Non impacted services

Hello,I have been searching for KB(s) that show the services we can restart without an impact on the cluster (wither a single node or more) such as genesis stop cluster_health in KB 13150, do we have such information that we can use without the need to open a case with support? BR

Launch VM Authentication

Hello,We have a scenario where we need to grant access to console VM's to some users without this users have access to prism. Do you know if exist some way that bypass authentication to launch console VM? Maybe a API call that I can pass this authentication in a code, for example? I know that in url vm, I can inform the uuid of VM's the access works, but I need grant access without directly logon on prism Thanks

ubuntu 22.04 cloud images (img or ova)

For installing a Ubuntu Server Cloud image is it still required to customize it to add the serial port as described in a 2-year old article in this forum for installing Ubuntu Server Cloud.  Also do Ubuntu Server 22.04 OVA images work or must use .img? See: Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish) [20230107]

Alert on resilient capacity of a cluster

There is an option to have the Storage widget turn yellow when the cluster reached a warning threshold of resilient capacity. This feature does not appear to trigger an alert in Prism Elements. Are there any options to make this trigger an alert or are there options to alert on the resilient capacity of the cluster? Managing the capacity based on anything else creates more management overhead when each cluster has to have the capacity calculated individually and the thresholds set/reset with cluster changes. Since this widget is already doing the calculation it seems redundant to have to edit the storage pool alerts on every cluster. This is an example of the Storage Widget with the warning triggered. But the storage pool has not triggered an alert based on these numbers because it doesn’t take into consideration the resilient capacity.

VMs power on after Cluster power outage

When a cluster goes down due to a power failure, the VMs power back up when the hosts come back online.   Is there any way to control this and create a boot order for those VMs?

Guest Windows 2003 NIC malfunction after moving it to AHV

We have migrated a few Windows 2003 server VMs running on Nx / ESX to a new AHV cluster but in one of them after 3-4 hours the principal guest VM NIC stops responding and the VM has to be rebooted. We have tried deleting and adding the NIC manually with the same result so we had to roll back and boot that specific VM on the old Nutanix / ESX cluster. We plan to upgrade Fedora drivers to latest instead of stable and maybe change some network registry settings according to W2k3 best practices. Has anyone experienced this before? Any advice will be welcome.

Nutanix AHV Arm64 Support

With the proliferation of ARM64 servers upwards of 96 to 128 cores per socket, when can we expect a Nutanix AHV focused on ARM64? RedHat and other vendors have already hopped on the bandwagon.

Snapshot VM's memory?

HiI have a question about VM snapshots.  I dont think this is possible otherwise I’m sure it would be obvious in PE or PC but I’ll ask anyway:Can we snapshot the VM’s active memory?  i.e. include the active OS memory in the snapshot, the equivalent of ESXI’s .vmem fileI’ve read up on crash vs application consistent snapshots but I dont see a mention of capturing the OS memoryThanks

Convert AHV disks to SCSI in Windows 2013 post-MOVE migration?

Hi,I followed instructions to migrate a Windows 2013 server from ESX to AHV successfully according using Nx MOVE to https://www.vmwaremine.com/2019/01/24/migrate-windows-2003-x86-to-nutanix-ahv/#sthash.8hpeCflP.T3i44mTW.dpbs, it works great by the way. Now… In the process SCSI disks are cloned to IDE and the Windows 2013 SCSI controller is not recognized.  In this scenario, Is it possible to reconvert those disks back to SCSI? I guess I need to get the driver first (Fedora?) and follow available procedure to reconvert, Has anyone done this? Thanks!

Windows Server 2022 C Drive Partitions on AHV

I am posting this as a general FYI in case others encounter this issue and are looking for a work around. Additionally, I am making this more Nutanix specific.I recently created a base image for Windows Server 2022 Standard. I started with a small C Drive, 100GB.When I cloned it for my first production server and I went to expand the C Drive, the default partition scheme that Server 2022 installs with, places the Windows recovery partition AFTER the primary partition. The result is an inability to expand the C Drive partition through Disk Management.Preface: I mention these because many online forums suggested these as solutions.I understood that I could simply delete the recovery partition. For various reasons I did not want to. I understand it is best practice to install most applications etc. onto another drive. In this instance I did not want to. I understand that there are 3rd party applications that I can use to manipulate the partitions. I did not want to.Solution: Overall you n

Network connectivity issues in a Cluster

The setup is a cluster with 3 hosts. The cluster is up and running.However, the VMs connected to one of the hosts are not able to access the internet or other VMs on the network.If any of the affected VM is migrated to another host in the cluster, then it will be able to access the internet or other VMs on the network.Once it is returned to the faulty host, the connectivity problem will persist again.

New - where do we start.

Hi. So our nutanix system is arriving in a few days, it’s now in the country.  I’m going onsite in mid January to set it up where do I begin.  We are going to be using Acropolis (excuse the spelling if wrong). From what I gather i’m just going to have rather a lot of boxes around 95kg in total, I guess once i’ve worked out how to put the hardware together where the heck do i begin getting acropolis installed on it all, I possibly just missed it but was expecting an easier Idiots guide this is where you start with your new system. We are going to be setting up various windows servers when we get to that stage.  I’m ok with VMWare but never used Nutanix before. I might be in the wrong forum dumped it in AHV Virtualisation as i’m assuming that’s Acropolis.  That’s how new  I am :) Cheers EDIT: Only just thought i guess i should wait till i see the kit it might come with a start here guide.

Microsoft Windows Server DataCenter 2022 license on AHV (perpetual vs open w SA)

A customer would like to run Microsoft Windows Server DataCenter 2022 in an AHV environment and we are looking at licensing for this.  We want DataCenter cause of unlimited VM’s. We have recently heard that this has changed in the past year and only retail or perpetual licensing can run on Hyper-V and you can not run on AHV or Vmware anymore.  This is because it needs the host to communicate with some licensing portal.  So we have to purchase Open Value with SA for running AHV which is considerably more money and have to pay on a yearly subscription. They gave us this description. Windows Server 2022 Datacenter 2-Core License + SA (3 Yr)SKU: 9EA-00643Open Value with Software Assurance (3 Years)(3) 24-Core Hosts & Unlimited VMSNutanix HypervisorFulfilled with MAK/KMS LicenseDowngrade Rights to 2019 & 2016 Can anyone confirm this?If true this is crap and Microsoft is pushing their stupid hypervisor.
