I am installing the latest Nutanix CE from USB onto an HP DL380 G9 with 160GB Ram & 3 new 1TB SATA drives.CE Loads and runs incompletely.  instsvcdrv.service: Control Process exited, status=155.  Please point me to what the actual issue is. TIA.

Hello everyone,I currently have an AOS Pro license and am planning to convert it to NCI Pro. In my environment, I am already using Prism Central, and I understand that Prism Central is required as part of the conversion process.However, I would like to clarify the potential impact if I do not convert the license to NCI Pro before the current AOS Pro license expires.Specifically:Will there be any service disruption or limitation on cluster operations? What features will be affected or disabled after the license expires? Will Prism Central functionality be impacted in any way? Is there any grace period or compliance warning before enforcement?I would appreciate any insights or official references regarding this scenario.

Hi everyone,I’m currently working on a use case in Nutanix Prism Central and would appreciate your guidance.**Requirements:*** Assign a dedicated VM to each user.* When a user logs into Prism Central via an IAM Windows Server link (SSO), the VM assigned to that user should automatically power on.* When the user logs out, the VM should automatically power off (or shut down gracefully).**Questions:**1. Is there any built-in feature in Prism Central or Nutanix IAM that supports this kind of user-to-VM assignment with automatic power control?2. Can this be achieved using Nutanix Calm, Runbooks, or automation policies?3. What is the recommended way to trigger actions based on user login/logout events (e.g., via audit logs, webhooks, or IAM integration)?4. Are there any best practices for mapping users to VMs (e.g., using categories or tags)?If anyone has implemented a similar solution or can suggest an approach, I'd really appreciate your input.Thanks in advance!

Hi,I’m looking to deploy the L4 load balancers for domain controller services LDAP(S), NTP, & DNS, you know they type of thing that gets addresses programmed into devices/applications.I can create a LB session for an IP and have it listen on multiple ports 53,123,636 but when I gets round to selecting the destination VM Nic's I can only specify a single port for the destination.  Is there any way to balance multiple services from a set of hosts with a single VIP, or will I need to create an LB session and separate VIP for each of the services?Also some of the documentation i read said that It’s possible to use VM Categories to select the destination VM’s, but I don’t seem to have that option, which version do I need to be running to get that?

Hello, I have recently deployed nutanix with Foundation, and every went well and I can access the PE from web browser. But when I go the Virtual Switch section, I cannot See vs0 in Switch Tab, not sure what is the issue. I go to Cluster Setting and Reboot the cluster, but it keep on processing and so on entering in maintenance mode. Can anyone help.    Regards

I recently deployed Nutanix , but when I am opening web browser it is showing and I belive that it might be the certificate issue. I issued a commad to check the certificate in CVM and it is showing below and my system team already passed the date and time, what might be the other issue. Cluster is showing UP and healthy.  upstream connect error or disconnect/reset before headers. retried and the latest reset reason: connection failure, transport failure reason: TLS error: 268435581:SSL routines:OPENSSL_internal:CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED

Buenos días, Estoy evaluando las mejores alternativas para la monitorización de los entornos Nutanix de un cliente. Basándoos en vuestra experiencia técnica, ¿qué stack recomendáis para obtener una visibilidad completa?Más allá de las capacidades nativas de Prism Central, ¿habéis implementado integraciones externas con Nagios o dashboards personalizados en Grafana?Me interesa saber si estas opciones aportan un valor diferencial real en cuanto a granularidad y alertas.Un saludo AntonioM

We have created Auto shutdown playbook of AHV host with scheduled but facing issue, when Prism Central ON , these scheduled initiated before time and we not  able to to access prism central , so disable  playbook task.

