Deployment Success

We are preparing to migrate about 350TB of data from our existing 3-tier architecture to a Nutanix hybrid solution. Our storage pool is 480TB in size with about 25% SSD before storage efficiency kicks in. We have post-compression turned on as well as cache deduplication. We are going to attempt to migrate 50-100 VM's per night, and we are afraid that we will overrun our SSD tier eventually. Is there a way for me to run a data tiering job, or force the data to destage lower, daily after the migrations are done so that it doesn't impact our future migrations? Thanks in advance

I would like to setup a test environment but I have less memory. I want to know How much memory does CVM need at least？ AOS version is 5.5

Hi Together, How does the nutanix cluster handle failures with following settings: Cluster Redundancy Factor -> 3 Container Replication Factor -> 2 1) How many disks or nodes can fail? 2) Does this settings make sense or should the Container RF always set to 3 when Cluster RF is 3? Thanks for clarification! Kind Regard Steve

Dear All, Currently my Nutanix cluster consist of 3 Nutanix block, 5 node running on AHV 20170830.171 1 block of 3 NX-1065-G5 node 1 block of 1 NX6035-G5 1 block of 1 NX6035-G5 Recently, one of the NX6035-G5 is down due to hardware issue. Somehow, all the VMs hosted on this node not able to auto failover to the others node. Upon checking with Nutanix, we were informed that the failover failed as we don't have sufficient available memory. We were told that AHV will perform the failover for all the fail VMs to one particular node which have sufficient resources to accommodate it; like moving the whole load from the fail node to another node. Previously we are using VMware where it will failover VM by VM to all the available nodes. Anyone encounter similar issue with AHV?

Hi, I am actually doing my end of study internship, My subject is " implementation of hyperconverged infrastructure" I want to know how to migrate VMs from a legacy infrastructure with vmware Vsphere 5.6 to Nutanix hyperconverged infrastructure with VMware vsphere thank you.

We are planning a major migration from existing 3-tier ESXi over to Nutanix/ESXi (AHV to come later). Due to time constraints in our move, we are trying to optimize how many VM's can migrate at one time. VMware has a few well-known limits on their operations: vMotion operations per host (10Gb/s network) - 8 vMotion operations per datastore - 128 Storage vMotion operations per host - 2 Storage vMotion operations per datastore - 8 If I take a "one storage container to rule them all" approach, I will be limited to 8 migrations at once, as long as I spread out my migrations to 4 hosts. My target will be a 14 node cluster, so I would like to push up to 28 operations, if at all possible. Would it be considered a best-practice to carve out 4 storage containers, knowing I'm still in the same pool, and fan out the migrations to get around these limits? My goal is to saturate my 10Gbit inter-datacenter link. Yes, I like to push the limits (break things?). Would the multi-data

Does anyone have a working example?

I’m in the sales process and the customer is asking me about the physical requirements of an NX appliance (particularly, the NX-1365-G6). Where can I find this information? Like power consumption, thermal dissipation, dimensions, etc... I know there are some here, but they don’t list all the products there.

I am not able to discover new node placed in different switch in same VLAN from an existing cluster The issue not able to discover the newly installed nodes in new switch with same VLAN of existing cluster( it is in old switch ) , but not able to discover these new nodes in existing Could anyone help me to give a clue , why these nodes are not able to discover in the existing cluster. I want to expand the existing cluster with these new nodes

Please let me know if there is any reason as why VirtIO is shipped separately?

downloaded Nutanix CE image file from Next nutanix in my local system and uploaded in Ravello cloud via import tool. Once done I have created Ravello application with empty image and booted with nutanix uploaded image as bootable drive and published it. Once login to console It started nutanix installation but coming with error only one core available. Minimum cores required are 2. How do I overcome this error to install. And I don't have options to select cores in Ravello cloud , only options to select are CPU's, Disk's, network,ports. Can anybody help? Or suggestions to start working in Nutanix CE edition and understand console.

Has anyone experienced the X-Ray tests going to 0% but staying 'open'? For the last few days our X-Ray tests have been running to completion but not finishing. As a result the additional tests do not get run. The curie log indicates "exiting _cluster_results_loop" but the tests hang open at 0% and they have to be cancelled.

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.

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?

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
