LCMで更新後、仮想マシン一覧にCVMが表示されない

3台でクラスターを構築しております。更新後からだと思うのですが、仮想マシン一覧に一部CVMが表示されなくなりました。また、ホームのメモリ使用率表示もおかしいです。何かご存じの方おられないでしょうか？

AHV Virtualization

Packer Windows 2022 Boot Loop

We are new to Nutanix coming over from vSphere and are experiencing the same issues that is discussed but not resolved on this thread:https://next.nutanix.com/ahv-virtualization-27/packer-press-any-key-to-boot-from-cd-dvd-issue-43213We are using Packer to build a Window 2022 image. We have customised the ISO to remove the "Press any key to boot..." prompt. However, we are now in a situation where Packer/AHV doesn't allow us to specify a boot order so the CD is constantly booting, installing and rebooting.We can continue the Packer build if we manually dismount the CD, however, we want to be in a position where this is a hands off build and orchestrated by a pipeline like our vSphere builds are.Has anyone managed to get around this?

update from AHV el8.nutanix.20230302.103003 to el8.nutanix.20230302.103014

has anyone else seen this issue? We have a Azure NC2 cluster (not in prd yet) and have been notified that we could face the following issueWe would like to inform you about a recently discovered issue where inconsistent CPU microcode configuration will affect the ability to live migrate VMs (internally tracked as ENG-723026). This arises when a Nutanix cluster is upgraded to AHV versions 20230302.103003, 20230302.102005, 10.0.0.1, or 10.0, followed by cluster expansion or node replacement. In such cases, live migration of newly created VMs will encounter issues. Our records show that your Nutanix Cloud Cluster is susceptible to this inconsistent CPU microcode configuration. For details on the action, you can take to remediate, please refer to this Knowledge Base Article. If you have any questions or require assistance, please feel free to open a support ticket. Anyway I planned on doing the upgrade to the fixed version in the AHV 20230302 track el8.nutanix.20230302.103014 with the

Volumes Block Storage

iSCSI Data Services IP Address - Can use different IP subnet than the CVM's subnet?

Hello Team,One of our customer have a requirement to use a different subnet for Nutanix Volume iSCSI IP address than the CVM IP subnet range. This is because he wants the iSCSI volume traffic not to flow via his firewall. So he intent to use IP subnet for iSCSI Volume same as the VM (iSCSI Initiator) range. Going by the documentation https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Volumes-Guide:vol-volumes-external-ip-address-c.html, it states: “This IP address should be in the same subnet as the cluster Controller VM IP eth0 network interface addresses”Is this a mandatory requirement? Thank you in advance!

slow performance with Citrix MCS

Hi, we have a new Nutanix Cluster with three nodes. Now we will move our citrix farm from VMware to Nutanix.But on Nutanix the VMs much slower as on VMware. We use publish desktops with Citrix MCS an Fslogix.Login with VMware takes 15 seconds with Nutanix more that 50 seconds.The Nutanix Hardware much better then on Vmware.So we don‘t understand why it is so much slower.Also we use the Best Practice Guide from Nutanix for Citrix MCS.so have anybody an idea, why Citrix is slower on Nutanix and what we can do to speed up the system?

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!
