Deployment Success

I am getting ready to deploy a new Nutanix cluster next week and am preparing my Foundation VM.  I have imported the 7.5.1.6 AOS package which then states that the minimum AHV version is 11.0.1.2-33.  I’ve then downloaded this ISO from the link direct within Foundation and imported but I then get the message that this in an unsupported Hypervisor.  I’ve updated the whitelist but the hypervisor is still showing as not in the whitelist.  Am I ok to just install or do I need to check something else?

I have encountered a roadblock while configuring LDAP and SAML authentication from the same domain for a Customer. The Customer wants that whenever a user logins , it does from SAML and whenever a service account is logging into PC , it uses LDAP. Is there a way to configure this in Prism Central?

i  have a nutanix cluster  of node with (25gb ) uplink  and LACP is configured on it . i need to to expand cluster with nodes with ( 100GB ) uplink .i prepared the new node with below configuration:1-  re-imaged the new node with same version of AOS and AHV  as the existing cluster 2-  configured the  the new node with LACP my questions:1- is there any impact  to cluster that we mix speed of network as some node work with 25g and other with 100g ?2-  in expand cluster steps the is tab of network configuration is mandatory to set its configuratiion or can skip this configuration as i configured on new node , what will happen if i skip network configuration during expand 3- how long the expand will take to expand 4 node ?

Hi When entering a workload in Sizer, there is an option to select the existing CPU.For example, let’s assume that we are planning to deploy 100 VMs, each with 4 vCores and 8 GB of memory.  If I select “Yes, but I don’t know the current processor” and then choose Default, the estimated CPU utilization is approximately 75% when configured with a 3-node cluster, each node having 2 CPUs with 32 cores.However, if I edit the workload and select “Yes, but I don’t know the current processor”, the estimated CPU utilization increases to around 110%.In other words, I am not sure which criteria I should use when performing sizing.Why does the estimated utilization differ so significantly even though the workload itself is the same?Is there any detailed guidance available for this? It may be that I have not been able to find it, so I would appreciate your assistance.

Hi,I’ve got a question about where a VM on AHV get’s it’s time at boot-up from.Background:  I was reviewing the event logs on a couple of windows servers, and looking at the bootup process.  Event times, start at UTC and then a bit through the boot-up it jumps an hour to GMT (Presumably when windows time starts, and syncs with the domain)  I’d prefer this not to happen, and would like the BIOS/Boot time to be GMT if possible. Does the VM “BIOS”boot time come from the CVM which I’ve found the process to change the timezone for, or the Host which the recommended configuration is to leave at UTC?Thanks in advance G

We are trying to configure the CVM hardening recommendation to enable SNMPv3 only.  The Nutanix Bible lists the command as:ncli cluster edit-cvm-security-params enable-snmpv3-only=[true|false] #Default:falseHowever, the AOS 7.5 version of the Security hardening guide doesn’t list the command and execution fails with an invalid command. How can we enable SNMPv3 only or verify that SNMPv2c is disabled?

X-Ray 6.2, trying to run the resiliency test on a 5 node cluster where 3 nodes are storage only. Is there way to configure the test to only move VMs between the 2 hyperconverged nodes?

Hi Team, We have Nutanix Prism central deployed with scale out option by having 3 PC instances in it. We would like to make it one instance instead of 3. Could you help with Nutanix articles that gives the steps to do do.

Hi Experts!We are planning a migration from an existing AHV cluster (AOS 6.x) to a new AHV cluster running AOS 7.5.1, and we need to migrate our Active Directory Domain Controllers.We are aware that the official Move documentation states that DC migration is "not recommended but can be performed with some limitations", and that AOS 6.7+ supports VM Generation ID to reduce USN rollback risks.We have a few questions :Has anyone successfully migrated Domain Controllers using Nutanix Move in an AHV-to-AHV scenario on AOS 6.7 or higher ?Did you experience any USN rollback, replication issues, or post-migration AD inconsistencies ?Any specific pre/post-migration checks you would recommend for this use case ?Constraint: We need to keep the same IP addresses for our DCs after migrationThanks in advance

Anyone facing problem with Sizer today 05/19/26? When I access Sizer, I can't see my scenarios anymore. I saw in the past whe this occurs, was problem in Akamai, but I need to know when this will normalize.

I have a ticket open but there are long delays between responses and I’m wondering if anyone in the community has run into this issue.Trying to move a 2012R2 File Server and when running the manual preparation script, I get this failure on Installing VirtIO drivers.Failed to install VirtIO drivers. This would impact migrated VM's network connectivity in AHV cluster.Now, I have since just manually installed the VirtIO drivers and they install without issue.  However, I’d like to see the full preparation script finish successfully before I try a move.  I’m not sure why it’s even trying to install the drivers when they are already there, I would think they would just see them and move on.Has anyone one seen this one and gotten past it?

Last week I have completed a foundation of 6 HPE Proliant DL360 GEN12 server.This was not functioning like any other foundation in the past.I have encounterd 2 type of issues:ILO7 required HTTPS for the mount of the reuired ISO's ILO7 firmware was to low and therefor got some RESTAPI errors and the foundation failed.i have created a step by step bleg on how to fix those 2 steps (I think the first step already has been talked about here)details about these steps can be found here: https://thevirtualblueprint.com/nutanix-foundation-imaging-errors-on-hpe-proliant-gen12/ good luck

Hi I’m testing the Nutanix API v3 on a AOS 7.5 cluster through the prism central API. I came across the `https://ip_address:9440/api/nutanix/v3/users` endpoint that allows us to create a new user. However, I can’t see to find a way to create a user that’s not tied to any identity provider (local user).  Is there even such a thing? Or is it not supported through the API? Because I can’t see an attribute for that in the payload from the official documentation. I couldn’t find an endpoint for this functionality on other API versions, that’s why I’m using v3. Any help is much appreciated.

Hi all,I am sizing environments and really like to also add the correct licensing to the scenario and export the BOM to request this at the distribution. Unfortunately I have had it now the second time over the last months that licensing was not included correctly.This time I have a scenario with 10 VMs, 5TiB Objects and wanted NCI Edge Pro, NCM Edge Starter and 5 TiB NUS Pro with Adv. Replication. The BOM exported is listing the NCI-E Pro but in addition also Core based licensing. The 5 TiB NUS are missing also the Adv. Replication in the Excel and PDF BOM export.Anybody else with same findings or any thoughts on this?Sebastian
