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.

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,

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
