CVM rebuild NX-1065-G5

Hello,I Hope finding some help here, I have a now freshly outdated 3 nodes NX-1065-G5 on AOS 6.5.2 LTS with Starter License, recently a SSD crashed on a node and CVM failed.My nutanix portal is now closed, and documentation access is restricted...Cluster is in production with now no resiliency,I manage to find a new accepted SSD and start the phoenix repair process to rebuild the CVM.CVM started now successfully, wrong management IP after phoenir repair, so I set it up in /etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-eth0 OK, now I can ping it, BUT CVM didn’t rejoin the cluster.What can I do to make my CVM fully operationnal and getting again resiliency ? Thanks you,A desesperate IT guy.

When is CVM and Host maintenance mode needed and why?

Hi My Nutanix Cluster System is in Darksite(no internet) so require to do a Download and bring it to direct upload.I am still confused on why and when do we need to put the CVM and host in maintenance mode? as the upgrade guide did not mention about putting the CVM or host in maintenance mode as per below.ProcedureOn Prism Central clusters, do these steps. Perform an LCM inventory, which also updates the LCM framework. Do not upgrade any other software component except LCM in this step. Upgrade and run Nutanix Cluster Check (NCC) on Prism Central. Upgrade Prism Central. On Prism Element clusters, upgrade LCM and NCC, then run NCC. Perform an LCM inventory, which also updates the LCM framework. Do not upgrade any other software component except LCM in this step. Upgrade and run NCC. On Prism Element clusters, upgrade remaining software. If it has been more 24 hours since the last LCM inventory, perform an LCM inventory. Upgrade Foundation. Upgrade Cluster Maintenance Utilities.

Use the following command:ssh nutanix@<CVM-IP-Address>Step 2: List Available ImagesOnce connected, use the Nutanix Acropolis Command Line Interface (acli) to list available images:#acli image.listStep 3: Copy Image UUIDIdentify the IOS image you want to download and copy its UUID.#acli image.get <Image-UUID>From the results, copy the vdisk_uuid associated with the desired imageStep 4: Download Using WinSCPDownload and install WinSCP, a popular file transfer tool. Connect to one of the CVM IP addresses on port 2222 using the SFTP protocol. Ensure that you use the username ‘admin,’ not the Nutanix CVM username.Navigate to the container and locate the disk image corresponding to the previously copied vdisk_uuid

Nutanix Cluster Deployment Without vCenter

＞This customer requires to do implement the DX380 Foundation Service without vCenter(vCSA).＞Is it acceptable to provide services without vCenter as a service requirement? There should be no vCenter when you provide the service.However, I think there must be some restrictions regarding settings.For example, LACP settings etc.This is because vDS creation is not possible. So, explain to us your service requirements to our customers.
