I have just completed the initial deployment for the Nutanix-CE on a Single Node. Upon running cluster status command i see several services are down. Attached is a log, can anyone point me in the right direction.  nutanix@NTNX-6c98f74b-A-CVM:10.0.250.91:~$ cluster -s 10.0.250.91 --redundancy_factor=1 create2024-05-30 03:12:58,346Z INFO MainThread cluster:2943 Executing action create on SVMs 10.0.250.912024-05-30 03:13:01,416Z INFO MainThread cluster:1007 Discovered node:ip: 10.0.250.91        rackable_unit_serial: 6c98f74b        node_position: A        node_uuid: 56b8d0d2-5fb8-4f69-9630-3b2c8a3938b22024-05-30 03:13:01,416Z INFO MainThread cluster:1025 Cluster is on arch x86_642024-05-30 03:13:01,417Z INFO MainThread genesis_utils.py:8077 Maximum node limit corresponding to the hypervisors on the cluster (set([u'kvm'])) : 322024-05-30 03:13:01,424Z INFO MainThread genesis_rack_utils.py:50 Rack

Hi Everyone, Does anyone have output of below two OS commands of RHEL 9 machine in Nutanix prism central. lsscsi --scsi_id sfdisk -d /dev/sda I don’t have any RHEL 9 test VM in my prism just wanted to know the output to play around some project. Quick help is appreciated.

I have expanded the existing block by adding two 1065-G8 nodes, each equipped with three HDDs and two SSDs. However, the new nodes, along with the HDDs and SSDs, are not being recognized, and there appears to be no power supplied to them. I am currently seeking Nutanix documentation on hardware installation but have not found relevant information yet. any idea?

Hi AllIf the system can recognise that the space is low, why can it not be programmed to do its own housekeeping and clean up?  I find it irritating and time consuming doing something that should be automated.  Or am I missing something?  Has someone already created a script or process to fix this? Thanks in advanceEric 

Hi Everyone,In case of scenario like had a Source VM (name:TestVM) and cloned a new VM from the source VM and named cloned VM (name: TestVM) same as Source VM (name:TestVM). Now will i be able to poweron both the VM’s at once ? 

Hi all the expert,I’m completely new to Nutanix.I tried to install the Nutanix Community Edition onto my existing rack mounted HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 server, so I followed this YouTube video, but it’s definitely outdated, since the links shown on the video are different to the download links available from the post from 3 years ago (created on 29th September 2020) So I have downloaded the installer ISO (version ce/2023.03.01/phoenix-ce2.0-fraser-6.5.2-stable-fnd-5.3.4-x86_64.iso) and nothing else, since the other download links are for Windows, but my purpose is to install Nutanix itself onto the host directly to replace ESXi completely, so I thought the VirtIO for Windows ISO and AHV Plugin (.msi files) are not really applicable in my case.So it get stuck at the getting

Trying to setup a four node Nutanix cluster. All nodes are identical, including the BIOS settings. Three nodes will not start the CVM, seemingly due to not being able to pass the pcie SSD to the VM.

We have an issue with backup snapshots getting stuck on our cluster, and of the many ways we use to find these, one of them is running the command:nuclei vm_recovery_point.listI was hoping to start down the path of automating the discovery of these recovery points using Ansible.  However when we run the nuclei command via Ansible, we get this error:            "E0724 14:10:07.661153Z   15562 jwt.go:82] ZK session is nil",            "2023/07/24 10:10:07 Failed to connect to the server: websocket.Dial ws://127.0.0.1:9444/icli: bad status: 403"I think this means that nuclei calls the localhost websocket on the CVM, but Ansible interprets that as a call to the server I’m running ansible from (ie the ‘controller’ server), and not the CVM I’m remotely connected to.Does anyone have any advice on how to handle this?  I’ve also looked at API calls, but can’t find any that give m

Hello All,I am installing Nutanix on a four node cluster. Each cluster has three HDDs, 1 NVMe SSD and 1 SATADOM for the OS. I was intending for the SSD to be my hot tier and the HDD to serve as the cold tier.When installing I see that it’s required for the CVM to be assigned to a disk. This seems to indicate that I will likely need to add an additional drive to the layout to dedicate to the CVM or does the CVM storage double as the cache tier? I do have an additional spot for a second SATADOM that I could use for the CVM storage however I cannot find any guidance on its required size.Thanks in advance!https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Nutanix-Community-Edition-Getting-Started-v2_0:top-sysreqs-ce-r.htmlStora

I’m trying to migrate off VMWare and ESXi. During Move preparation of the plan I keep getting this error:Failed to execute guest command: '/tmp/nutanix_move/vmware326/installAMD.sh' ExitCode: 'dracut: installkernel failed in module kernel-modules-extra'. Move version 5.2.0Nutanix version pc.2023.3 Anyone run into this and know what the fix is. 

I have installed IIS on Windows servers, performed LCM framework in 2 phases for version 2.7 and after that was able to set LCM to use Dark site and to point to my IIS web server http;//MyIP/release. That allowed my to run inventory. However I can’t update any other component. I have downloaded LCM packages for AOS, foundation, FLOW, etc extracted with proper WinZip version or embedded tar. Have correct folders structure as per LCM Dark Site guide, but still LCM do not see any component for upgrade. What else I can do?And for sure for example my AOS and AHV requires update. Permissions checked, MIME types checked. CVMs and PC can talk to web server. Compatibility bundle has been extracted and copied to root folder /release. Don’t know what else might be the problem. Most likely something silly. Please help. And just FYI, direct upload to PE

So I was wondering what Akbor actually did here.  In the reply he says he just, “This is now resolved, I used edit-zeus to set state.”Is there a set of instructions or some sort of helpful advice for what he meant by edit-zeus?  I tried poking around but it seemed pretty dangerous for a linux noob like myself LoL Thanks for any help you can give,                                                        Brian  Removing failed node 2 months ago 1 reply 52 views Hi everyone,We had an issue with SATADOM on of the nodes, which has been replaced.  Unfortunately, we had to rebuild the CVM as well as they hypervisor and now need to add the rebuilt node back to the cluster.
