Deployment Success

Derek Seaman blogged about the now renamed Move 3.0 on his site. https://www.derekseaman.com/2019/03/nutanix-move-3-0-formerly-xtract-for-vms-now-ga.html Here is the crux...New to Move 3.0: Move services are now Dockerised and all Move and Move Agent Services now run as Docker Containers. Architecturally, this is an important milestone as we “servicify” move and provide the ability to add/update features without much service disruption as well as providing flexibility to run Move anywhere. GA release of Hyper-V as a source, adding to source list of ESXi and AWS 1-click upgrade of Move. (Support for dark sites ​is coming) Further enhancements to User Experience for Large VM migration with enhanced status updates on the UI Support for a Mixed mode of Source VM set

Hi folks, I would like share with us the powershell script that use here in my company, this script do inventory of vms that run in nutanix environment AHV and collect the information like : name,servicevmexternalip,hypervisorFullName,blockModelName,cpuModel,numCpuSockets,numCpuCores, after collect we can export in csv and HTML to send by email Link to script: https://github.com/joaocsjr/powercli/blob/master/ntx-invetory1.ps1 Regards, Joao Castro

I used an older version of Move back in September to migrate out ESXi VMs to AHV, and now with the GA release of Hyper-V with v3.0.2 I figured I'd give that a go. I just deployed 3.0.2 and attempted to add my Hyper-V box and it connects, however, it's not inventorying any VMs. I have 6 running VMs on this box so I'm not sure what the issue is. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Please help: When we have couple of vdisks in Volume Group can we delete that Volume Group? If yes, what happens to the vdisks which are already in that deleted volume group?

I am looking for a solution to change the web GUI password of the user nutanix in Xtract 2.0.3. In the doc I only see how to change it during the first login. I have already opened a ticket with support. But there I was told to redeploy the Xtract VM to change the password. This is not really a solution for me to spend all the time again to have all configured just to have another password. Can someone help me with that?

Hi, Shouldn't this work? code:[root@mlnsrvmon01 scripts]# snmpwalk -v 3 -l authPriv -a SHA -A secret -u user -x AES -X secret1 10.21.1.10 -m /usr/share/snmp/mibs/NUTANIX-MIB.txt clusterNameNUTANIX-MIB::clusterName = No Such Object available on this agent at this OID

Does anyone know of a way to adjust the Gateway Timeout setting?

While creating the VM, is there a way to change the boot sequence? If no, how does Nutanix boot up the loaded image iso?

If we use the ESXi/Hyper-v as the Hypervisor, does the Satadom will be formatted(Removing AHV) and then install ESXi? What happens to CVM in this case? Any manual operation is required?

I'm having an issue disabling client authentication via REST API. Here is my code: code:$disableauth = @{ value='false'}$disableauth = $disableauth | CovertTo-Jsontry { $r = Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post -Uri https://clusterip:9440/PrismGateway/services/rest/v2.0/authconfig/client_auth -Headers $head -ContentType $content -Body $disableauth } catch { $_.Exception.Message; } When I run this command, it gives me an error of "request aborted: could not create SSL/TLS secure channel". I have a similar call I use to enable authentication, which works without issue.

Please help me with the following: Where do the AOS sit? Is it inside the CVM or on the SATA DOM? Is AHV created when the AOS is installed or vice versa

I need some help. I have a HP DL380 G& that I am attempting to install the Nutanix Community version on and I have verified the hardware. I have I 240GB SSD in slot on. I have 4 500GB hd in the next 4 slots. I have put the community version on a flash drive to install. I can boot to the USB, I can tell it to install, but it then fails with the message that it can not find any drives. I am new to your program and need a little help

Hi all. I have read the document about the different failure scenarios. For me it is still not clear, what really happens, if the data resiliency status is still critical and another node fails. In the doc I read this: With two sets of physical disks that are inaccessible, there would be a chance that some VM data extents are missing completely. In our starting time when using Nutanix (version 3.x) I remember our Nutanix partner was telling me, in such a case the cluster stops to make sure data keeps consistent. Do I have some UVMs that are not working any more correctly or is cluster stopping and all UVMs are stopped? Thank you very much. Kind regards, Stefan

Hi, I've been trying to get access to PE Health Status (e.g. Failed, Warning, etc) via CmdLets or REST API with no much luck. Any ideas? Cheers, Manuel

Hi We're trying to move a couple of servers from AWS to out Nutanix cluster. I keep running into "access denied" to various resources on AWS when trying to add it as a source. What are the minimum permissions / role for the IAM account?? Does anyone have a custom policy in JSON format?? thanks

Has anyone upgraded to AOS 5.10.3.1 yet? Have you experienced any issues? We are trying to determine if we should upgrade to AOS 5.10.2 or AOS 5.10.3.1...any feedback would be appreciated.

Hi guys..Is it possible to customize/deploy an already created sysprepped image in nutanix via the script engine?Its not that well explained in the kb.. Or i have not found the correct kb.I want to deploy patched images based on a XML unattendede file if possible.I really like the VMware customization options.

Hi All, Is it possible that we add a G6 node to an existing Nutanix Block running 3 1065-G5 nodes? or we will have to add another Nutanix block containing a single G6 node and make it part of the existing cluster?

Dear contributors, We have purchased Nutanix appliances and I am working as part of the IT Security team. We have enforced the security settings on CVM and AHV (STIG, banner, ...) and, as part of our duties, we carry out regular checks to make sure that the security settings have not been altered. For this, we would like to have nominative accounts which are able to connect through SSH and be able to check on the settings of the components. Is it possible to do? If yes, how can we proceed? Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hello All, I’m quite new to nutanix, I have a question: Can we add three different hypervisor nodes in a single Nutanix cluster. ex:- if we have three nodes with below hypervisor Node 1 - Esxi Node 2 - AHV Node 3 - Hyper-v So can we add these three servers in nutanix cluster??

we have a nutanix appliance with the following disk config per node 2* 960 GB ssd 4* 1TB HDD Are we able to add 2 extra 2TB HDD disks or do we have to stick with the 1 TB disks?

What if we are adding a new Node to our existing Cluster, how we get Hypervisor(ESXi) and CVM(AOS) get configured so that it's visible in Prism Console for expansion.

Is it possible or am I wasting my time right now? I have configured (hopefully correctly) snmp v3 and lldp.

We just set up AFS. On the home directories, we expected that like a Windows home directory setup, the user would be the only person able to view their home folder. (and Domain Admins of course). But, on AFS per this doc https://portal.nutanix.com/#/page/docs/details?targetId=Acropolis-File-Services-Guide-v20:Acropolis-File-Services-Guide-v20 and also per our experience it seems like ALL USERS can view everybody's folder and contents. This seems like a security problem since HOME directories are typically expected to allow only the user to view their data. Is this by design? It seems like a significant security challenge and much different from how this would typically be set up on a Windows file server.

Hi, I am not able to get Data Resiliency status using Rest api version v2.0. I see for v1 it is https://server_ip:9440/PrismGateway/services/rest/v1/cluster/domain_fault_tolerance_status Using v1 as well I am not able to get this metrics value. Please help us in getting Data Resiliency status using Rest api version v2.0. Regards, mallikarjuna
