Packer - Nutanix Builder

Hello,I'm working on building a Debian 12 image for Nutanix, but I found it difficult to start the automatic Debian installation process (DebianInstaller). Unlike other virtualizers that I have worked with so far, Nutanix does not have the "boot_command" parameter to start the self-installation process.Is there any documentation or tutorial on how to proceed in this case?Thanks for any guidance.

AHV software upgrade unavailable after upgrading AOS to 6.5.3.7

Hi, I’m stuck while upgrading software on LCM.AOS(6.5.3.7) and others(Foundation,NCC ..etc)upgrades were successful, but the only thing I cant see on LCM is AHV hypervisor. I unzipped several versions(higher than 20201105.2267), and I even directly uploaded on LCM, but nothing shows up at Software Firmware Update tab.  Attached is capture of Inventory How Can I solve this problem? Are these versions compatible?

Can we define a kind of "VM class" in a Nutanix cluster?

I would like to know if there is a way to define a kind of "VM class" in a Nutanix cluster, similar to what I can do with VMware's resource pool. The objective is to limit excessive CPU and IOPS usage. My goal is to have CPU classes like 'bronze, silver, gold' and the same for storage.If you have any information, I'd like to hear from you.Thanks in advance

Volume Groups - Which API v3 or v2 & Ansible Module Nutanix NCP

Hello Everyone  I have been building Ansible Playbooks to automate Nutanix VM builds and I have the need to create and attach a volume group to some of the VM’s.  The Nutanix NCP module from Ansible Galaxy has been pretty much the only module I could locate that really handles the vm creation well.  What I have found is that depending on where you go there are conflicts in whether or not version 3 or version 2 of the API is supported.While using the API explorer on Prism Central it is shown as volume_groups and appears exposed.  When reviewing docs and next.nutanix, various API information it appears it should work but doesn’t and I can’t seem to locate any good examples.Anyone here willing to share code or direction on what they have working for volume group creation and management.  I am currently on working with 2 clusters with Prism Central deployed.  I am hopeful I can find a functional example of ansible or api calls that manage volumes and thank anyone in advance for their help.

What is ICAP and integration with Nutanix files

ICAP stands for internet content adaption protocol is an open standard being adopted to connect devices to enterprise-level virus scan engine . same way with the nutanix files is to enable communication with external servers hosting third-party anti-virus software to scan inbound data (files) in transit via Secure Proxy before sending it to the backend destination server.ICAP WORKFLOWThe ICAP service runs on each Nutanix Files file server and can interact with more than one ICAP server in parallel to support horizontal scale-out of the antivirus server. The scale-out nature of Files and one-click optimization greatly mitigate any antivirus scanning performance overhead. If the scanning affects Nutanix Files FSVM performance, one-click optimization recommends either increasing the virtual CPU resources or scaling out the FSVMs. This feature also helps both the ICAP server and Files scale out, ensuring fast responses from the customer’s antivirus vendor WHY Nutanix files integration with

How do I know if my hard disk C is full?

I made an alert for the hard disk, if its use reaches more than 90%, it sends me an alert on the e-mail, but the problem is that some servers contain a C disk and a D disk, and when one of the disks is full, it does not send me an alert because the other disk has space, so how can I separate the disks from Some in order to warn when any disk is full of them

Converting BR1 to VS1 without reboot?

Good afternoon AllI have just watched a video about converting Br1 to VS1, during the process it shows that the hosts will go into maintenance mode and reboot, however the presenter said that unless the MTU is altered the VS will be created on all hosts with no reboot - I just want to confirm this is correct as this is a live production environment? Many thanksEric
