Cost Governance

Consumption billing and reports

Hey everyone,I’m wondering if there is a built-in tool in Nutanix for on-premises environment that allows tracking of resource consumption — something that can act like a virtual currency or internal billing system based on usage (e.g., vCPU, memory, storage). Ideally, we’re looking for a way to generate reports that show per-project or per-VM consumption over time. I’ve thought of Cost Governance, but I think it’s only for cloud setups and I’m not aware of all its capabilities.Does Nutanix offer anything natively for this, or is this something that would require integration with an external tool?Thanks in advance!

Why CVM can not use all LACP bandwidth

We have eight XC nodes installed, each one connected to two 100Gbps switches ( 200Gbps btw two switches) by using two 100Gbps MLNX CX-6 network adapters. AHV and switches configured with LACP (Active-Active). After installation, we ran bandwidth with iperf:AHV to AHV could reach to 188Gbps ( 1 port with 20 threads) CVM to CVM was very close to 90Gbps (The total BW always was about 88Gbps, even we used multiple ports with multiple threads)So CVM can only use the bandwidth of one port of lacp for traffic?

Issues creating 3 node cluster on bare metal

How to add 2 more tape drives to a tape library in Veeam

I currently have a Quantum Scalar i3 tape library with 4 drives. I need to add 2 more drives to the library in Veeam. We bought a new SAS card, and have not yet installed it into the tape server. When I do, and connect the 2 new drives to it, I am unclear as to what I will need to do in Veeam to get it to recognize that there are now 2 more drives in the library, so I can add them to the correct media pool. Will it automatically see them?
