Nutanix CE installation fails

I am attempting to Install CE on a HPE Proliant DL380Gen10 server with 128GB RAM, two Xeon 4116 cpus, one 480 SSD, and four 600Gb HDD’s I created a USB install drive using Rufus and the newest version of CE. I get all of the way through setting up the drives and networking and the process appears to be going well until the part way through the ‘Hypervisor installation in progress’, then fails with Mount /dev/None does not exist message.

upgarde AOS only without upgrading the esxi

Hello Experts,It is possible to update the cluster to a version of AOS that supports ESXi 6.7 U3. However, we do not have a license for ESXi 7 or 8.We must upgrade and deploy the PC. The current version is 5.20.3.5. After reviewing the compatibility matrix on the Nutanix portal, I discovered that this version of AOS 6.5.3.7 is compatible with ESXI 6.7 U2 and U3. did any one tested that before ?and i would like to deploy PC,PS : this cluster has esxi 6.7 u3 as hypervisor

Problem with kernel 6.1.0-25-amd64 with Nutanix

Hello.I detected a problem using the latest kernel 6.1.0.-25-amd64 with all my VMs under Nutanix. I recently upgraded all my Debian servers from version 12.6 to 12.7: in version 12.6 the linux kernel in use was 6.1.0-23-amd64 and in version 12.7 is 6.1.0-25-amd64. The issue is related with the download speed using this kernel in all my upgraded VM’s. It’s extremely slow. So after 2 days trying to figure out what was happening (installing debian 12.7 in a new VM same problem....installing in VirtualBox no problem at all), so I decided to rollback to the old kernel, maintaining the Debian version 12.7 (with kernel 6.1.0-23-amd64) and the problem stopped. I’m using the following system, see picture: Here are some speed tests: Debian version 12.6:wget https://proof.ovh.net/files/100Mb.dat--2024-09-05 01:26:12-- https://proof.ovh.net/files/100Mb.datResolviendo proof.ovh.net (proof.ovh.net)... 141.95.207.211, 2001:41d0:242:d300::Conectando con proof.ovh.net (proof.ovh.net)[141.95.207.211]:4

Storage Policy によるRF設定について

お世話になります。AOS 6.6以降でストレージポリシーによるRF設定が仮想マシン単位で可能になった認識なのですが、このストレージポリシーの動作と推奨について教えていただきたいです。質問①ストレージポリシーによるRF設定は仮想マシンが配置されるストレージコンテナのRF設定を上書きする形になりますか？それともポリシーに準じたストレージコンテナに自動配置されるような動作でしょうか？たとえば、RF3のストレージコンテナが1つだけ存在している環境で、ストレージポリシーによってRF2の仮想マシンを作成可能でしょうか？質問②①にて、ストレージコンテナのRF設定をポリシーで上書き可能である場合、ストレージコンテナを複数作成する必要性はないでしょうか？それともベストプラクティスとしてはストレージポリシーによる管理が可能になった最新バージョンにおいても、用途ごとにストレージコンテナを複数作成する方が良いのでしょうか？

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.
