Hi guys, I can't seem to perform an inventory on LCM any more. It fails on the check: Check 'test_upgrade_in_progress' failed with 'Failure reason: Another Upgrade operation is in progress. Please wait for that operation to complete before starting an LCM operation.' However after running progress_monitor_cli --fetchall This does not show anything in progress. host list - All 3 hosts show: false (life_cycle_management) - Which is as expected. ~/data/logs$ upgrade_status 2019-09-04 14:47:32 INFO zookeeper_session.py:131 upgrade_status is attempting to connect to Zookeeper 2019-09-04 14:47:32 INFO upgrade_status:38 Target release version: el7.3-release-euphrates-5.10.6-stable-294f5f671ba8982a0199e18b756e8ef3a453af9a 2019-09-04 14:47:32 INFO upgrade_status:43 Cluster upgrade method is set to: automatic rolling upgrade 2019-09-04 14:47:32 INFO upgrade_status:96 SVM 10.x.x.x is up to date 2019-09-04 14:47:32 INFO upgrade_status:96 SVM 10.x.x.x is up to date 2019-09-04 14:47:32 INFO

Dear Friends, I am trying to find out VMs to Storage Container relations using Nutanix REST APIs but not able to get. I have tried both V2.0 and V3 APIs. In 'vms/list' v3 API, we do get "disk_list" for each VM but I do not see these vDisks in 'vdisk' or virtual_disks APIs (v2). Also there is no reference to Storage_Containers in 'vms/list' output so it is difficult for me to find the correlation. Please help.

Using PowerShell and AOS 5.11 and same version cmdlets... I have an AHV VM in the object $VM that I retrieved from Prism Central. I'm trying to retrieve the NIC information but I keep getting an error: PS E:\Scripts> get-ntnxvmnic -vmid $vm.uuid -IncludeAddressAssignments Error occurred while getting NIC list of VM get-ntnxvmnic : The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error. At line:1 char:1 + get-ntnxvmnic -vmid $vm.uuid -IncludeAddressAssignments + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (Nutanix.Prism.Common.NutanixCluster:NutanixCluster) [Get-NTNXVMNIC], WebException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : {"message":"Error occurred while getting NIC list of VM"},Nutanix.Prism.PS.Cmds.Acropolis.GetVMNIC I get a similar error if I specify the UUID (this VM only has 1 NIC): PS E:\Scripts> get-ntnxvmnic -vmid $vm.uuid -nicid $vm.virtualNicUuids -IncludeAddressAssignments For input string: "Sy" get-ntnxvmnic :

I'm exploring the API and noticed that for listing operations (specifically the /vms/list operation) supports providing sorting parameters. I can't find any information on the proper values for the sort_attribute key in the request. Has anyone used this and can shed some light for me? Thanks

Hi Guys I am trying move a VM from my ESXi Environment to my AHV ENvironment using Nutanix Move. I am able to add the source, but it doesnt pick up any VMs and when i run a refresh i get the following error: Failed to get inventory for source(ESXi Name). Please assist

Hi, I am just wondering if you could answer whether Hyper-V clusters should have a quorum disk for the failover-cluster. I cannot find anything with a definitive answer on this - the documentation does not mention it in any way. If it is required or suggested, what is the best way to implement this? Many thanks

Hi all, We are attempting to update our AOS offline (all of our clusters do not have internet access) and we have tried uploading via IE, FF and Chrome to no avail. IE "uploads forever" and Chrome and Firefox say "Server Error" everytime. We are way past due for an AOS update (5.1.0.3) and we are trying to get this done! I have a few other side questions as well -- Is the AOS upgrade process non-disruptive? I saw the KB about updating the AOS and it says the CVMs will reboot, but other than that it should be seamless, correct? We need to update our hypervisor (ESXi 5.5 Patch 10) and need some input there as well if possible here, since we are on a Nutanix node config and posting here seems like the right place. If not, please let me know! We are running a NX-1065-G4 ESXi 5.5 Patch 10 vCenter 6.0 AOS 5.1.0.3 NCC 3.1.3 Foundation 3.7.2 BIOS 2141203 BMC 01.92 LCM 1.0.e1416e5 HBA MPTFW-10.00.07.00-IT Any input on the order of operations

Using PowerShell and AOS 5.11 connecting to Prism Central of mixed hypervisor environment (VMware and AHV), is there a quick way to return just the AHV VM's? I see there are some search string, filter criteria, etc.. options for Get-NTNXVM Right now, there are 1600 VMs and the ones I am looking for are AHV. I can retrieve the whole list from Prism Central but I wondered if I could have it only send a filtered list. $VMList = Get-NTNXVM | Where { $_.acropolisVm -eq "True" } but that reads all 1600 VMs from Prism Central... Thanks!