Buenas! Este Topic nada tiene que ver con la pelicula de la vida de Pi, pero sí con las certificaciones de Nutanix.Históricamente, la comunidad de Nutanix suele celebrar el día de Pi con vouchers gratuitos SOLO ESE DIA. Podéis echar un ojo por ejemplo a la del año pasado en este enlace: https://next.nutanix.com/nutanix-certification-77/celebrate-pi-day-with-a-free-nca-or-ncp-exam-42805?tid=42805&fid=77Como veis, suele estar publicado en el foro de EducationAsí que ahí lo dejo, sólo como recordatorio, que un examen gratis no amarga a nadie! Poneros una alarma, porque el 14 cae en sábado.

HiI have a customer with an old Nutanix AHV Cluster:Prism Central: pc.2023.4.0.2  AOS: 6.5.6.6  AHV: el7.nutanix.20220304.511 We wil deploy a new Nutanix AHV Cluster:Prism Central: 7.5.0.6  AOS: 7.5.0.6 AHV: 11.0.0.2  But the problem here is Veeam compatibility between enviroments. Right now the customer has two Veeam 12 apliances, the initial proposal was to eliminate one of them and use a single Veeam appliance with Veeam13.However when I was checking the compatibility matrix I can see the following info:https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbr/userguide/ahv_system_requirements.html?ver=13https://portal.nutanix.com/page/compatibility-interoperability-matrix/software?partnerName=Veeam&solutionType=Data%20Protection&componentVersion=all&hypervisor=AHV&validationType=all As far as I understand from the previous links if you want to use Veeam 13 you need at least:Prism Central → pc.2022.6 or above AOS → 6.5.6.6 or above AHV → 10.3.1.1 or above So checking the inventory from

Hello,I have some hands-on experience with Nutanix AHV. Currently, we are starting a project that involves a full migration of our Nutanix environment from on-premises infrastructure to Azure NC2.I have been searching for an official step-by-step guide or a recommended migration workflow, but so far I have not been able to find a clear document that explains the correct process for planning and executing this migration.Could anyone please share documentation, best practices, or a high-level migration flow for moving workloads from Nutanix AHV to Azure NC2?Any guidance or references would be greatly appreciated.Thank you.

Hello,  I’ve deployed several test Nutanix Single-Node clusters for test purposes.

I have setup an instance of Move and am able to login with the default username of nutanix along with the password I created to log into the web portal of Move. However when trying the same credentials in the CLI under “move login” the creds return invalid. I have also tried the default “admin // nutanix/4u” to no avail.Am I missing something? 

Estimado Foro,En relación a los procesos de migración donde el E2E, los procesos, flujos, ambitos incluso de permisos es un factor que limita y afecta una correcta migración.Queria consultar si alguien ha realizado algun documento de migración donde incluya: restricciones, compatibilidades, recomendaciones, el año anterior realice una migración en este ambito que me da un contexto inicial, sin embargo el reto es grande cuando todo incrementa en tamaño de Workload y criticidad, en este sentido si alguien tiene algun inicio seria importante lo comparta, o en su defecto lo ire documentando para aporte a la comunidad.Una consulta: alguien ha expermientado migrar un Active Directory to AHV, de pronto me puede compartir su experiencia?

HiThis thread is related with the previous one that I opened some days ago but it was already closed as solved.https://next.nutanix.com/nutanix-disaster-recovery-29/replicated-recovery-points-not-found-error-45362In summary:I’ve recently deployed a pair of AHV clusters, each one with his on Prism Central. Later I’ve created a specific container for testing purpose called “Replica-Container” on both sites I’ve moved some test VMs to that specific container and and I’ve created a manual bi-directional syncronous replica between both sites. I’ve manualy added the test VMs to the protection plan and I’ve waited some time for them to replicate between sites. Finaly I’ve created two different Recovery plans Recovery Plan1 - recover VMs from site1 at site2 Recovery Plan2 - recover VMs from site2 at site1 I’ve validated both plans (succesfuly) and I’ve performed a Test.The initial test worked fine for plan2, however Recovery Plan1 shows this error:  I assumed that I should have to wait more t
