Replication

Hello, I am seeking your assistance with enabling replication on my cluster, which consists of 5 servers and 60 VMs. I am undecided between Metro mode and Asynchronous mode on Prism Central. Given that I have two clusters using Metro-type replication, we encounter difficulties when Metro mode is activated, as clients experience significant slowdowns on their VMs. This is why I am considering enabling Asynchronous replication on Prism Central. My question is: if I activate Asynchronous replication on Prism Central while other clusters are using Metro mode, will this have any impact? Thank you for your help.

Nutanix User Group Champion Story with Drew PlasterBlog

Drew Plaster, Senior Network Systems Administrator at Moda Health recently wrote about his experience as a Nutanix User Group Champion and how it has benefitted his career. Here’s what Drew had to say about his experience being a NUG Champion for the Portland NUG Chapter: My work as a systems administrator means I’m constantly solving problems, and that’s the way I like it. I’ve always said my greatest strength is making disparate systems work together in the most efficient way possible. The biggest weapon I’ve acquired in this fight isn’t a security tool or solution. Instead, it’s having lifelines—access to intelligent, insightful peers I’ve met through my Nutanix User Group (NUG). I started working at Moda Health at the beginning of 2019, and my work on VDI became a top priority at the onset of the pandemic. I quickly moved our VDI onto a Nutanix cluster, which earned me the reputation of being the “go-to Nutanix guy.” I spent more time with the technology than anyone else on the te

Windows VM does not detect local vdisk

Hello Team. <issue summary>Windows server 2016 VM was restored after async DR to another cluster. If I check through Prism or CVM acli, the local vdisk looks normal in the list.However, some local vDisks are not recognized inside Windows OS.The disks are not identified in "Create and Format Hard Disk Partitions" at all.The weird thing is that other local vdisk looks normal.VG attached in DAS way looks normal vdisk.async DR was performed from AOS 5.20.5 to AOS 6.5.5.5. <Current Environment>- AOS 6.5.5.5- OS : Windows Server 2016 Standard- VirtIO : 1.2.3- vdisk bus : scsi If you restore it from the AS-IS cluster and check it, the local vdisk looks normal on the OS.In a TO-BE cluster, some local v disks are not recognized by the OS.Has anyone had a similar experience?If you have any, please tell me about the solution or cause. Thank you.

Normally there will be separate MAC pool for each FI /Fabric interconnect which will be used for server based on connection. For instance, server A has 2 NIC and 1Each connected to FIA and FIB. Both NIC cards will get MAC ID from deferent pool. In Foundation only one MAC pool can be used and that should be default MAC pool. do we have create 3 Mac pool default , MAC-A and MAC-B pool.
