Active Directory configuration fails with "Directory config name is invalid"

I cannot seem to get Active Directory authentication configured and cannot figure out why. After following the directions in the support article "Configuring Authentication" I receive the message "Directory config name is invalid". Here is what I have tried: using the IP rather than the host name, turning off the firewall on the DC, using a different AD host, trying different ports (i.e. 389 and 3268), trying a different browser (firefox and IE), specifying the full directory path (/ou=,dc=,dc=) - nothing seems to work. I just keep getting the error message "Directory config name is invalid". I can ping the DC host from the CVM using the FQDN; firewall issues have been ruled out by turning off the firewall; the LDAP url is typed correctly. My thought is that this feature simply isn't working correctly on 4.1.3. Has anyone else experienced problems getting AD configured properly?

Cluster SSL Certificate

Team, I would like to install SSL Certificate for my cluster. I have 3 nodes in it and I am wondering how many certificates should I request. 1 single certificate for the entire cluster (The CSR will be generated using the Leader, but what is going to happen if the leader changes) or should I request 3 certificates (one for each cvm) ? Many thanks in advance, Regards, Thibaut

CVM network latency on new chips

Have a customer that we just installed new 6035 nodes using the Haswell chip. Found that they had an issue where CVM network latency checks would periodically fail. Inspecting the log with support showed occasional 70ms+ spikes both for CVM-to-CVM and CVM-to-gateway settings. This is a vSphere 5.5 U2 cluster, so we set the power settings for high-performance instead of balanced (default by foundation) and the latency issue went away. We're guessing there is some new ACPI tweaks required by VMware for ESXi. After configuring high performance, the latency between CVMs went from .2 to .3 millisecond average (typical) to more in the .07 - .09 range, and so far we're no longer observing any big spikes.

Hi Everyone, I've planed to deploy Spunk on Nutanix on my Company. But i'm newbie in Nutanix, so I have some question about this: 1. Nutanix have hypervisor which I can use is ESXi, HyperV,KVM... so in my case, I will use Esxi and rehat to install Splunk. it's mean I have install Splunk on Redhat which is running on ESXi, is it right? Can i install Redhat directly to Nutanix server (1 node have 4 server?) 2. About the Cluster, Which is control the cluster on VM Host? Vmware vCenter or Nutanix Prism Central? 3. Nutanix have an OS is VM Controller? is it install on Vmware machine or is it a hypervisor? Thanks for all reply to make my clear this stuff.

Prism UI - time zone and timestamps shown on events

So the hosts themselves have been changed accordingly for the timezone the customer wants, but was wondering, for Prism to show the correct timestamps on stuff being done, would this come from the CVM time zone or where is the setting for the switching PRISM to use the customer specified timezone for timestamps?

Default networking for hyper-v cluster

I'm trying to find out what the default networking setup looks like for a hyper-v cluster. If we were to take a 3x3060 for example, I assume the 10GB ports are teamed and then both added to a external switch of similar? what about the 1gbs ports? if anyone has a couple of screenshots that would help my curiosity... Cheers Dave

Hyper-V/Expanding existing cluster

I can't really find good instructions for this or else I am just not understanding, but if we are adding new nodes to an existing Nutanix AND Hyper-V cluster and therefore are not creating a new storage cluster name and what not, can the setup_hosts script be used in that case? I was thinking from looking at that, it does more than just rename hosts, add to domain, tell it to use 10Gb and reboot. Essentially, I have new nodes with Hyper-V and NOS installed and i know I could easily expand the Nutanix cluster itself from Prism, but for the piece of adding the new hosts to the domain and sucking up into SCVMM, i wasn't so sure. I was initially thinking i would just run the "setup_hosts" script and skip the "setup_scvmm" script (as i am using existing failover cluster from the first blocks installed), however looking at the setup_hosts script, i see it prompts for actually configuring the public address of the SMB share and/or name, etc. I don't really need or want to create a ne

CVM Network and production network

Hi Everybody, I'm new to Nutanix, I'm having my first node installed on Monday so ery excited ! I have the chance to dedicate a Nutanix host for a Lab and will have the time to play around with it. I've seen that 192.168.5.0/24 is a dedicated subnet for the CVM, but this is also the subnet in which my Lab resides. Is it ok to use the CVM and the production VM in the same subnet ? What are the options ? I've been told the CVM network cannot be changed. But is it ok to have the VMs and the IPMI in the same LAN ? For a production environment I can understand that security wise and performance wise, this is mandatory to split the subnets but in my case this is a bit different. Thanks. Cheers. Fred.

Can the Cloud Connect CVM run in a vCloud environment?

With the release of cloud connect, you can backup to Amazon using a CVM running as an instance. Is the CVM cloud agnostic? Can we run it in other environments, such as vCloud Air, Azure or partner vClouds?

Mail Alert Time Stamp and CVM Clock

When we received email alert generated by CVM, the timestamp in the message follows PST time zone (which I believe it is CVM default). Can we configure CVM to use our local time zone?
