Hello Everyone,Iam learning NC2 on Azure from couple of months and preparing documents out of my learning, I need assistance in below queries if anyone can assist, would be really great !!! How do we manage Load Balancer Deployment in NC2 on Azure, Do we deploy LB in Hub VNET?  or how it is being deployed. Also How do we manage Firewall in NC2 on Azure.

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

Hey everyone,I’m currently preparing for the NCA-v6.10 exam and documenting my certification journey using multiple resources.Here’s a scenario I’m trying to clarify: Suppose you need to design a multi-cluster Nutanix environment with high availability and automated failover for critical workloads. Should you prioritize configuring metro availability, stretched clusters, or replication strategies for optimal performance and reliability?I’d appreciate insights from anyone who has taken the exam or handled similar real-world deployments.Thanks in advance!  

Hi everyone,I’m trying to download the latest version of Nutanix Community Edition (CE), specifically v7.1 or newer (ideally matching AOS 7.3). However, I can only find the download link for CE v6.8.1 on the official portal.Does Nutanix still offer CE versions aligned with AOS 7.x (e.g., 7.1, 7.2, or 7.3)? If so, could someone please share the correct download link or guidance on how to access it?Thanks in advance!

I am working on setting up DR replication between two 3 node Nutanix clusters running AOS and AHV. Can someone help clarify something for me? It does not appear that you can replicate a PC VM, and the clusters can only be registered to a single PC instance. So:If the cluster hosting the PC VM were to go down, how would you be able to initiate a manual failover with the controlling PC VM also down?Do I need to stand up PC on each cluster and register each to a separate PC instance to avoid this single point of failure?Is bi-directional replication possible with two clusters registered to the same PC? It appears that once a protection policy is setup to replicate from cluster A-->B that A is no longer an option to setup as a replication target from cluster B.

Hi,Had got the result of the NCP-EUC 6.10 beta exam on 25th Nov, however, yet to receive the digital certificate / badge from credly still. 

Hi. It appears that you cannot backup PC to an AWS storage gateway, it must be able to reach AWS natively. Is this true? Thank you!

I create a 3 node cluster on top of ESXi for lab. assign 3 nic in each node. After cluster build  by default 4 nic attach with switch vs0. When i remove 2 nic from the vs0, it automatically hypervisor rolling restart.  How can i remove 2 nic form vs0. I tried from cli but result same.  

HiI was trying to deploy a single node AHV cluster on a HPE host. As previous task I’ve applied the latest Service Pack for Proliant and I’ve updated the ILO6 to the latest version 1.72 and configure the static network on ILO. Then I uploaded the AOS 7.3.1 and AHV 10.3.1.11 (latest releases) to the Foundation (windows app) and I’ve launched the deployment wizzard.The foundation process started but it crashed at 41% with the following errors: 2025-11-27 13:19:11,970Z imaging_step.py:123 DEBUG Setting state of <ImagingStepValidation(<NodeConfig(139.128.156.70) @ff10>) @f7c0> from PENDING to RUNNING2025-11-27 13:19:11,974Z imaging_step.py:159 INFO Running <ImagingStepValidation(<NodeConfig(139.128.156.70) @ff10>) @f7c0>2025-11-27 13:19:11,978Z cache_manager.py:133 DEBUG Cache MISS: key(common_validations_()_{'global_config': <foundation.config_manager.GlobalConfig object at 0x00000207A7A2FE20>})2025-11-27 13:19:11,982Z config_validator.py:312 INFO Validating

I had a previous topic open on this but it’s been a while.  The previous topic concluded that the NICS weren’t compatible so I replaced them and reinstalled Nutanix CE.  It’s now installed but I don’t think it’s picking up the NICS still and I cannot get into the console to see.  The cards are Intel X550 cards.  Any ideas?

Hi, I an trying to run a Capacity and Utilization report in Prism Central Version 7.3.0.6 and I read that the Reports feature was removed and if I wanted to run the report to go to Analytics > Dashboards but I cannot see this either. I am new to Nutanix so any help in the right direction would be grateful.

Hello Nutanix Community,I am developing a self-service runbook (python scripts) in Prism Central to implement a time-based GPU billing model, allowing administrators to attach a GPU to a VM for a specific duration.The Core QuestionIs there a supported or known method (API-driven or otherwise) to dynamically populate a Runbook Input Variable (specifically a List of Values/Dropdown) at runtime, based on a query to the Prism API?For example: Could a pre-run script execute a gpus/list query to determine available vGPU profiles and format that output to populate the options list for the gpu_profile_selection variable before the form is presented to the user?

Hello all, I've come across an issue when attempting to create a VM via Prism central i get a fetch error below. Nonetheless i haven't found much on the issue and am turning to see if anyone has any insight.
