Deployment Success

Hi all, I have receive my hardware lenovo hx630. I can configure 2/3 with network_crashcard. But the third, I receive a error message : “The mode may be in a cluster...” How can I proceed. Normaly the node are completly new, so there isn’t in a cluster.Kind regards,

Hi, I have a question about exporting BOM.I have troubles when I tried to download BOM. An error show “Cannot invoke "com.nutanix.sizer.persistence.domain.BlockDistributionData.isExistingModel()" because "blockDistributionData" is null”” and download failed. What should I do for fix this problem? Regards,

Hi. I’ve just deployed a new CE instance and configured it to the point where I am accessing the CVM via HTTPS:9440 from a browser. Once I put in the admin username and password, I am of course asked for my NEXT Credentials, the credentials I used a few minutes ago to log in here. Also the credentials I have used for three other CE instances a few weeks ago.As soon as I submit these, I get “Cannot validate the credentials provided” in red and can go no further. Obviously I’ve checked for typos a number of times and am confident the credentials are correct. The only clue I have is from a firewall log that shows the very second I am submitting the credentials, the CVM is trying to access 23.214.153.160 (an Akamai owned IP I believe) and getting a deny (as it should). My question is what is this endpoint, why is CE trying to access it and why isn’t it documented as a requirement to run CE? It is not next.nutanix.com, my.nutanix.com, nsc01.nutanix.net nor nsc02.nutanix.net, the only URLs I

Hi all, We have receive ours 3 nodes based on lenovo HX630. Nutanix are already install on it. I need to configure the network on all node, I found in this community, that I need to use network_crashart. I launch it on two node perfectly and configure the network card, but on the third node, I have a message :This node may be in a cluster. What I was wrong ? Kind regards 

How to add more network interfaces on a nutanix community edition (nested on ESXI)?

Hello Everyone,I have been having some difficulty with installing CE on my Mini PC. The hardware that I am using is a Bosgame Ryzen 7 5700U. It has two 1 TB NVMe, I also have two 64 GB 3.2Gen1 SanDisk USBs that I attached to the PC, where one has the Phoenix iso and the other which is for AHV boot. After assigning the IP information during Node creation and accepting the EULA, The installation seems to be good all the way until it gets to [2402/2430]. It then will show the info log messages seen in the attached photo.The only thing that I have been able to think of t-shooting wise was just to reformat the USB drives and restart the installation process, but the same thing occurs. I did see a post that talked about editing the installer_vm.py file and increasing those values, but it then throws me even more errors ( Attached screenshot of that as well).Any suggestions on what I should try next here? Also a side question, would it be a simpler set up if I used VMware Workstation and part

  Hello, As part of our Metro availability setup (two Nutanix clusters with 10 nodes per site), we plan to implement network segmentation for DR traffic and storage/RF traffic on each cluster. For the DR traffic, the guide suggests you can use a stretched Layer 2 network configuration without requiring a gateway. This is our preferred approach, to have one VLAN/subnet stretched across the sites dedicated to Metro traffic. To set this up, I plan to:In Prism, create the IP pool using half the subnet and specify the service being isolated (in this case, DR). Specify the port group in ESXi to be used for DR traffic. Repeat the same steps on the other cluster, using the upper part of the IP range. Specify the same port group used in step one. Run the commands outlined in the KB below on both clusters.https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Nutanix-Security-Guide-v7_0:sec-network-segmentation-enable-l2stretch-ns2-t.html My questions are:Are my steps correct? Why do I need

Hi all, I'm in the process of creating two new Nutanix clusters and configuring Metro availability for replication. Our network uses a spine-leaf architecture, with 10 nodes on each site. Latency for site-to-site connectivity is under 5ms VLANs can be stretched between sites for seamless failover of all VM workloads. Additionally, I plan to use network segmentation to isolate storage/RF traffic for each cluster. I’m aware the all ESXi hosts need to part of the same ESXi Cluster for a supported Metro Availability configuration.I would like some advice on whether the ESXi hosts should be on the same stretched Layer 2 network or if they can be independent. For example, having ESXi hosts on site A use 192.168.5.0/24 and ESXi hosts on site B use 172.16.2.0/24.Are there any downsides to this approach? It feels more straightforward not to stretch the VLANs for host management networks. Has anyone else managed something similar? Any insights or best practices would be greatly appreciated. Than

HelloWe have a Nutanix cluster that we decomissionned, we want to delete all the storage data before unplugged it, but for some reason after deleting all the VM the storage cannot be deleted because its say there file on it (I check on with winSCP and nothing present on one of the storage, and on other its old snapshot associated with no vm.How can I delete all the stuff within Nutanix?​​​​​​​

Hello community,I’m attempting to install single node AHV server with CVM on bare metal rented from CSP. The hardware compatibility is confirmed from the AHV HAL. Following the guide, I was able to complete the installation however the networking isn’t getting configured correctly. Seeking help in debugging and resolving the issue. Issue: After installing Nutanix Community Edition (CE) 2.0 on bare-metal, the network does not get configured correctly. Inbound and outbound connectivity with AHV & CVM not working.Procedure Followed:Downloaded the Nutanix CE 2.0 ISO: phoenix.x86_64-fnd_5.6.1_patch-aos_6.8.1_ga.iso. Installed using IPMI interface on the physical server. Uploaded the ISO and followed the bare-metal installation instructions outlined in the official deployment guide: Nutanix CE Deployment Guide. During setup, configured the IP and gateway details for both AHV and CVM. The following were assigned: AHV: IP:  (Public IP) DNS: 213.186.33.99 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

i installed community edition on a no internet access network on a vsphere VM.Now i cannot bypass NEXT credentials page So,I added another nic to the VM on the internet VLAN, and I assigned IP and mask and added a route. I cannot still access internet, and the CVM itself cannot detect any of this changes. Any idea how to fix this? and how can i bypass this NEXT page if i dont have internet access allowed? thanks

Nutanix external networking seems to be broken. I’m installing on a dell R730 with multiple networking cards and LOM ports. I can only get to the system via idrac. I can't seem to ssh to ahv or the cvm. I can't browse to http:// management_ip_addr either. I have no way into the system other than idrac.Internal networking seems fine. I just can’t go external (ex. ping gateway) My thought is that there is some sort of disconnect between the virtual networks and the physical ports. For example, in VMware you need to select the right physical port for your virtual management network. I reinstalled 4 times on bare metal and don’t have any instructions wor selecting physical ports. 

