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

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.

Can Windows 2013 server on AHV disks be reconverted to SCSI after being migrated with MOVE from VMWare ESX?

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!

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.

IPs are not conserved for more than one adapter when moving VMs from VMWare on Nutanix to AHV with Nutanix Move 4.6

Hello,We are moving VMs from an existing Nutanix cluster with VMWare to a new cluster with AHV using Nutanix Move 4.6 (last version). The problem is that for VMs with more than one network adapter in use IPs are not assigned most of the times to network adapters after the first one. This is happening for VMs running Windows 2016 but I have not checked if the same thing happens por Linux or other Windows versions but I bet it does. For this cases, Move configures those interfaces to get their IPs via DHCP. I read an old post about this behavior but applies to an older version of Nutanix Move (https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/kbs/details?targetId=kA07V000000LWejSAG). Is anyone experiencing the same problem? Am I missing something? Thanks in advance

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.

Space reclaimation in storage containers when VMs have been moved to other storage container

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

VM Disk Greater Than 2TB Issue

We’re running 2 clusters which are pretty much configured the same running ESxi 7.02 AOS 5.20.4 LTS both running on nutanix hardware. One cluster is totally fine no issues but the other you cannot create a virtual disk greater than 2Tb! The issue only came to light when we had to move a VM off to another non-nutanix host for a few days then when we went to vmotion it back it errored complaining about the disk being greater than 2Tb, it is its nearly 6Tb as its a fortinet analyzer. I’m pretty sure when the VM was sat on the nutanix cluster its disk was greater than 2Tb and it was thin provisioned with a capacity of 7Tb when it was created! So you can’t move anything to any of the datastores that are greater than 2Tb and you also can’t create a new disk greater than 2TB. Also if you take a look at the datastores details it says maximum VM disk size 2TB, on the other clusters datastore it says 62Tb. It's getting to be a bit of a pain as the fortinet analyzer is sitting on a box we want
