Deployment Success

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.

It is recommended to disable port 2222 used by Paramiko from within the system if it is not in use.and another issue:The versions of ssh(OpenSSH) software used in the prompt are between 7.4-9.2, and there is a username enumeration gap corresponding to these versions.

Is there anyway to collect multiple VM’s mac address and vLAN & IP details through prism central.

I noticed that the option to retrieve the BOM from the sizer is grayed out. Additionally, when I attempt to modify the cluster settings, I receive a message stating: 'You cannot add/edit advanced cluster filter options for basic users.

I installed CE and can’t install a compatible version of prism central. How can I get access to prism central?

Hello Experts,It is possible to update the cluster to a version of AOS that supports ESXi 6.7 U3. However, we do not have a license for ESXi 7 or 8.We must upgrade and deploy the PC. The current version is 5.20.3.5. After reviewing the compatibility matrix on the Nutanix portal, I discovered that this version of AOS 6.5.3.7 is compatible with ESXI 6.7 U2 and U3. did any one tested that before ?and i would like to deploy PC,PS : this cluster has esxi 6.7 u3 as hypervisor
