Hello All, A problem I've come across recently is that 2 nodes in a cluster do not show a bios version in the inventory nor do they recognize that there is an available update for their bios. While another node that is the same hardware does. I’ve follow KB 10833 a bit but i was hesitant to do a reset to default the ipmi just yet. Has anyone faced something similar?     

I have a test 3-node Nutanix cluster. Just starting to learn. They are NX G9s. Each node has 4x25GB ports, but during installation only 2 were configured. Is it possible, or even best practice, to islolate the storage traffic from the VM traffic? Ie, maybe configure the unused 2 ports as another vSwtich and run the distributed fabric over that? If so, even possible to do this after install? Apologies for any misunderstandings.

Hi,This topic has already been discussed several times but no solutions applied (reconnecting, importing the module, prefixing the cmdlets ...).I’ve setup an isolated environment with PowerShell 7.5.4 and the Nutanix Powershell Module 2.1.1.I can connect to Prism Central but any Get-* command will end up with the error :“Object reference not set to an instance of an object”I cannot find a way to get the cmdlets to work.Any idea ?Best regards

The Challenge: Security Doesn't Travel Well Picture this scenario: You've meticulously crafted security policies protecting your critical three-tier application. Everything is perfectly segmented—web tier locked down, app tier secured, database tier isolated. Then disaster strikes, or you need to perform planned maintenance. You initiate a live migration or failover to your disaster recovery site.Your application arrives safely at the destination. But what about your security?In many environments, security policies don't automatically follow workloads. Security teams are left scrambling to manually recreate policies at the destination, or they rely on custom scripts that must be re-run before each failover event. Even with scripts, there's no real-time verification that VMs remain protected during and after migration.A misconfigured security policy on the target site could leave your application exposed. A missing firewall rule could create an attack vector. A forgotten script executio

Currently attempting to apply dark site cluster based license on PCVM of Prism Central with versions: 2024.3.1.10 with NCC 5.1.2 and LCM 3.1.1 with the command “~/ncc/bin/license_key_util apply key=license_key cluster=cluster_uuid”Prism Element Clusters are on AOS 7.0.1.5, NCC 5.2.0.1 and LCM 3.2.1However when I run the command I receive a “Segmentation fault (core dumped)” error message. Is there a reason why this would be occurring? I checked and verified that all versions are above the minimum supported version.

Hey Community 👋NC2 on Google Cloud is officially here — and it’s bringing the Nutanix Cloud Platform (NCP) to Google Cloud’s bare metal compute instances across the globe. This will not only enable organizations to build a hybrid cloud with another Hyperscaler, but it will also allow IT teams to consume Nutanix software through the Google Marketplace and accelerate their use of Google’s market leading AI and big data solutions. 🧭 What’s New?●  Google Cloud is now available in the NC2 Portal: Simply connect to your Google Cloud Project and provision a cluster, just like with AWS and Azure.●  NC2 should also be available in the Google Cloud Marketplace in the next few weeks. Stay tuned for more information on that!●  A Tech Note and User Guide are live on the support portal to help you understand how to get started.●  Move qualification: Get your NC2 migration from on premises ESXi and AHV started with Nutanix Move.●      NKP has already been qualified and is supported on NC2 on Go
