AHV Virtualization

NIAC tool is free or do we need pay for it

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.

I have followed the steps from the below linksMigrating Sles 12 VM's From AHV To ESXi Export a VM from Nutanix AHV to VMware ESXiBut when turning on the VM it does not boot gets stuck at the bios screen.

I got an issue where the cluster is DOWN and I unable to access the CVM and AHV via SSH. I have requested for credential to access IPMI, but they do not found any valid credential to access IPMI, even with a default password. There 4 nodes in 1 block, which I only have an access to 1 node [CVM and AHV]. I also unable to access the Prism. Is there any possible way to UP the cluster? Besides, I unable to create case to support.

Hello everyone, can someone tell me if there are any files which can be deleted safely from this screeshot below, as I am afraid I there are any files which are related to running the system.there error is related to the /home/nutanix/data which showing 25 GB  

Does anyone else have an issue with Nutanix Element not allowing you to use numlock within the VM?Version 6.5.3.6 LTS

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

Good day nutanix community A customer it´s going to upgrade his cluster from ESXi 7.0.3 to 7.0 U3l BUT, in the Compatibility and Interoperability Matrix there is no information about this ESXi Version so, it´s is supported this ESXi? Current AOS version 5.20.4.6 LTS and in the LCM it´s available the update  6.5.3.6 LTSModel NX-8035-G8  

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

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  

Hi can any one help me on below query , when i  Create Isolation Policy in Nutanix flow getting below issue how fix it..?can any one explain about the all policy's in Nutanix flow with example..

Hi Every One,Please help me on below question, How we have to integrate vmware infra with nutanix hci…?What is the prerequisites to integrate vmware infra with Nutanix hci…?what are the Network prerequisites to intigrate vmware infra with nutanix hci..?

Subject says most of it. I have read the physical networking “best practices” guide, and I am currently running a small (3-node, NX-1175S-G7) cluster on top of Dell S4112F switches.My org is looking to add a second cluster at a second datacenter, and I was asked if the Mikrotik CRS510-8XS-2XQ-IN or Mikrotik CRS518-16XS-2XQ switches would work for the new cluster.My initial response was “no,” but I’m wondering if anybody has tried it? I would be concerned about buffer size on the switches… but how much does that matter if all of the cluster nodes are connected at the same speed, and I have a L3 boundary (router/firewall) between the VM subnet and the rest of the network (router has much better buffering than any switch would)?I do not have decision-making power here, so how can I “influence” my boss that using three-figure switches is likely to be a problem for a 5-figure+ cluster?

Hi, they can help me, I have a PD and I deleted the local snapshots and schedules, but I still see the amount in "Snapshot Exclusive Usage", it takes almost 30 hours that everything was deleted and I see no way to reduce the PD. regards,

There is a VG with 5 GB disk assigned for 2 Linux Machines by VM name, upon restart of VMs this disk gets disconnected, to reconnect the disk, I have tried removing the VMs from VG and added again, the disks started showing up fine.In the linux maching the NFS mounts are saved as persistant already.Please let me know if this is a known issues as all other VGs with same configurations are working perfectly fine.

Hello everyone,I am using the Robo cluster and seeing 7.68 TB space in recycle bin. But this space not reclaimed. How can i reclaim this space?  

Hi,In the Prism Central v3 API, when making a POST request to the clusters/list endpoint and the hosts/list endpoint, the offset and length parameters are ignored. As a result, the response returns all the clusters/hosts irrespective of the parameters passed.Has this issue already been reported, and do you happen to know when we can expect it to be fixed?Thanks in advance.

HiWe have a cluster running on AHV and have recently found that its not possible to host guest VMs running Hyper-V within them, as a layer 2 hypervisor.The scenario is we have a few Windows 2016 VMs running on ESXi at the moment and each VM has the Hyper-V role installed in Windows 2016, providing containers for Docker.We want to move the VMs to our Nutanix cluster but running Hyper-V within a VM is not a supported type of nested virtualisation.Support say there are only 2 types of nested virtualisation supported:  Credential Guard and WSL2.Docker is able to use WSL2 for containers as an alternative to Hyper-V but our problem is we need to stick to Windows because our apps are coded for Windows and our Dev team are not keen on re-writing everything!I’m looking for an unofficial workaround, is there a way to force AHV to allow in-guest layer 2 hypervisors to run?   Its possible on ESXi, it feels like there should be an option in the host’s BIOS to enable compatibility.Any ideas would be