I am trying to stablish ssh connection using PUTTY, cluster virtual IP, Nutanix user login and password. But I got “Access denied” Could you suggest any guidance on how to grant access to CMVs though SSH?

Hello everyone,I am currently experiencing a recurring issue with my Nutanix cluster: every day at exactly 9:35 PM, the cluster crashes and then restarts a short time afterward. Once it comes back online, the system automatically initiates “Repairing metadata for node…” tasks on all three nodes.While checking the logs, I noticed the following events:Power on VM after failover recovery Multiple service restarts of acropolis,anduril,aplos,aplosengine,catalog,clusterconfig,delphi,ergon,flow,lazan,minervacvm,uhuraacropolis, anduril, aplos, aplos_engine, catalog, cluster_config, delphi, ergon, flow, lazan, minerva_cvm, uhuraacropolis,anduril,aplos,aplose​ngine,catalog,clusterc​onfig,delphi,ergon,flow,lazan,minervac​vm,uhura across all CVMs. The most recent crashes for these services occurred on January 8, 2025, between 9:31 PM and 9:34 PM.Has anyone encountered a similar behavior or have any suggestions on how to resolve this recurring crash?

Trying to migrate a Server 2008 R2 server, and when I try to do a manual migration and run the script on the server, its saying its not running a supported OS.   Support is trying to help, but we really aren’t getting anywhere, and I’m running up against a hard deadline to get this server migrated.

Hello everyone, I have been trying to deploy Nutanix CE 2.0 in VMware vSphere - I am using 3 VMs and the idea is to make a lab environment to test the services that Nutanix offers. I hit on a rock with the creation of the cluster. First I noticed not enough CPUs were allocated for the CVMs, I now have 4 vCPUs for each CVM, the storage is 64 GB, 200 GB and 500 GB for each VM. My services weren’t coming UP and I got error from Medusa service about a Cassandra failure. I checked that an NTP server problem may be behind this error. I wanted to destroy the cluster in order to start again and add an NTP server to the cluster itself. Well, I am stuck now on “Destroy is in progress on the nodes: [cvm1, cvm2, cvm3 ip addresses] for more than 4 hours. I cannot either start the cluster, now that it is in “stopped” state, I cannot cancel the destruction and I cannot create any new clusters… Some services are still staying UP like Zeus, Xmount, Scavenger, but the others are DOWN.I tried various com

This has been an effort in patience. I have 4 HPE Gen10 DL360s, all with the exact same hardware config, same firmware, same everything yet every one of them has presented me with a different challenge when installing CE. This particular server will not get past INFO Removing the marker file.   My research has not turned up anything yet. I’m installing from phoenix.x86_64-fnd_5.6.1_patch-aos_6.8.1_ga.iso Thanks

What is the relationship between ntnx0 and the Backplane LAN?I’m running CE with 1 node, but plan to add a second at some point.When I attempt to configure the Backplan LAN I get the error:Error while creating Backplane LAN: Failed in cluster setup validation with error Minimum 3 nodes required in clusterDo I need 3 nodes to investigate how the Backplane LAN works?Really looking for how to isolate ntnx0 in a VLAN on br0 separate from AHV and CVM management network (VLAN).

Hello,I've already created a cluster using the command cluster -s x.x.x.x create and I'd like to add a second node to this cluster.I've also seen that some people have an “expand cluster” tab in the hardware section of prism element, but I don't have it.If anyone has encountered or knows this problem, I'm interested in the solutionI'm available if you have any further questions or need supplements, thank you in advance for your help.

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is commonly used for monitoring and managing network devices. It enables administrators to gather data about network performance, system uptime, and much more. In this article, we'll go over the steps for setting up an SNMP server on a Rocky Linux machine, enabling SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 for enhanced security.Step 1: Install SNMP PackagesTo get started, you need to install the net-snmp and net-snmp-utils packages. These packages provide the SNMP daemon (snmpd) and tools like snmpwalk for querying SNMP data.Run the following command to install the required packages:sudo dnf install net-snmp net-snmp-utils -yStep 2: Enable and Start the SNMP DaemonOnce the SNMP packages are installed, the next step is to enable and start the SNMP daemon (snmpd). This allows your system to begin listening for SNMP requests.Enable SNMP to start on boot:sudo systemctl enable snmpdStart the SNMP daemon:sudo systemctl start snmpdStep 3: Configure SNMPNow that SNMP is runn

Building a (3) node Nutanix Cluster for HomeLab/Education/Migration away from VMware.  Hardware:(3) HP DL360  w/  (3) NVME devices:(2) Samsung 256GB NVMe(1) 3TB Oracle/Samsung F320 NVMeCan successfully build the cluster and consumes the 3TB F320 devices correctly but also consumes the spare capacity from the CVM (marked at install) SSD.The norm is to consume all available SSD space but in this case I am concerned about wear level on the CVM marked SSD where the F320s were designed for high PBW.My preference is to only use the F320s for all storage operations and “block” the CVM spare capacity from being used in the default storage pool. Thank you in advance!
