Deployment Success

Hello,I am a newbie with Nutanix. Recently, at work, we acquired an NX-1065-G5 with 3 nodes.We currently have Nutanix Community Edition (CE) installed on an HP workstation with a 3-node cluster. We would like to migrate to the newly acquired NX-1065-G5. What would be the best way to approach this migration, and how does the Nutanix CE installation differ between the HP workstation and the NX-1065-G5? 

Hi experts,I'm currently facing an issue with one of the nodes in my cluster. Recently, I noticed that a node was marked as "detached from the metadata store" in Prism, and one of its disks is also listed as detached. Prism shows the disk as "Ready to be added," but I'm unsure if the disk is healthy or needs replacement.When attempting to SSH into the affected CVM to verify the disk's status, I found that I'm unable to access the CVM via SSH, although I can still ping it. The other CVMs in the cluster are responding normally. I tried SSHing into the problematic CVM from another CVM in the cluster, but I received a message saying it's unable to connect.The cluster is running on an ESXi hypervisor. I also attempted to open the CVM from the Vcenter console, but nothing is displayed, the CVM doesn’t respond.Has anyone experienced a similar issue or has any advice on troubleshooting this problem? Your guidance would be greatly appreciated.Thank you!

Is there a centralized document that discusses where logs should be for specific  processes through the cluster or is it broken down into each applications documentation?i.e. - I’m installing Prism Central and I want to watch the logging progress for the process that is running.One way I learn is to watch logs and see what the system is doing to try and understand flows but I can’t seem to figure out where exactly to look.Thanks  

Hi TeamI am trying to create a VM in a specified container by using Prism Central V3 API. I am passing the container details in the storage_config → storage_container_reference of the payload. But what i observed that the VM is always getting created in the SelfServiceContainer.I am using Nutanix Community Edition.AOS : 6.5.2 LTSPrism Central : pc.2022.6.0.11Can you please let me know why new VMs are not being created in the specified storage container and instead end up in the SelfService Container despite passing the correct container UUID in the VM creation API payload? ThanksAkash

Hello,I’m somewhat new to Nutanix and have a lot to learn obviously.  I think this is my first post/question.We have an old cluster running a single VM for Prism Central that used to work for a 3 node cluster.  I cant recall when it stopped working.  The cluster is fine, the nodes are fine, Prism portal on each node runs fine.My thought… Q1) Does the Prism Central web service require credentials to start properly (see orange highlight below)?  Maybe I somehow need to reset the nutanix or root passwords that the HTTP service is trying to use/connect?Q2) Any other tips to try to help get PC working again?Q3) Can I simply de-register the PC from the cluster, then try to redeploy a new one or over top of the existing one?  Would that process have an impact on the VMs currently running in the cluster? Prism Central Status from PE = Disconnected Warning : PE-PC Connection Failure Nutanix v5.17.3 NCC v4.40 LCM 3.0.1 I can SSH to the VM A reboot of the VM does not help.  Same conditions afterw

I am doing 4 node AHV cluster decommission. I did all the steps and finally gave cluster destroy and ensure it was destroyed completely. I want to do a factory reset of all the nodes where the hypervisor /CVM configurations like hostname, IP etc will be wiped out. Please let me know the procedure for this. Thanks.

Hello, we are currently evaluating Nutanix as an alternative to esxi. To get some hands on experience with the product we wanted to install it on one of our lab servers. However, I was not able to start Nutanix after the installation. For Installation, I followed the following Youtube tutrial as well as the installation procedure mentioned on the Nutanix documentation.  I keep always stuck on the step where the cluster needs to be started. After installing and booting into AOS, I first run the command `cluster --cluster_function_list="one_node_cluster" --svm_ips= (CVM IP) create` in order to create a single node cluster as mentioned in the video. After executing the command, I only see the following output: Waiting on 10.100.23.102 (Up, ZeusLeader) to start:  SysStatCollector IkatProxy IkatControlPlane SSLTerminator SecureFileSync Medusa DynamicRingChanger Pithos InsightsDB Athena Mercury Mantle Stargate InsightsDataTransfer Ergon GoErgon Cerebro Chronos Curator Prism Hera CIM AlertMan

I am trying to upgrade an old Nutanix cluster managed by Prism Central.  We have done the LCM upgrade and NCC upgrade, however when moving to PC it is failing the Preupgrade checks with the error ‘failed to untar /home/nutanix/software_downloads/prism_central/pc.2022.6.0.10 with ret 2 out err tar:/home/nutanix/software_uncompressed/nos/pc2022.6.0.10: Cannot open:No such file or directory’I can see the files get extracted into the software_uncompressed/nos/2022.6.0.10 folder but they are then getting automatuically deleted which leads me to think something is failing a hash check somewhere.  The same happens with 2022.6.0.11.  Any ideas on how I can resolve this to enable me to upgrade PC?

I recently built a Nutanix CE 3-node cluster on ESXi. The cluster’s up and I want to add a 4th identical node so I can replace node 1 (I have another thread on the disk skew issue I’m seeing there), but the precheck cassandra_ssd_size_check fails when preparing to add the new node (SSD tier on nodes [u'xx.xx.xx.xx'] is not sized to accomodate expected metadata growth on cluster).I wonder if this is a bug because the same NCC Health Check (cassandra_ssd_size_check) runs every hour on the cluster without any problems, and the new node is identical in its disk sizes to the existing nodes.Is there a log somewhere that would tell me what it checked and how/why it failed?Is there a way to verify which disk was assigned to Data and which to CVM boot during install? All of the commands I can thus far locate just tell me info on the virtual disks.

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: Failed to get inventory for source 'vcenterfrbec01.bechard.local'.

Currently, i see that prism java client and other java libraries with version of 4.0.1-beta-1 are dependent on spring-boot (2.5.14). Since it includes many vulnerabilities, is there a version with the latest springboot version or version above 3.0? Thanks

I am preparing for Nutanix NCA 6.5 Exam, can someone tell me Nutanix test drive is free for practice or not?

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.stagefile "/root/phoenix/shell.py line 53 in shell_cmd raise standarderror Standard error : failed com

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?

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.
