Hi



I’m trying to find out if anyone has tried or is running SAS Grid on Nutanix?

We have a SAS consultant working with us but they have no experience of running SAS on a Nutanix cluster.

Any information would be gratefully received 😃
I've been part of running a proof of concept SAS-grid cluster on Nutanix. The results were good. It definitely helped having more than one vdisk on each of the VMs. I would speak to your local Nutnanix rep, there are internal resources that could help.
Thanks, I will contact our sales engineer.Have you virtualised the grid nodes ?If so how have you dealt with the shared storage for the grid nodes ?

Hello my name is Arthur Perkins, I work in the Nutanix Support organization, I'm checking with a couple of teams to get some contact information for you.



If you'd like you can DM me your contact details, and I can pass them along.





Cheers,

We did for the POC and used iSCSI shared volumes.
Thanks, I've spoken to our Nutanix SE and he's collecting information Regards running SAS Grid on Nutanix.
Hi,

We are deploying SAS Viya (MPP) on A Nutanix Cluster could you share your experience with SAS Grid Deployment ?

Hi,

Due to the fact we couldn’t get a validated deployment from Nutanix and no support from the third party at the time of deployment. We ended up running SAS Grid on a Physical 3 tier cluster sadly. 

I think things have now changed. Please see the link below
