installing a new CE 2.1 cluster to experiment a bit, and a new Prism Central. Trying to enable Network Controller, but it says my cluster is not supported. Is this not a feature supported by CE? Or would I have to use a different Prism Central version?

Community Edition, can't reach CVM's when trying to segment backplane LAN

Hi! I’m trying to segment, the backplane LAN on an already existing cluster, it passes the validation, but then I get this error when it gets to about 45% Anyone know what i’m doing wrong?I’m following this documentation Link My CVM’s use 10.10.10.11,21,31 And AHV use 10.10.10.10,20,30 Trying to get the backplane to use a 10.10.11.0/24 on a different physical switch. All ports are VLAN tagged with VLAN11 just like the This is the error I get When looking in the Foundation logs, they fail to ping eachother, but I don’t know what the issue there could be, they are using the correct IP’s and the interfaces are up on both sides.

Can Foundation create clusters in VMware Workstation?

In my struggle to find some environment to practice/test Nutanix admin stuff, I’ve now come to Nutanix Foundation (NCE 2.0 worked but is old, NCE 2.1 failed on some networking issue in my environment). Is it possible to create a small single node cluster running as a VM in VMware Workstation using for example Foundation? I made a few tries but it seemed Foundation required IPMI access to the host, but VMs in VMware don’t have IPMI (to my knowledge). It thought maybe a new VM could be recognized by Foundation (tried both the Windows version and the VM) if it had booted DiscoveryOS, but I couldn’t find the Discovery OS image anywhere… Is there a way forward for an installation like this or is it a dead end?

VM resolution stuck at 1280x1024 after MOVE from ESXi to AHV

We are starting to migrate from ESXi to AHV, using the MOVE application. And as the title says, all the VMs are stuck on 1280x1024 resolution when they come up on AHV. I’ve tried the “Preferred Resolution” change mentioned here Display resolution in Windows Server 2016 (AHV-VM) stuck to 1280x1024 | Nutanix Community I change the Preferred resolution from “<Unset>” to “1920x1080”, but as soon as I exit and boot into Windows, it goes back to 1280x1024 and won’t change. Some posts mention not having Guest Tools installed before the MOVE, but that made no difference for us. I’m stuck at the same resolution, regardless of whether Guest Tools was installed prior to MOVE or not. Nor does the method of access - launch console or RDP, the VM resolution is hard coded to this annoyingly small (by 21st century standards) resolution. And all my VMs are UEFI, which is pretty much the default. And obviously that can’t be changed, without deleting the whole VM. Is there any workaround or resolution (s

Updating tools results in hanging at uefi upon reboot. Has to be power cycled to then boot to Windows Server

SCSI disk 100gb, 16gb mem, Server 2016 standard desktop experience, dual xeon icelake Likely other configurations, as this has happened with multiple VMs, still collecting data, but wanted to get something started in case others have experience with this. My first thought is obviously some uefi configuration with boot order or something, but doesn’t really make sense, since it only *seems to happen* right after tool updates. *updated as it’s not like we reboot often, maybe it will happen without updating as well.

Storage tiering for QLC SSDs

I am considering building a cluster that will use a mix of TLC and QLC NVMe SSDs. I assume that Nutanix will put all of these drives into the SSD-PCIe storage tier and every disk will be a member of the same tier. Since QLC SSDs have lower performance and lower write endurance than their TLC, MLC, and SLC counterparts, it would be advantageous to use storage tiering to encourage cold data to reside on the QLC media and hotter data to reside on the more performant drives. Is there a supported method for this in non-community edition clusters? It would be relatively straightforward to manually change the tier-name for the QLC drives to SSD-SATA, but is that a supported practice?
