New installation vsphere 6.0U1a CBT issue

Hi all, finally, after a long POC i'm a new Nutanix customer :D I'm waiting N°2 NX-1365S with 6 nodes and the idea is to create a new vsphere cluster version 6 and migrate the existing VM's from the old vsphere 5.5u2. I've just check the Nutanix support page and i see the latest supported version is 6.0u1a build 3.073.146. This version seems to be affected to CBT issue, is it possible to install the correction patch (http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2136854) after the the installation? Or install directly the 6.0u1b? Thanks in advance, and have a good w.end!

Can configure the SSD capacity as an extended memory area in case physical memory is constraint?

Hi All We have a customer whose workload is currently fully virtualized on VMware integrated over a Legacy Three Tier Architecture. Most of their hardware devices is EoL, and after an audit of the infrastructure, we have recommended them to go in the direction of Hyper Converged Infrastructure, focussing on Nutanix They are potentially looking at a configuration of 1TB minimum per node of memory. Is there a work around to configure my SSD as an extended memory area to able to match their requirement? Kind Regards

In regards to deploying ESXi 5.5 or 6.x hypervisor in the field.

In regards to deploying ESXi 5.5 or 6.x hypervisor in the field. The most recent version of Phoenix available for ESXi appears to be 2.0.4. Does that mean I need to download Foundation components 2.0 and not 3.x? Also, the file name for Phoenix version 2.0.4 is "phoenix-2.0.4_ESX_NOS-4.1.1.4.iso". Does that mean it is for ESXi 4.1, and is not supported for ESXi 5.x or 6.x? Thank you.

Upgrade Software "Error while executing HTTP REST request: Could not connect to Genesis"

When trying to upgrade NOS or NCC I'm getting this error: "Error while executing HTTP REST request: Could not connect to Genesis" The updates have already downloaded. This occurs even if I pick a lower version to upgrade to. I'm going from 4.1.4 to 4.5.1.2 (NOS) and 2.01 to 2.1.4. Any ideas? Is there a service I should restart or something? Thanks! Mike

Prism unavailable

Hi all, This morning I tried to log in to Prism only to find it was unavailable. I tracked down which node had the IP of prism (logged into all nodes - there must be an easier way!) but I didn't know what to do to restart it. Anyway, I decided to go for breakfast and it was back up again when I returned, but was down for at least 10 minutes. Can I restart it, should it move to another node? Regards, Nick

BMC firmware version is outdated - how to update the BMC firmware?

Hi all, Our nutanix has been running for a little bit more than 2 years now. Due to changes in our work environment (and the fact that our 3050 nodes started on NOS 3.5) we decided to use the opportunity to perform a field install, and do the upgrade to nos 4.5. We were getting the BMC error for a little while (since we were on nos 4.x). The reimage proces went perfectly but, and I was sure that during the reimage the BMC firmware should have been update, this was not the case. BMC firmware is still version 1.87. NCC is giving us warnings about that. I searched the site, but I can't find the BMC firmware files. Do I need to go get them from the supermicro site (not fond if doing things that way), or is there a nutanix link to the most recent BMC firmware? Some pointers in the right direction would be appreciated Thank you very much kind regards Marino

Slow logon to Prism interface after upgrade to 4.5.0.2

Hi, We have recently upgraded our Nutanix cluster from 4.0.3 to 4.5.0.2 and are noticing slower logons to the Prism interface. Before the upgrade this was almost instant while now it might take up to 10 seconds. Has anyone had the same experience?

is there a way to Remove scsi controller beyond what is available in prism.

I can remove the controller using 'virsh edit' or through virt-manager connected to the host, but those changes do not persist, and Acropolis adds the scsi controller back in when the VM is started.Is there any supported way to do edit VM properties beyond what is exposed in Prism and to have the changes persist?

How do you stop a task that is running (such as a remote site creation).

Hi, Can anyone help me find a way to stop the creation of a remote site. I was told it would take around 10-15 minutes, but so far after 3 hours it is still running at 0%! There is probably some configuration issues on the network, so I would like to fix that up first and try again. For the life of me, however, I cannot find how to stop the task. Regards, Nick
