Imaging G9 Nodes with ISO Files for AHV Cluster Setup

!--startfragment>Dear Peers,I’ve recently received three new G9 servers and I’d like to image them remotely using ISO files before creating a Nutanix cluster. The target hypervisor is AHV.Is it possible to perform remote imaging using ISO files? If so, where can I download the required AHV images, or how can I create a single ISO image suitable for this process?Any guidance or best practices would be greatly appreciated. Thx Calvin!--endfragment>

How To enable nested virtualization on AHV with CE 2.1

We attempted the following approaches to enable nested virtualization, but it still did not work.Approach 1:a. Created the VM and enabled cpu_passthrough=true before powering it on.Observation: We were able to log in to Windows.b. Enabled the Hyper-V feature inside the VM and restarted.Observation: The system failed to log in and entered Recovery mode.Approach 2:a. Created the VM and enabled hardware_virtualization=true before powering it on.Observation: We were able to log in to Windows.b. Enabled the Hyper-V feature inside the VM and restarted.Observation: We could log in, but the nested virtualization feature was disabled.Please advise on how to enable nested virtualization in CE 2.1

When Will AHV and Citrix App Layering (ELM) Support Gen2 VMs with UEFI and TPM?

Hello Nutanix EUC Enthusiasts,I’m learning Enterprise Layer Management (ELM) to layer applications but have learned that ELM does not support app layering of Gen2 VMs with Nutanix AHV—only Hyper-V and VMware.Currently, Citrix App Layering requires Offload Compositing to the hypervisor to deploy Gen2 VMs. This feature is only supported on vSphere and Hyper-V—leaving AHV admins unable to leverage ELM app layering for Windows 11 deployments that require Secure Boot and TPM.This raises a few questions:Compatibility Roadmap•     Is there a timeline for Citrix ELM to support Offload Compositing on AHV, enabling Gen2 VM app layering deployment?Nutanix Professional Services offer of App Layering•     Nutanix offers App Layering as a Professional Service—but how does this work in practice for Windows 11 Gen2 VMs if Citrix ELM isn’t supported on AHV?•     Are custom workflows or alternate layering strategies or tools used to bypass the ELM limitation?•     Is there a workaround for layering in A

Create UEFI Secure Boot VM using PowerShell

I am using the New-NTNXVirtualMachine PowerShell cmdlet to create a VM on an AHV cluster.  Up until now, I haven’t included the “-BootConfig” option and it has defaulted to “BIOS”. Now I need to specify UEFI and Secure Boot for Boot Configuration.  AI gave me examples and information but it must be out-dated because the properties were not named correctly.  Or maybe my cmdlets are out-dated. It gave me this:$bootConfig = New-NutanixObject -Name BootConfig$bootConfig.uefi_boot = $true$bootConfig.secure_boot = $true$bootConfig.boot_device_order = @("kCdrom", "kDisk", "kNetwork")New-NTNXVirtualMachine -Name "MyUEFIVM" -MemoryMB 4096 -NumVCPUs 2 -BootConfig $bootConfig -Cluster "MyCluster"When I tried it, I found there were actually no underscores in the name.  But I did not find any reference to a property for “secureboot”.$bootconfig | get-member TypeName: Nutanix.Prism.DTO.Acropolis.BootConfigDTOName MemberType Definition---- ---------- ----------Equals

Community Edition: Operation failed: NoHostResources: No host is schedulable: 14

I am following this guide: https://www.jeroentielen.nl/installing-nutanix-community-edition-ce-on-vmware-esxi-vsphere/ I am getting this error message:  Operation failed: NoHostResources: No host is schedulable: 14There is no insight in the entire system to say why the host is not schedulable.I have allocated 100GB Memory, 16 cpu cores and 2.5TB of storage To CE 2.1.  All health checks are green.VM i’m trying to run is Linux based, 2GB memory 128GB storage without any networking.I’ve started and stopped the cluster. Entered and Exited Maintenance Mode. The system is a Dell R720 with E5 2667 V2 processors running ESXI 7.0U3o I am at a loss for why this system won’t run a basic linux VM. Any ideas would be appreciated.

DR using Protection policies, can initial seeding/replication be throttled?

I’m setting up my DR site, will be using asynchronous/near-sync replication with Protection Policies in Prism Central (NOT Protection Domain) I don’t want to completely drown my WAN link in replication traffic during the initial VM seeding. Is there any way of throttling or controlling the replication traffic?

Number of Objects Pending Replication always 3

I have replication configured from one Nutanix object bucket to another Nutanix object bucket and it is always stuck at 3. As data is added to the source bucket I can see it replicates, but the 3 objects never seem to clear. This leads to RTO and RPO warnings daily. Is there a resolution to this?

Playbook help

Hello, I am looking for a way to automate the addition of a category for a DR Protection Policy.  I want the playbook to look for the categories of Production and Mission Critical for a VM.  If those two categories are present, I then want to add the category of DisasterRecoveryEnabled.  Thank you,Joe

Unable to obtain cluster resource

HiI'm using 6.5.2 LTS.I have a cluster consisting of three machines.As you can see in the attached screenshot, on the Prism Element home screen, each resource in the cluster is displayed as "not available."The Storage Summary also shows values that differ from actual usage.I've configured SNMP in Prism Element, and when I use snmpwalk to retrieve values such as hypervisorRxBytes from the monitoring server, the values always show the same.If you know the cause, please let me know. Thank you in advance.

Adding SMBIOS information to AHV VM

I am conducting a qualification of an application on AHV which requires certain SMBIOS values are set for the host VM to properly identify the platform and ensure operation. Specifically, values of smbios type 2 (baseboard) for “Manufacturer” and “Product Name” need to be set. This is normally populated by default in VMware. In Proxmox (another QEMU KVM based hypervisor) this can be easily set using the qm tool and passing the args string to update the values as needed. qm set <VmID> --args "-smbios type=2,manufacturer=<vendor>",product=<model>"Exhaustive searching leads me to acli vm.update “extra_flags” option but I don’t see any options to add SMBIOS information. Looking for guidance from the community while also working with Nutanix Support. Thanks!

VM Auto Start Feature in Nutanix

Hello, I have 3 node cluster setup and working fine and it is also integrated with PC as well and the VM is in the same cluster itself. I am just curious to know. Just curious to know, how to VM auto start works in this case. Like in VMWARE we use to manually select startup feature and  configure VM Startup Priority by +1. What concept is use in nutanix, and how can we prioritize that?
