AHV Virtualization

Nutanix supports an Prism Central upgrade path from current version N to target N+2 in most cases.

Hi there We are running pc.2023.4.0.2 and because we would like to upgrade to AOS 6.8.1, we need to first upgrade the Prism Central to pc.2024.x. However, upgrading from pc.2023.4.0.2 to any pc.2024.x at the moment, it’s not supported. As of today, the latest PC Version is 2024.1.0.2. I do understand the upgrade N to N+2, but when it comes to PC, i don’t know what N+2 means relative to pc.2023.4.0.2.Considering that AOS 6.5 is going EOM in Oct 2024, we are a little afraid that we’ll not be able to upgrade our AOS’es 6.5.x to AOS 6.8 in time, because PC 2024.x is a prerequisite for AOS 6.8. What to expect here, and how to proceed? Best regards,Casian

Support for IPV6 based VM deployment

Hi TeamDoes Nutanix support IPV6 based VM deployments. Currently I am using Prism Central V3 API for deploying VM https://www.nutanix.dev/api_reference/apis/prism_v3.html#tag/vms/paths/~1vms/postIn the payload section it is mentioned that IPV4 support is only available now. If we want to do IPV6 based deployment, is there a workaround for that? Please share the document reference if IPV6 based VM deployment is not possible. If a workaround is there, please let me know how to do this. ThanksAkash
