With regards to SQL licencing - how does Nutanix handle the cost per core issue? pertaining to the cost per cpu how does Nutanix solve sql licencing (per core) issue
Hello Everyone! I am using AHV and would like to create a duplicate of my production environment alongside the actual production environment. The point is that we have some highly specialised network software that needs to be tested as though in the actual environment before we actually deploy it there. This software is frequently updated and occasionally an update creates havoc, requiring lots of downtime and restoration of significant portions of the network. So what i am looking for is to have a protected space in AHV that thinks and behaves identically to our production environment (but with no actual interaction with the real network or the internet ... just via AHV consoles.) Thank you in advance for any help you can offer!
What are limitations of different bus type for hard disk i.e. SCSI, PCI, IDE? will there be any performance impact?
Can know impact of SSD failure if each node has 2 SSDs in slot0 & slot1: 1. Slot0 SSD failure 2. Slot1 SSD failure 3. Both SSDs failure (Know this will be CVM failure)
If I add one additional node with 512 GB ram to my existing cluster which consisit of 3 nodes of 256 GB each, how N+1 will be calculated?
Need to know when we say RF2 how many copies of data A will be created? one copy i.e. one primary original data & secondary one. Or one primary orignal data & 2 secondary copies.

Hi all! Is anyone out there running Cloudera in a Nutanix environment? Not just Hadoop, but specifically the Enterprise Cloudera Hadoop implementation. We're in the process of migrating our Production Cloudera cluster to Nutanix VMs and having a host of issues related to disk latency. I'm aware of the Nutanix Hadoop reference documents, but our configuration doesn't quite fit because it started on physical devices, and the existing production configuration would be challenging to change at this point. We're not running YARN yet, still on MapReduce V1, for example, though we're in the process of moving that direction in our dev environment. We have a storage container devoted to our HDFS directories, with virtual disks carved out of it in VMWare, but we're seeing vdisk latencies *averaging* 300ms with frequent spikes to several seconds. Our I/O is very write heavy; Nutanix advised us to disable EC-X, so we did, but no help. We're running RF2 on that container, no deduplication,
Hi,we are running 20 Nutanix Nodes with AOS 5.0.1 and ESXi 6.0 as hypervisor. Normally we using passwordless login to the ESXi host using SSH Keys. So we copy our public key as usual to /etc/ssh/keys-%u/authorized_keys, but after a reboot of the ESXi Host our keys are removed.So I modified the sshd_config on the ESXi host to use multiple authorized_keys- AuthorizedKeysFile /etc/ssh/keys-%u/authorized_keys+ AuthorizedKeysFile /etc/ssh/keys-%u/authorized_keys /etc/ssh/keys-%u/authorized_keys2But even with this config, the authorized_keys2 is also deleted.Can anyone assist me to solve this issue in case of our internal security guidline to use passwordless login.Best regardsMarkus
How do Persistent Reservations work with Hyper-V on Nutanix? I'm asking because with our other "Hyper-V with SMB Storage" clusters, you are not able to use Hyper-V manager on HOST1 to modify VHDs that belong to a VM running on HOST2, as you would expect - Error reads: "Access Denied". However, with Nutanix, we are able to do this and it leads to VHD corrouption upon next reboot of the VM Here is the scenario:[list] Hosts: 5 node Nutanix cluster with Hyper-V (Dell XC hardware) VM1 is running on HOST1 Using HOST2, launch Hyper-V manager (not Failover Cluster Manager). Edit Disk to resize a VHD of VM1. Resize successful (This fails in our non-Nutanix clusters) Using HOST2, check the properties of VM1’s VHD and you will notice that the file size has changed Using HOST1 (where the VM is running), check the properties of the VHD and you will notice that the file size HAS NOT changed Reboot VM1, server will not boot – VHD is now corrupt[/list]Is this a known issue/bug? I understand
Hi all, I just started to write a deployment script for VMs on AHV cloning from a template. Using Sysprep lots of OS Customization is already possible. However, I would like to know if there is a possibility to run a (powershell) script in a Windows 2012 R2 VM on AHV while it has not configured any NIC yet. I know I can easily login via console and start every script I want, but I would like to run it fully automated within my deployment script from my client (for several VMs). Any ideas?
Dear All, Cannot upload image file larger than 5GB via OPENSTACK, stuck at msg " Danger: There was an error submitting the form, Please try again" But when upload via Prism, it is ok. Everyone, have some recommend for this issue? Thanks
Is it ok to install Nutanix Guest Tools in a guest vm template before the template is Sysprepped? I need to deploy a bunch of Server 2008 r2 VMs that will need NGT. I'm aware that it's easy to automate NGT install AFTER vm deployment and I do that for most cases; however on Server 2008 r2 builds there's a techinical limitation that prevents this from working. So I'm wondering if there is anything in NGT that will break if the vm is Sysprepped afterward.
