AHV Virtualization

How to Get Total vCPU count details from a cluster? 

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.

What is the Best way to Delete Old Snapshots of VMs autmatically?

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

Hi guys, I have 3 node  1065 G7 cluster 5.20 and planning to upgrade to 6.5.1.6. Post I am adding 1065 G8 to the existing. Is there any issues if I image the 1065 G8 to 5.20 then add it to the cluster and upgrade all together tp 6.5.1.6? 

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! 

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

Hey Guys,I have a 3 node cluster. I am planning to add a new node to the existing. Since I already have a cluster, once I rack mounted and connected the cables to the nodes should I go for foundation for node setup or can I use expand cluster option?

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. 

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.

Planning for moving from VMware to Nutanix CE. I have 3 NUC,Skull Canyon Hades Canyon . Wall Street CanyonPlanning to populate 2x1TB ssd to each of the NUC. Before dumping money in to populate my NUCs with SSDs, i would like to check if there are any potential problem to setup a 3 host cluster with 3 different CPU architecture?

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.

I wanted to start a discussion on our new Flow Virtual Networking VPC feature based on this video that TME Eric Walters created.You can use VPCs to make isolated overlay networks, do self-service network creation, or multi-tenant separation. Have you tried out VPCs in your environment? 

i wants to Migrate Azure VM to AHV Cluster, please help us to Migration Procedure.Azure Cloud VM to Nutanix AHV Cluster.

Hi All,  We have an issue trying to install Hyper-V on Dell XC750. From what I can find on the document, it should be supported. However, I am not able to find the customised image for Hyper-V. Appreciate if anyone can share thoughts. Thank you RegardsElroy

Hello,I’m trying to install Nutanix community on VMware workstation to test it. In the initial configuration, it asks for two IP addresses and DNS. Would like to know what the correct IP address configuration is if I have an ISP. Do I assign IPs from my ISP?  

Hello everybody, I started using Storage VM migration … vm.update_container VMNAME container=test-container … to move VMs from an old to a new container. Big VMs have been moved. I would like to delete the old storage containers, but space usage is still high, allthough VM have been moved to another storage container. I am aware of the directories … .acropolis, .file_repo and .ngt … and those directories are empty now. How can I reclaim space in a storage container, when VMs have been moved, the Recycle Bin has been emptied.No VMs have been deleted, only moved, so the 36 hours rule for space reclaimation doesn’t seem to apply here?Any thoughts?Regards,Didi7
