Hi all,I have the Addons component in healthy state false, someone know how I can correct the healthy state?COMPONENT       HEALTHY DESCRIPTIONCore            true    Core is healthyAddons          false   Addons is unhealthyExtensions      true    Extensions is healthyNode            true    Node is healthyLB              true    LB is healthyClusterWorkflow true    ClusterWorkflow is healthy ThanksGiuseppe 

Hi all,I’ve enabled AD authentication on Prism element and Prism Central. All is working, but I saw a little artefact.When I connect with my AD user, the name written in the right top of the screen is the concatenation of two AD fields : Display Name and Last Name. So, It shows my first name and twice my last name (display name field is already the conactenation of first name and last names fields).Is this the same thing for you ? I didn’t see any settings option for AD fields mapping (as for OpenLDAP)thanks !

Hey everyone, I have an ova which is designed for VMWare. The OVA is 2.7 GB in size and is Oracle Linux 9.3.When trying to deploy the OVA in Nutanix PC, it fails and doesn’t work. I’ve been researching and it seems that the vmdks inside the OVA need to be injected with the Virtio drivers that are compatible with AHV.  I want to mention that I have used Nutanix Move to migrate a Virtual Machine from VMWare to Nutanix. The problem is that I need to redistribute these images and Nutanix Move creates images that are 120GB combined (which is the disk sizes but not the vmdk sizes, obviously).  Any help will be much appreciated.

Anyone encountered the following error ? It seems as if the tar file is corrupted. 

Hello,on a new Project we need to import a large VMDK - around 14T of data. Is there a way to import the vmdk directly without usage of the image service.My expaction was to add the Media which contianed the VMDK to a seperate Host and import using a CLI - is this possible? Best regards

Is this a possible option? I currently have a single node (MS-01) running nutanix CE and would like to add storage to expand Files.  Is it possible to bring in additional hardware in nutanix CE for a storage only node? 

hello someone can help me when i try to create cluster node and they give me this message  

Does anyone know why a host would fail to bring up network interfaces after a host reboot?  I have to go in and manually bring them up using IFconfig then everything is fine.

What is the recommended snapshot age in Nutanix?How many days should you keep the snapshot? 

Im trying to install nutanix on Cisco Hyperflex M5 Server and  I get the following errors.Has anyone experienced this and how to solve it?2024-04-17 05:23:04,932Z INFO installation_device: -drive file=/dev/sdj,cache=writethrough,format=raw2024-04-17 05:23:04,959Z DEBUG Using AHV-metadata iso for AHV installation2024-04-17 05:23:04,966Z INFO Executing /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -m 32G -machine q35 -enable-kvm -drive file=/dev/sdj,cache=writethrough,format=raw -drive file=/phoenix/imaging_helper/installer.iso,media=cdrom -netdev user,id=net0,net=192.168.5.0/24 -device e1000,netdev=net0,id=net0,mac=00:25:b5:a0:f3:01 -vnc :1 -boot order=d -pidfile installer_vm.pid -daemonize -smp 4 -serial file:/tmp/installer_vm.log -drive file=/phoenix/imaging_helper/installer.iso-meta.iso,media=cdrom2024-04-17 05:23:05,074Z INFO Installer VM is now running the installation2024-04-17 05:23:05,082Z INFO Installer VM running with PID = 51722024-04-17 05:23:05,

Hello,I am desperate, I have 2 disks and the USB stick with the ISo on my server.If I now want to install Nutranix, I get to the disk selection, but even if I assign the disks to the respective letters, only Phoenix ISO is still mounted at the endThen the install aborts and I can go back to the disk selection.If I enter H,C, or D, the system says either I need SSD's, or I must have 2 disks, which I have.Do I need ESXI on the server, not really if I use the AHV version?