Good day I have a requirement to POC CloudFoundry platform(cf push). I have tried project-eirini running on Karbon k8s cluster, it works, kind of, BUT it is still on alpha . So it can't use it on Production. I researched a bit further to see if PCF(Pivotal CloudFoundy) can be installed on Nutanix and found there is no support for vanilla PCF on Nutanix. And the journey led me to this > https://github.com/nutanix/Cloud-Foundry-CPI-for-Nutanix-AHV Creating a CPI for CF on Nutanix. I need to know if this is worthy before I can invest time implementing. Has anyone implemented it? Is it production ready? (seeing it is part of nutanix GH repo) Thanks in advanced

I have lots of Protection Domains. I need to keep their schedules straight, prevent overlap, and report the schedules to management. I am not the only admin, so I cannot track the configuration manually. Is there a powershell cmdlet that presents this information? I cannot find it. I want to know the schedule and the replication information(sites and how many to retain). I'm not using protection policies, just old school PD. Thanks, Bill Beavis

All, For info there is a lot of great information, scripts, worked code and examples in the official Nutanix GitHub. Check it out here : https://github.com/nutanix Regards to all Andy @andymlloyd

Hi All I have been asked by my dev team for Windows NLB to be enabled, I have had problems with this in a VMware environment, are there any gotchas, alternatives or tips to get this to work? Many thanks E.

Trying to migrate two Windows VMs with Move 3.2 from ESXi to AHV. in the VM Preparation section after adding the credentials "migration rediness" is Pending and the error message shows "2 VMs are not ready for migration." What would cause the VMs not to be ready for migration? the VMs have in production for several months.

Hi, I`m very new to Nutanix and have a question. Does anyone know if there is a way to list all current snapshots via a script? I`d like to find out if there are any lingering snapshots that should be removed. Thanks for any advice you might have.

Hi All I've rather large number of non-managed and managed networks to create on multiple clusters and really am not willing to be creating them manually. I've created PowerShell script to create non managed networks, that was pretty easy. However, I'm finding it a bit more challenging to create managed networks using PowerShell commandlets. I understand that the command should look something like New-NTNXNetwork -Name "vLAN_Name" -VlanId "vLAN_ID" -ipconfig "IpConfigDTO" I can not find any samples of IpConfigDTO format. I understand that IPv4 default gateway address and subnet in CIDR notation should be provided as values but I can't work it out how. Any assistance would be much appreciated. Cheers

Our CVMs are locked down tight, I have no intention of allowing any internet access to PE, all support actions must be done through a webex session where our admin grants control to the support tech. but I have PC set up for NAT so it can communicate outside our private network. my question is, will pulse work strictly through PC or does PE need to be set up for it? Everything i see documented is about PE talking to insights.nutanix.com.

Looking for a simple script to Power on a shutdown Nutanix VM. Perhaps there is already a thread on this but I couldn't locate it if so. Thanks!!

I am a huge VS Code user, all I do is run my scripts/codes for local/remote/cloud products within VS Code. So I am now trying to get it so I can compile and run Nutanix Cmdlets within VS Code. I am trying to find the neatest, safest and most maintainable way possible without putting at risk the core of PowerShell. I've only found one post where someone has mentioned doing this and it was by installing the Nutanix Cmdlets and copying the contents of the module's folder into "C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules". Maybe possible but there are over 200 items that would need copying into the root of this folder, seems messy to me. Can a sub folder called Nutanix be created for the contents to be copied too? Is there a better way to achieving what I feel be a great tool for all? Advice/support much appreciated 🤓

Hi, I'm relatively new to Nutanix, so I'm still learning the concepts and terms. But I was wondering if it was possible to develop a Powershell script, for the purpose of getting the last logon of Windows 7 workstations running as VM's in our environment. The script would run from a central location on our network, so it would have to access AHV and then somehow be able to grab the last logon time in the guest OS by the user who "owns" the workstation. We determine who owns the virtual workstation, by determining the sole user listed in the Remote Desktop group. We can do this, in VMWware for Windows 10 workstations; but I've been told that it's a little more tricky to develop such a script for Windows 7 running on Nutanix. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated, so that I could get a starting point. Thanks.

IF an admin resolves an alert but doesn't fix the condition, does the alert retrigger? and if yes, how long before it does? Thanks in advance.

Hello, We just received some alerts from our PRISM about the disk firmware. Following the alerts we have to upgrade them. Info : SATA DOM on host XXXXXX has old firmware version: SATADOM-SL 3IE3 firmware version is S560301N. Need to upgrade to the latest firmware version. We know that the upgrade do an upgrade one disk at a time but i've some doubts about the process to use before to click to upgrade. https://portal.nutanix.com/#/page/docs/details?targetId=Web_Console_Guide-Prism_v4_7:wc_cluster_firmware_upgrade_wc_t.html My question is, should we move our VM from the host before to upgrade the disks? should we add our hypervisor in maintenance mode in order to upgrade the disks? Or the disk firmware update has no impact on VM hosted ? Thanks in advance all!!!
