Hola a todos,Estoy trabajando en un entorno de laboratorio con Prism Central versión 7.5 y me ha surgido una duda respecto a los data sources que se pueden gestionar desde PC o CVM.En el caso de PC se hace por GUI y los módulos ya están definidos, pero, es posible añadir módulos de syslog desde la interfaz gráfica de Prism Central o se podría  hacer desde CLI?En el caso de CVM he visto que se hace desde linea de comando y hay mas opciones que las disponibles en PC. ¡Gracias de antemano por cualquier indicación o enlace a documentación! 

Hi, Hope everyone are ok,I have a quick question, is possible to install AHV in 3 nodes that have only 2 SSDsI know that 3 disks are need it, but i tried to use USB to install “H” and “C” and “D” in the other ones.There is some configuration or something to bypass and install in a USB “H”, because i can´t add a third disk in each node,Right now im using it in a nested VM ESXi solution, but is not the same experience… Thanks in advance,

In Azure and AWS we can create labels on node pool, but in NKP there is no way to do it?  

Hi i just want to clarify and curious, is it possible to add new hard drive in the cluster nutanix that has no license, or expire license? Current condition the cluster has reached 90% and the reserve rebuild capacity in disable mode, when i plug in new hard drive, is it safe to perform or i have to renew the license first?

Hi Nutanix Community Team,I hope you are all doing well.I am reaching out here because I am currently facing a roadblock with my Nutanix Multicloud Expert application and could use some guidance.To give you some context:I have successfully completed all required technical certifications (including NCA, NCP-MCI, NCP-Cloud Native, NCP-BC, and NCS-Core).I have actively contributed to the community by publishing technical troubleshooting blogs and articles.I previously sent an email to the EMEA team/program coordinators regarding my application status, the sponsor requirement, and how to update my submission, but unfortunately, I haven't received a response yet.Additionally, the system currently prevents me from submitting a new or updated application form.Could anyone guide me on how to get this sorted out, or help escalate my case to the right person in the EMEA team so I can finalize my application?Thank you so much for your continuous support!Best regards, 

Hi, I have a nutanix cluster with a lot of VM’s in state Off i want to know if exist a safety way to “depure/eliminated”, or exist a way to know how much time a specific vm is this status (shutdown)?

Our AHV cluster consists of 3 nodes (running AHV version 11.0.1 and AOS version 7.5.1.1).Node C (host IP: 192.168.155.236, CVM IP: 192.168.155.239) experienced an issue, so we re-imaged it using Foundation with new IP addresses (host IP: 192.168.155.229, CVM IP: 192.168.155.230). Node C is now running newer versions—AHV 11.1 and AOS 7.5—but attempts to add it back to the cluster have failed.Is there a way to add Node C back to the cluster?

Hello,Today we tried to connect our Prism Central instances to Nutanix Central (Cloud).All PC are connected, but at Nutanix Central there are no permissions to see anything in my registered PC domains.I read that the User in Nutanix Central (my Account for this is my Email address) must be the same as in my local Prism Central.I have created a local User identically Like e-mail address for Nutanix, created an authorization policy with role prism admin and added my local User.That does Not Work.Where is the mistake? Thanks in advance and Kind regards,Thomas 

like another user i am running into the same problem. can someone help me. ​​​​​​I have Nutanix CE running in my homelab, and I wanted to deploy CVAD on it. However, it appears that you need a plugin to get it working. Unfortunately, I can’t download the plugin because it requires my account to be activated, which I can’t do since I don’t have a Serial Number, Service Tag, or Software Registration ID  The doc im referencinghttps://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/solutions/details?targetId=BP-2079-Citrix-Virtual-Apps-and-Desktops:nutanix-ahv-plug-in-for-citrix.html

Dear Team,I am trying to deploy an NKP cluster using the Prism Central Marketplace. All prerequisites have been completed successfully, and the deployment process is starting normally.However, after the Bastion VM creation step, the deployment continuously fails with the error message indicating "Nutanix username/password is invalid." I have already changed the Nutanix credentials and retried the deployment using the updated password, but the same issue persists.For your reference, the environment details are as follows:Prism Central Version: 7.6 AOS Version: 7.6 NKP Image: nkp-rocky-9.7-release-cis-1.34.3-20260504011927.qcow2 Could you please check and advise if this is a known issue or a bug related to this NKP image/version combination? Kindly confirm the recommended fix or any additional troubleshooting steps required.
