Deployment Success

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

Starting now, the Nutanix Developer Portal will have something new. In addition to our blog, API reference and code samples, we’re going to publish an ever-expanding collection of hands-on labs. Aimed at providing ground-up, hands-on experience with building Nutanix-related developer scripts and apps, they will cover the most popular requests from our valuable developer community. Get started with the labs 👉 Labs

The code samples provided here are intended as standalone examples. They can be downloaded, copied and/or modified in any way you see fit. Please be aware that all code samples provided here are unofficial in nature, are provided as examples only, are unsupported and will need to be heavily modified before they can be used in a production environment. Most code samples can be directly accessed from the NutanixDev GitHub code samples repo. Larger samples will be published via dedicated repos when required. Get started with the code samples 👉 Code Samples

The API references shown here are the official documentation for the Nutanix REST APIs. Please use these in conjunction with the code samples, blog posts and lab guides linked here. In addition to the API reference, the NutanixDev GitHub code samples repo provides working code that implements the practices shown in the documentation. You are welcome to use these code samples in any way you see fit, although they will need modification before being used in a production environment. Get started with our product APIs 👉 Product APIs

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!!!

Hi Does anyone here who have migrated VM from ESXI To AHV using Nutanix Xtract tool? THe ESXI does not have a Vcenter .. Ive read that A Vcenter is require to migrate a Esxi VM to AHV..

Hello; When i try to migrate a Vm from Esxi to AHV with Move, the operation is being failed sometimes. Migration Status steps go well until last step "install device drivers". The error is this: "Failed to execute guest command: 'msiexec.exe /i C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\vmware174\Nutanix-VirtIO-latest-stable.msi /quiet' ExitCode: '1603'." My AOS version is 5.10.5. The OS is windows server 2016. I logged in with Built-in Administrator account and i installed VirtIO 1.1.4 manually. I can migrate some Server 2016 Vms but there is a problem about some Vms.
