I have a large number of VMs created with the boot firmware set to EFI. As I understand it, AHV cannot convert "out of the box" The options I have been told include the following:- Use VMware Convertor to perform a virtual to virtual VM conversion to change the boot firmware back to BIOS Use an import tool to bring in the VMDK files over and run a CLI command to accept the UEFI setup Does this sound right? Is there an easier way? Can new VMs under AHV be created with UEFI ?
Hello! Any experience with Nutanix Xplorer tool? I need to install and run this app in order to collect data of a farm of SQL Servers on my customer. I hope to get your feedback and tips.
Hi, I would like to ask if Nutanix support replace SSD/HDD with different capacity. The reason I ask is that I want to keep the certain Hot Data ratio when data growth but without a growth on compute capacity. My concern is that if I just add the NX-6035C could allow me to growth my data, but the SSD may not enough for maintain the ratio of required Hot Data. Thanks.
Hi, I have a standalone ESX 5.1 server with a VM with multiple 2TB (screenshot from WinScp attached below) vmdk volumes. VM is Windows 2008 R2. My Nutanix cluster is running 5.01, NCC 3.0.0.2, AHV 20160925.30 - Starter Edition I am planning to use a Windows 2012 R2 server with WinSCP to get the vmdk files onto the Nutanix cluster container (I have multiple containers) and then use the Image service (via Chrome browser) to upload/convert via UNC to the container. Here are my questions: I'm wondering if there are any limitations on the Image Server when using the Chrome Browser Any potential issues with these vmdk sizes? What is the syntax for the URL to access the Storage Container so I can upload the vmdk without using the UNC? -Figure this one out. In Image Service use nfs://clusterip/Containername/name ofvmdk-flat.vmdk Since I need to upload multiple vmdk files that quite large, can/should I open multiple browsers to get simultaneous uploads happening ? TIA, Gen
Hi all, I have a case open for this with Nutanix Support, however, while I'm waiting... I'm wondering if anyone can explain why in a block that contains 12HDDs and 6SSDs (3-node block), only shows disk statistics for the SSDs and no values for the HDDs in the list (all metrics are 0).
Hi, What is default NIC speed assigned to VM in AHV. Unable to find anyting in GUI.
Hi, We are in need to migrate VMs from Dell cluster to Nutanix cluster. Both are AHV based clusters. What would be the best method to achive this? 1. Creating Protection Domain group and migrate OR 2. Adding Nutanix box to existing Dell cluster and migrate VMs. Rgds, Jitendra Ingale.
Hi, Nutanix box is connected to 10G Brocade VDX6720 & customer network is running on 1G Cisco 2960 X series switch. Is it possible to connect these two switches to give access to Customer of Nutanix box?
I'm working on openstack, we are connecting client hosts through VPN. How do I debug that openstack running in my local, I tried some links but not successful. In which way I go...?
While attempting to upgrade from v4.7.1 to v5.x.x, the pre-upgrade fails with the following error: "Cluster name must be in FQDN format." Is there a way to upgrade the name from "CLUSTER" to "CLUSTER.domain.com" without downtime? Or, alternatively, is there a way to perform the upgrade without making this change/ingoring this message? Thanks all!
I am considering deploying a hub-spoke architecture with Nutanix Clusters at 1-2 Data Centers with Riverbed SteelFusion Hyper-Converged Appliances at the Regional Offices (To Reduce Server Footprint and Optimize WAN connectivity). Has anyone on the board deployed this solution? If so, please elaborate on your experiences... Appreciatively, Dholling "MacMan"
Hello, We have just migrated our entire infrastructure to Nutanix. We are in the process of moving an old file server to a new windows vm. We are running AHV as the hypervisor and are on 10GB ethernet. I am experiencing slow network transfers between these 2 VM's on the same Nutanix Cluster. So bad that the IOPS dont regiser above 300 in Prism. Any thoughts?