Ok, let’s get straight into the topic. On one of our VMs, we had 3 local disks and 5 NICs and we intended to remove 4 of the 5 NICs, which are no longer necessary. Instead of deleting the NIC in the last row, a disk in the last row has been deleted and no, a snapshot of the VM has unfortunately not been created. Is there any possibility to recover the deleted VM disk from this specific VM with AHV/CVM command line? Thanks in advance for any help! Regards,Didi7

I’m fairly new to AHV and Prism.  We’ve been running Nutanix for a few years but our hosts are running ESXi.  We’re setting up a new cluster with AHV and we’re planning to migrate everything there.  One issue we have is that some hosts have the NVIDIA GPU card in them.  In Vmware, I have affinity rules so that the VMs that use the GPU will only run on the hosts that have the GPU card.  Can I do the same thing with AHV?  Going through KB articles, I get mixed messages. One KB article flat out says that it’s not supported.

Hiya - I’m just wondering how do I go about (who do I ask :)) getting HPE hardware in the Nutanix sizer ? By default the sizer only has NX hardware and it’s my understanding that adding additional nodes (from the likes of HPE/Dell) can be enabled  Thank you muchly :)

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to amend the subnet associated to the NIC of multiple VMs via Powershell or API. Reading the documentation on PowerShell it appears this is maybe not possible without deleting the NIC and adding it. When attempting this via the API I am getting incorret uuid errors even though they are copied straight from the NIC.Many thanks,R

what are we getting from nutanix rather than using vmware. I have few questions.how’s the license scheme in nutanix. what are the backups & recovery methods in nutanix. what type of softwares & products that supports with nutanix vm backup process. as an example in vmware backups. *Synology vmware backup * Qnap vmware backup * Veeam vmware backup & replication * Comvault vmbackup *Acronis vmware backup. How replication work in nutanix How High Availability feature work in nutanix. How vm Live/PowerdOff Migration work in nutanix what mechanism is use in nutanix while comparing to vmware vMotion what type of converters are use in nutanix. Ex: vCenter Converter in vmware what is the snapshot mechanism in nutanix.Thank You.

Does Nutainix SE support deploy Microservices?P.S. I was trying 10+ times to deploy but every time get error.

Can I also set the system so that I no longer need the 2nd USB stick?now the system needs this as a boot medium

Hello! I’ve heard much fun and nice about nutanix and wanted to give it a go on a DELLEMC PE T40.However installation stops due to not being able to illuminate chassis LEDS.I’ve been lookin into this: https://svenbergendahl.com/resolve-intel-nuc-12th-gen-network-adapter-issue-during-nutanix-ce-installation However seems like this driver is not loaded and the problem seems to be elsewhere. 

Hi All, Refer Degraded Node Detection should be enable. But it could allow disable in Prism. May we know when or why should disable Degraded Node Detection? Best regards

there is a problem：One or more cluster services in PCVM/CVM xxx restart within 15 minutes, with a total number of restarts>=10. The following are the services that have been restarted: ['acopolis'].

We are trying out nutanix and in the installer, it asks me for CVM..When i chose the 7mm that clearly is SSD it says its HDD and will not install on it..Is there any workaround for installing cvm on this disk?/pålt7mm - Bay 0 LEN MTFDDAK240TDS-1AW1ZA  Normal 240 GB SATA SSD 2.5"”

In my lab cluster, I first activated Microservices. Then, I created a VPC followed by setting up an Overlay subnet. Finally, I attached my VMs for internal communication. However,: the VMs aren't acquiring IP addresses on the subnet configured within the Overlay subnet. Even after manually configuring the IP addressing, there is no communication between the VMs. Version 6.7.1.5 - STARTER LicenseNCC Version: 4.6.6.1LCM Version: 2.7.1 Version pc.2023.4NCC Version: 4.6.6

Ey, im new here, where can i find the Iso´s for virtualization?I have a Dell Server, and i want testing nutanix

PCVM/CVM xxx 中的一个或多个集群服务在 15 分钟内重新启动，重新启动总数为 >= 10。以下是已重新启动的服务：['acropolis']。
