Deployment Success

Hey guys,I'm trying to use Nutanix Move to migrate some VMs from Vmware to Nutanix, but Nutanix Move requires Virtual Disk Development Kit (VDDK) 7.0.3.1 and, as usual, Broadcom doesn't provide this VDDK to proceed the download. Does someone has this VDDK and can send me?Tks,Marcelo Ortiz

Hello everyone,I am currently facing an issue and need assistance. I am unable to locate and download VDDK 6.0.3, which is required for Nutanix Move to Upload and migrate VMs from vSphere ESXi 5.1.I have already checked the VMware (Broadcom) website, but the minimum version available for download is VDDK 6.7.If anyone has the VDDK 6.0.3 file saved or knows an alternative source for obtaining it, I would greatly appreciate it if you could share it with me.

Hi everyone,We are currently assessing our migration strategy to move workloads from VMware to Nutanix infrastructure. However, we recently noticed that public access to the VMware Virtual Disk Development Kit (VDDK) has been restricted/removed.Given this recent change, we have a few questions for the community regarding how it affects Nutanix Move and our upcoming migration plans: Impact on Existing Integrations: Does this restriction impact any already running or existing VMware integrations with Nutanix Move, or is it strictly limited to new deployments/re-installations? Obtaining VDDK Files for New Setups: If we want to deploy a new Nutanix Move setup today, how can we properly acquire the required VDDK files? Do we need to raise a support case or request direct assistance from Broadcom? Functionality After Upload: Once we manage to source and upload the correct VDDK file into Nutanix Move, will all migration features and functionalities (such as Changed Block Tracking / increm

Sorry for this noob question but in the instruction says VDDK library. When I select the tar file the upload fails. If I unzip the folder I am not sure what file to select. Any tips?

I am setting up Nutanix Move. I need to migrate from ESXi to AHV and am looking for the VDDK. The link in the manual returns a 404 error. Logging in with my Broadcom account doesn't change the result. Do you know where I can find it? https://developer.broadcom.com/sdks/vmware-virtual-disk-development-kit-vddk/latest

So I’m currently in the middle of a Nutanix Deployment and are in the process of setting up our Nutanix Move 6.2 application for our new Nutanix environment.  The goal is to start migration of VMs off our existing VMWare 8 environment.  I noticed that Nutanix Move requires VMware’s VDDK (Virtual Disk Development Kit) in order to safely snapshot, clone and restore VMs for third party developers.Originally I put a ticket in with Nutanix and as part of their KB about setting Nutanix Move up.  It mentioned going to the latest VDDK available on Broadcom’s page and downloading it.  Unfortunately that link no longer works:   So next step was to open a ticket with Broadcom’s support.  Broadcom’s response was the VDDK (Virtual Disk Development Kit) has moved to VMWare’s TAP portal (Technology Alliance Program).  You have to be enrolled with a support contract.  Which I am and just updated my profile to enroll in the TAP program. I later received an email as part of the onboarding process for TA

Hi As learning person to get to know better Nutanix, i am starting my first baby steps :) Downloaded the version of 2024 Nutani CE of this siteWiped config of Aray, recreated back this array, set as bootablestarted up again the DL 360 G9installation works fine , ip ok, and then get error  an expetion was raisedtrracebak most rent call last line 155 in module mainfile root/phenix/gui.py  line 1811 in get paramsline 1835 un guimore 1608, get params from guilist index out of rangescreen is erminating DL 360 specs254 Gb Ram4 * 2 TB disk2 Processors 32 coresWorked fine with VMWARE 7.x Question:is their a newer version from CE available. now the one of download 2024 in this community   

Hi all, I’m looking to replace my server switches and wanted to know what is the best practice surrounding my Nutanix cluster and moving them to the new switch. The hosts currently have 2 NICS connected in Active/Passive. I couldn’t find a document on the best practice for this. Do I need to put each host in maintenance mode and then move both NIC’s to the new server switches or can I just move one NIC at a time and let the automatic fail over worry about it? Has anyone done this before? How did you handle it?

Support / diagnostic informationI also attempted to open a Nutanix Support case. However, because this is a Community Edition lab cluster, the cluster is not listed as eligible for support in the Support Portal.I have therefore collected the diagnostic information locally and am requesting guidance from the Community before performing any unsupported recovery action.NCC health checks completed with:171 PASS 2 INFO 0 WARN 0 FAILA Logbay bundle was also successfully collected from all three CVMs covering LCM, Genesis, Ergon, Mercury, NCC, Prism, Cluster Config and ZooKeeper logs.I can provide specific sanitized log excerpts if needed.

We are preparing to decommission an existing ESXi cluster so we can rebuild it on AHV using Foundation.Referencing this guide as the procedure: https://portal.nutanix.com/kb/22284I have some questions about the process.Step 4 lists "Shut down or migrate all user Virtual Machines (Guest VMs) running on the ESXi hosts. Ensure the only powered-on VMs remaining on the hosts are the Nutanix Controller VMs (CVMs)." Makes sense.Step 5 and Step 6 are stopping the cluster and destroying the cluster. I'm still with you. Step 7 is to power off all CVMs. Sounds good.Then the guide loses me.Step 8: With all VMs (including CVMs) powered off, place the ESXi hosts into Maintenance Mode. From the vSphere Web Client, right-click each host and select Maintenance Mode > Enter Maintenance Mode.Step 9: Disconnect the hosts and remove them from the vCenter inventory. In the vSphere Web Client, right-click the ESXi host and select Disconnect. Once disconnected, right-click the host again and select Remove

We will migrate  all VM  from esx to ahv new cluster form centrall team but we want to create a test environment for test to move service test and experiance 1 node nutanix  HPE gen10 server 1 esx HPE gen 10 server and move service want to run on esx server  where we can find AHC community lastest iso and move ova file ?

i need to unregister cluster from PC that many clusters registered with same thic PC .what will happen to the license of the cluster that i need to unregister , does it need to be reclaimed? or when i register the cluster to another PC it will be exist  same as ? when i do clean up process will it effect on other clusters?

Hi Everyone.I have a 4-node Nutanix NX demo/POC cluster running AHV. After a power outage at the office, the cluster did not recover properly.Initial situation:4-node Nutanix NX cluster Hypervisor: AHV This is a POC environment, so there is no important data to recover After the outage, only the CVM on Node A was active Nodes B, C and D only booted into AHV On Nodes B, C and D, virsh list --all did not show any CVMWhat I already tried:I generated a Phoenix ISO from the working CVM using the AHV ISO and Nutanix/AOS installer package The generated Phoenix ISO is around 6 GB I used that same Phoenix ISO successfully on Node B On Node B, I selected “Wipe data and install CVM + hypervisor” and the node was reinstalled successfully However, Node C and Node D fail during the same Phoenix reinstall processPhoenix error on Node C:tar: /mnt/local/images/svm/nutanix_installer_package-release-euphrates-5.20.0.1-stable-f5e54bf50b9b92d1e27560e422629e322968a3e0-x86_64.tar: Cannot read: Input/output e

Hi, Hope everyone are ok,I have a quick question, is possible to install AHV in 3 nodes that have only 2 SSDsI know that 3 disks are need it, but i tried to use USB to install “H” and “C” and “D” in the other ones.There is some configuration or something to bypass and install in a USB “H”, because i can´t add a third disk in each node,Right now im using it in a nested VM ESXi solution, but is not the same experience… Thanks in advance,

Same as this topic, which was closed despite the user informing that the permissions did not enable launching element: https://next.nutanix.com/how-it-works-22/custom-role-help-45391 I’ve tried various auth policies to try to allow access.
