Everything appears to install fine. I selected the “create single node cluster” option in the installer, and entered my local DNS server.

Hi Trying to install the Nutanix CE on my Dell R620 , I have 3 Drives , 1 SSD and 2x HDD First issue i had as the Nutanix installtion was seeying y SSD as HDD  I fixed that by running the below command :lsblk -d -o name,rotaif it is 1 then it is HDD lsblk to identify the SSD if it is sdasudo sh -c 'echo 0 > /sys/block/sda/queue/rotational' Then the system recognise the SSD.I select SSD as C, and the other two HDD as H and D. Running the setup from a USB drive that was created using RUFUS.Installation proceed but then I get the below error: Fatal imaging thread hypervisor failed to with reason  traceback most recent call last file "/root/phoenix/kvm.py line 112 in image self customizer cutomize.() file "/root/phoenix/customisze_kvm.py line 1304 in customize self.__mount_kvm_partitionfile "/root/phoenix/customise_kvm.py line 137 in ___mount kvm partition sysutil.get_ahv_root_dev self.

I have an old cluster of 4 NX-8035 nodes running AHV used for testing purposes.  The LCM update is failing with sata_dom_wearout_check.  Is there anyway to skip that check when running LCM updates?  This is old hardware and I wont be replacing any parts, just want to get updates to run.

Thank you in advance for any advice. I have checked some other threads but I cant really get a concrete answer. I was looking through the hardware recommendations on this page: https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Nutanix-Community-Edition-Getting-Started-v2_0:top-sysreqs-ce-r.html and it makes it seem that a CE node requires an HDD. Im envisioning building a three node cluster, each node with the same storage layout, all flash:Boot device: 1x 250GB SSDStorage device, hot tier: 2x 2TB SSDStorage device, cold tier: nothing This would comply with the ‘maximum number of SSD/HDD drives per node is 4’ instruction. I dont want to have any HDDs in the installation. Is the drive layout I presented viable? Cheers!

Hi, We’re trying to run a POC initially on hardware that has a ASMB IPMI, this appears not supported for foundation deployment. We’re a bit confused about what we do as the documentation for ipmi-less installations isn’t really clear - any help would be greatly appreciated as its stopping us from doing any initial POC testing. We’ve tried multiple routes to install AHV/AOS but all seem to be falling flat at the moment.Foundation VM is unable to deploy to the IMPI targets, gives the Incompatible error. Does not auto discover targets, IPMI is a ASMB9-iKVM Attempts to manually create ISO on VBOX VM not successful, ISO is created by VM but unable to boot stating a kernel error. Tried multiple attempts at ISO and burning in different ways but no luck at all.

Hi teams,i’m looking for nutanix collections icons for visio or drawio diagrams.Thx

In the past, we have built clusters with metro sync (AHV) at 2 Locations and a 3rd for witness.Customers want to get an infrastructure what can tolerate the loss of one Location.Can we stretch a 3 node Cluster across all 3 Locations, one node in one Location?RTT is less than 5ms.In this case, what network topology is required?

Hello, I have instantiated a new cluster and I can’t seem to figure out why the Network Visualization won’t work for my cluster.  LLDP is enabled on my Meraki switch.

Hi TeamI had a complete working setup of Nutanix Community Edition along with Prism Central deployed. I was able to access my prism central through UI and Rest API for working with virtual machines. But suddenly i was disconnected from my PCVM today morning and was not able to access anymore. I tried to do ssh and logged in through PC UI but I couldn’t. I am able to log into both my AHV VM and CVM. In CVM, cluster status is showing all services are up and running.Referred this KB article but no luck.https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/kbs/details?targetId=kA00e000000CpzXCASCan you please help me here. Attaching the required screenshots.

I’m trying to retrieve all VM and CVM using the following endpoint in PowerShell https://example.com:9440/api/nutanix/v3/vms/listI get all VM information back as requested but unfortunately I’m not getting any CVM and there is no information related to this in the offial API documentation.As far as I understand in version 1 you would get all vms and cvms using same endopint (vm/list)Is there something I’m missing to set up in order to get the controller vitrual machines ? {    "kind"  = "vm"      "length" =  50000    "offset" =  0}

Hello everyoneI am trying to move a VM from my VSPHERE environment to my AHV environment using Nutanix Move. I am able to add the source and target without any problem, but when I launch the migration after a few minutes I get this error: Internal target agent error: 'Error creating target path [ErrStr="exit status 1", Location="/hermes/go/src/libcloud/prism/ahvmountimpl.go:213"] Internal Server Error (error=0x5024)'. Please help me

Hi,while I want to setup my first Nutanic CE i get this ERROR message. I anyone know how I can solve this problem?

Is there any way to create a VM recovery point from a powershell script?

I completed a CE 2.0 install, I can access AHV and CVM from console, but not from the outside network. Do I need to modify iptables or do something specific with the bridge or vswitch? This is a single cluster on an hp dl380 gen9, I am only using 1 nic and my node is on vlan 20 with IPs 10.1.20.20 and 10.1.20.21 for AHV and CVM in my test lab. I have not set vlans on ahv or cvm. If i plug my laptop into vlan 20, I can’t ping or ssh to ahv or cvm. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, If I enable VLAN trunking at VM level, say for example VLAN 100 and VLAN 200. Do I need to assign two different IPs in the same NIC for each VLAN?

I have been working with an HP DL380 Gen9 and have been having issues. I can complete the initial install of CE 2.0 from a USB image, but on the next boot I get the grub rescue screen.I have set the Smart Array to HBA, I have tried all manor of HDD/SSD options and have simplified the install with 2 Crucial MX500 1 TB SSD’s. I have even bypassed the p440ar card and SAS extender and plugged into the SATA connectors on board. I am installing to a 32GB SD Card. I have tried USB 3.0 device installs and changing brands of SD Cards and USB sticks both for install media and boot devices. I have reset the configuration on the machine multiple times. I have set boot mode to legacy BIOS and have unchecked single cluster install. All drives are visible in the installer. There are no timeouts our errors during the install.If I attempt to repair and ls (hd0,mdos1)/boot or any sub directories I get an attempt to read or write outside of partition error.

How will a Redundancy Factor 2 All-Flash cluster with 4 nodes and all of running VMs get impacted when 3 disks get failure on the different nodes at the same time. Are those running VMs on the cluster still running and available to access when this happens? Will all of VMs be unavailable until failure disks get replaced? Will this impact to those VMs which VM data reside on the failure disks? or something else?
