AHV Virtualization

Any solution for "Error A6218: AHV Host Password for user nutanix is expiring in the next 500 day(s)"

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?

How to access the Mgmt port in back of the node. Is it through broswer, ssh etc TK

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.  

can any body explain about Nutanix HCI Architecture and how does it work

can any body explain below quary..?Disaster Recovery DC to DR with Async replication for what is the prerequisites and please explain step by step how to configure it..? 

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

Is it possible to install AVH on a non Nutanix machine?  If so, where can I download it from? Tia - Phil

Hey Team,I need a little bit of assistance here. I am new to Nutanix and currently attempting to deploy the community edition for some testing. However, I’ve been following several different guides out there and not having much luck.Installing on VM using ESXi 7.0 (VM version 17). I created new VM w/ Centos 7 compatibility and loaded the ISO.ISO was downloaded from here:https://next.nutanix.com/discussion-forum-14/download-community-edition-38417And md5sum matches.The ISO loads and boots up. I then go through the CLI UI installation and get past to the last screen where it should start installing but then get an error that I need help troubleshooting:Last Screen:Then the Error right after the previous screenshot:Looking at the error, there is reference to minimum requirements but I’m pretty sure I meet them on this VM but if this is what it is, then I can look at a newer beefier server to test on:8CPUs24GB of MemorySata1 20GbsSata2 50GbsSate3 50Gbs​Anyone seen this error before? Any ad

Hi all, after migrating SQL Server(2K12) from ESXi to AHV, all schedule jobs whithin SQL server are taking much longer. any idea what could lead to this behavior?

Hi everyone, We’re using v3/vms/list endpoint to get the information for the VMs. We’re getting last_update_time in the response. Truncated response for a VM:"metadata": { "last_update_time": "2023-06-08T10:49:22Z", "kind": "vm", "uuid": "cff450d3-dd1f-4d7d-9651-9b38164cb7e5", "creation_time": "2023-06-08T10:49:01Z"}I was expecting that if we change any properties of the VM like RAM, Disk Space, etc then last_update_time should get updated. However, irrespective of the value that we change, the last_update_time doesn’t get updated. Additionally, there is no time field which we can use to track the VM updation. Is this an expected behavior? Please let me know if I am missing something.

I wanted to check in to see if anyone has done a Cisco WLC with AHV, we are migrating from VMWare and currently use VGT (VLAN 4095) but it doesn’t look like there is an equivalent. Has anyone been able to get this working?

There is a way to collect virtual machine performance from Prism Central using v3 RESTApi ?Or my only way is to using Prism Element via v1 RESTApi ?

For our development work, we are using /v3/hosts/list endpoint. As per the specs, we want to use length and offset for pagination to fetch large number of hosts. We tried using it as follows:curl --location --request POST 'https://<host>:9440/api/nutanix/v3/hosts/list' \--header 'accept: application/json' \--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \--header 'Authorization: Basic abc' \--data-raw '{ "kind": "host", "length": 1, "offset": 9}'However, length and offset params doesn’t seem to be working. It returns all the hosts (2 in our case) irrespective of the params passed.  Also, we used the same params in /v3/vms/list and they are working as expected. So, wanted to know if this is expected or is this an open issue? Is there a way to get all the hosts through Prism Central (v3) APIs?  

In waiting for possibility to deploy VMs from templates with Ansible (see https://next.nutanix.com/ahv-virtualization-27/how-deploy-vm-from-prismcentral-template-with-ansible-nutanix-module-41800), i’tm trying to use cloning, see playbook below.  The demo playbook with same parameters works fine to get cluster info for "{{ prism_cluster }}".The cloning fails with error  :KeyError: 'cluster_reference'What is missing in playbook ?Thx  

As stated in the question, how do I create a template from a VM in AHV?And how do I use the template to create a VM?

 As shown in the picture here, my VM’s UUID is not completely displayed. How can I see the full UUID?Or is there any other place I can view the full UUID?

Hi All ,I had created two VM’s of RHEL7 and RHEL8 in AOS 6.5.2 and while validating the SCSI id’s for disk using lsscsi --scsi_id command for RHEL7 am getting vendor specific SCSI_ID identifier and for RHEL8 am getting NAA scsi_id identifier. Is it possible to get the vendor specific scsi_id identifier for RHEL8. Rhel7 SCSI_ID:   Rhel8 scsi_id:  Types:  ThanksTeja K
