About cluster external IP address

Hi All,My customer has a scenario where they initially set up Nutanix in a hardware management lan, which is controlled by a firewall. Now they have a need to connect the backup server on the other end of the firewall, without opening the firewall, can we set the external IP to be bound to the network permitted by the firewall, so that the backup server can connect to the external IP? I don't know if there will be any problems.

All Flash クラスタでのOplogの意味は？

有識者の皆様 Oplogに関しての質問です。OplogはWrite Bufferとしての役割と理解しております。しかしながら、All Flash（すべてのSSDが同サイズ、同耐久、同速度、同インターフェース）の場合、OplogにWriteをしたとしても、性能面・耐久面ではメリットがなく、直接Extent StoreにWriteした方が良いように思います。すべて同一のSSDで構成されるクラスタの場合、Oplogはどのような役割になりますか？もしくは、同一SSDのみのクラスタでOplogは意味がない、ということであればキャッシュSSDとキャパシティSSDの2層にした方が効率が良いでしょうか？

Cache Deduplicationはなくなったのでしょうか？

有識者の皆様細かいことが気になってしまい、ご教示いただけると幸いです。AOSの重複排除はCache DeduplicationとCapacity Deduplicationの2つがある理解だったのですが、GUIの設定（Storage Container → Advanced Settings ）では、Capacity Deduplicationの項目しかなくなっています。（AOS6.10）古いドキュメントなどを見るとCache Deduplicationの項目もあったようなのですが、Cache Deduplicationは機能として無くなったのでしょうか？

re-open of topic "Stretch 3-Node Cluster Across 3 Locations"

Due to recurring discussions with customers, here again the question about the technical background. why can't I split Nutanix nodes in a cluster across 3 locations (these are less meters apart)? ESXi can do that, other virtualization solutions too (MS HV, PVE).I'm interested in a technical explanation, that it's not supported, I know, but why?In fact can we build stretched Clusters across Locations (No geolocations)? Thanks in advance

What's the Nutanix Dashboard Version of VMware Aria Operations (works like Aria)

Am trying to create dashboard portal for our Monitoring Video wall. One page showing what’s going on Nutanix without logging in to the Prism Central infrastructure dashboard. Just like VMware Aria Operation works.

Node Stuck in Removal Process

Long story short we are swapping over to newer Nutanix chassis and replacing a few nodes. The previous tech had issues imaging the new chassis. However, in the prism hardware tab, the chassis is present (i think the previous tech was able to get it added somehow despite previous issues). I was able to go through foundation and get the new chassis nodes imaged and ready to be added back to the cluster, but the information remains in Prism and we cannot remove it. The new nodes show up when we select the expand cluster option, but the information (host ips, etc.) matches what is already in Prism, so it cannot be added. We are using a 5.x AOS and cannot upgrade.We need a way to forcibly remove the stale information regarding the nodes that is still present in the cluster. So far we have tried the following with support and are hoping someone has possibly seen something like this before. We tried removing the nodes through Prism, but the 1st node we tried to remove is showing the meta data

Unable to compelte Nutanix installation | KVM not loaded into kernel

Attempting to install Nutanix CE on home build system for home lab. Running into issues finishing the installation. When the installer attempts to create a virtual machine it’s unable to find the KVM kernel module and it doesn’t look like qemu-kvm is actually preinstalled on the ISO. After the installation fails and kicks me into a fallback TTY I attempt to load the KVM module with no success due to it not being installed. After installing qemu-kvm I’m unable to get back into the installer to finish the installation. Seems like an oversight in the latest ISO? Any assistance on this would be greatly appreciated. Attempting to install on bare metal.

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.
