Evict VMware ESX node, rebuild with AOS for AHV

I’m new to Nutanix. I’m trying to evict a Vmware ESX node from a cluster to rebuild it with AOS and join to our AHV cluster. Is there a good document on how to evict the node? I found this document that essentially says Select the Infrastructure application from Application Switcher Function, and navigate to Hardware > Hosts . The system displays the List tab by default with all the hosts across registered clusters. Select the target host checkbox, and choose Remove Host from the Actions dropdown menu. Prism pc.2023.4 - Prerequisites for Removing a Node through Prism Central (nutanix.com) The options I have in the drop down are manage Categories and Run Playbook. There is no remove host option.

Does NGT 4.0 for Windows is fully compatible with AOS 6.5.3.7 ?

I have a Windows Server 2022 machine on which I installed the Nutanix guest agent version 4.0 via an executable, as it is a production server and cannot be shut down to add a CD-ROM. However, after installing the Nutanix agent, I tested communication with the CVM and received the result "communication_link_active: false". I installed the agent on another VM with the same specifications by mounting the CD-ROM and verified that it is version 2.0. In the communication test, I received the result "communication_link_active: true". NGT is enabled on both machines, and the AOS version is 6.5.3.7.

Brand New Install. No Web Gui

Hello all! My work uses Nutanix in a three node cluster, but I didn’t have anything to do with setting it up. For my home, I’m installing CE on a Lenovo workstation with a Xeon E-2134 processor, 16 gigs of ram (getting more). I installed the CVM to a 250 gig Samsung. I have a 500 gig SSD and a 12 TB HDD set for data drives. The hypervisor installed to a USB 3 drive. The install didn’t throw any errors, but neither the host (10.3.0.5) nor the CVM (10.3.0.7) have a web interface. Checking those IP’s there’s no port 80 or 443 open. I can SSH into the AHV host, but that’s it. I’m not sure what to do from there. I saw something about running the cluster command from the cli, but the AHV doesn’t have that. I’m sure that I’m missing something basic.

Reduce Prism Central VM size: fewer vCPUs and less RAM

After I tested different features about Prism Central I’d like to reduce the size of the VM. Now the VM has 18vCPU and 70Gb RAM, it’s to much for my normal use. Is it possible to reduce the vm?

Use KEY for CVM and AHV access. Root restrictions apply

There's a security issue I think we should use a KEY-based approach when approaching CVM and AHV. I registered KEY and set lockdown mode, but from AHV to nutanix account You can access it, but the root account does not. Is it only available on the original Nutanix account?
