I have been banging my head against the wall for the last week with the same issue described here: https://serverfault.com/questions/843346/windows-2016-rras-installation-initialization-hangs I was so excited to see someone had the same issue, however, their resolution won't work for me, unfortuantely. Or maybe it will, that's why I am here. Has anyone here had the same issue? Were you able to install different NIC drivers to resolve the issue? Or how did you resolve the issue?

all - how to use a VMs console if both Master and Subordinate nodes serve out? Thanks !

Hi guys, I'm still digging to give corrects answer to my manager who is puting pros and cons for nutanix on the table. As I need to make a design without knowing exactly where he want to go, I'm making assomption on it. I understood that they wanted to put NSX on it VRA and vCloud SP. I've found a couple of recommandations / tips on NSX over NUTANIX but nothing that can be used on design part (more on implementation which is quite cool !) Do someone have integrated it on a 4.5 cluster ? do Nutanix plan to give us a technical note / any other cool stuff on NSX ? sheers,

HI, Can somebody help me to know that if I want to implment Cisco Iromport Virtual Appliance on Nutanix AHV ,Is it possible in AHV ? The Virtual Appliance is curently available in OVF .

Hi everyone, I'm struggling to find some documents about how ahv manages the virtual machine's ram. As far as I know, it doesn't share ram among vms....but, for example, what about overhead? Is it necessary to consider some overhead in addition to guest ram?Thank you all

From where we can download AHV-20160925.30 ISO?

Hi I am an absolute noob so please be gentle to me. Can I know if Nutanix supports applications built that run on Red Hat Enterprise Linux? Basically, I have many applications that run on RHEL 7 that I am in the process of virtualizing using RHEV. So when I googled and saw this article below I was curious if Nutanix really supported RHEL and RHEV? http://www.computerweekly.com/news/2240173672/Nutanix-supports-Red-Hat-KVM-in-upgraded-storage-stack-hardware-and-OS Can someone confirm?

Hi, As per SAP Note 2428012 - SAP on Nutanix (Version 10 from Mar 15, 2017 in English), it states that " HANA Support As of now, no Nutanix hardware is certified to run HANA workloads. However, if you wish to leverage a fully supported solution for HANA alongside Nutanix, only a Bridge to HANA solution is supported. For more information". Whats the latest new on this, is HANA supported now, if yes can you please let me know the SAP note or any source assosiated with it Regards Sreeram

How to change VLAN of VM created in AHV?

Hi how can i monitor the reason of Container Deployment stuck on kRestarting state

This is really weird, every night we are getting veeam one "Heartbeat is missing for VM" alerts from every guest in our protection domain, in a chain, by host. For instance, one host starts at 6:30pm and is all resolved by 8:50pn, then the next at 12am and resolved by 5am, then the last at 8am and resolved by 820am. We don't have backups going at 6pm (they start at 😎 and the snapshots go all day, hourly, so it can't be those causing it. Seems like some sort of nightly maintenance on the hosts that would be causing the issue. Any idea where I could look to see those logs?

My customer reported that in their test, the CPU Usage of AHV VM always consumes 10% higher than ESXi so I am going to find out what is the most suitable reason behind this problem I have searched around and find out this blog below that having a paragraph pointing about hypervisor bottleneck: "The Nutanix Controller VM (CVM) runs on top of multiple hypervisors and delivers excellent performance, but there is always room for improvement. With our extensive experience with in-kernel and virtual machine based storage solutions, we quickly learned that the biggest bottleneck is the hypervisor itself." http://www.joshodgers.com/2017/06/29/whats-next-2017-ahv-turbo-mode/ Is this AHV hypervisor bottleneck or ESXi problem? On the other hand, I have tested by myself on the scenario in which I

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, c

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).
