Deployment Success

Hello, anyone can help me ? i have problem on my nutanix ce, i cannot login to my prism, it just processing like in my pics.  

I was able to successfully overcome the lack of the proper igc modules for my Intel 2.5 gbps nics on my protectli homeserver (like a NUC but not).  The blog here helped, and I simply downloaded the igc module from Satoshi’s site.  But now the problem is I restart the installer with “./ce_installer && screen -r”, but it fails with the following error that makes it sound like it is upgrading versus installing for the first time.  Following is picture of the error:   Is there way to signal this is as a first time installation?  Should I wipe all the disks in my system before doing the install?  (The disks are currently part of a Ubuntu KVM install that I assumed could be be blown away by the Nutanix installation.)Thanks in advance for any tips.

Hi, is there anyway to disable ICMP timestamp request remote disclosure on nutanix? Or is there any articles that states that this is necessary for nutanix functionality.

Am trying to create dashboard portal for our Monitoring Video wall. One page showing what’s going on Nutanix without logging in to the Prism Central infrastructure dashboard. Just like VMware Aria Operation works.

Long story short we are swapping over to newer Nutanix chassis and replacing a few nodes. The previous tech had issues imaging the new chassis. However, in the prism hardware tab, the chassis is present (i think the previous tech was able to get it added somehow despite previous issues). I was able to go through foundation and get the new chassis nodes imaged and ready to be added back to the cluster, but the information remains in Prism and we cannot remove it. The new nodes show up when we select the expand cluster option, but the information (host ips, etc.) matches what is already in Prism, so it cannot be added. We are using a 5.x AOS and cannot upgrade.We need a way to forcibly remove the stale information regarding the nodes that is still present in the cluster. So far we have tried the following with support and are hoping someone has possibly seen something like this before. We tried removing the nodes through Prism, but the 1st node we tried to remove is showing the meta data

Attempting to install Nutanix CE on home build system for home lab. Running into issues finishing the installation. When the installer attempts to create a virtual machine it’s unable to find the KVM kernel module and it doesn’t look like qemu-kvm is actually preinstalled on the ISO. After the installation fails and kicks me into a fallback TTY I attempt to load the KVM module with no success due to it not being installed. After installing qemu-kvm I’m unable to get back into the installer to finish the installation. Seems like an oversight in the latest ISO? Any assistance on this would be greatly appreciated. Attempting to install on bare metal.

Hello,I am writing to inquire whether PRISM Central supports the same REST APIv3 webhooks as PRISM Element.

What is the best way to rebuild a single node cluster to a 5 node cluster with all the VMs intact with minimal downtime?

I am trying to get the WInPE drivers so I can support our virtual device hosted on a Nutanix system.  However, every link directs me to the Nutanix support page where I have to activate my ID with a licence code or serial number.  I am the consumer of the system, I have none of these values, and my server team who might have these will not give me the codes.  What can I do to get the drivers I need so I can do my job and test our OSD processes with a Nutanix VM client?

Hi everyone, I was looking at the documentation and the switches recommended by Nutanix itself:https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/solutions/details?targetId=BP-2050-Physical-Networking.html Is there any reason why no Extreme Networks switch is on the list? Some clients have requested that the provided equipment be on this list, but there are some very similar (if not fully compatible) models with several Extreme Networks devices, like the Extreme Networks 7520-48Y or Extreme Networks 8520-48Y.Is there any reason for this? Or is it simply because someone needs to approve it from either side?

After completion of foundation of new Nutanix nodes, what are the steps & network configurations required for AHV & shifting the nodes from L2 switch to L3 switch / core switchPlease let me know the sequence . Thank you.

Hi all,First time posting, a little background on me and my environment. I am a VCP and have been doing VMware virtualization for the last 20 years. I have 2 Nutanix blocks at home loaded with 3060-G7’s. It’s a pretty nice setup (It went out of warranty, so was given to me to take home, so pretty lucky there.) So I got it all loaded up with community edition and everything was running smooth. I bought a new Uni-Fi 10gb switch for home, as well as a plethora of other unifi products. Here is where I fouled up big time:I set up link aggregation Active-Active on my only vswitch. After changing it, I realized I didn’t have any SFP’s for my switch. So I connected them to my UDM-SE. I assumed my UDM-SE supported LACP, but it did not and it threw my entire network into a frenzy. I eventually figured out that having the blades plugged into my UDM-SE, with LACP enabled, was causing a lot of routing confusion (which took my own home network offline for sometime). Next bad decision, I deleted the

Anyone among us tried to install CE on Dell R720 ? 

I have been trying to install Nutanix CE on a bear-metal machine (homelab) to day but it constantly fails. It seems that the culprit is related to instsvcdrv.service not being able to start. I’ve recreated the USB drive for a few times with various drives but the behavior is the same.It’s probably something else hardware related but I can’t pin point it.The system is a AMD 7950x with 96GB RAM and 3 x 990 PRO NVME drives which worked fine with Proxmox. 

I’m attempting a new installation of CE. The installation itself completes with no apparent errors but I can’t connect to either the AHV or CVM IP’s assigned during the install. The onboard server NIC is a four port HPE 331i which has a Broadcom chipset. Three of the ports are connected to the same network vlan that the IP addresses are tied to. I have tried trunking them on the switch side, leaving them all on as individual ports and enabling/disabling each so that only one connects at a time and have had no luck with any of these strategies. I’ve tried to log into the console of the CE server but haven’t been able to find credentials that work. Any ideas would be much appreciated since I’m so close to be done hopefully.

I’m having trouble with network connectivity on a new installation of CE. The FAQ on this site says to login as root and run a command to repair the installation but I can’t find a listing for the root password.
