Deployment Success

I’m trying to retrieve all VM and CVM using the following endpoint in PowerShell https://example.com:9440/api/nutanix/v3/vms/listI get all VM information back as requested but unfortunately I’m not getting any CVM and there is no information related to this in the offial API documentation.As far as I understand in version 1 you would get all vms and cvms using same endopint (vm/list)Is there something I’m missing to set up in order to get the controller vitrual machines ? {    "kind"  = "vm"      "length" =  50000    "offset" =  0}

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: Internal target agent error: 'Error creating target path [ErrStr="exit status 1", Location="/hermes/go/src/libcloud/prism/ahvmountimpl.go:213"] Internal Server Error (error=0x5024)'. Please help me

Is there any way to create a VM recovery point from a powershell script?

I completed a CE 2.0 install, I can access AHV and CVM from console, but not from the outside network. Do I need to modify iptables or do something specific with the bridge or vswitch? This is a single cluster on an hp dl380 gen9, I am only using 1 nic and my node is on vlan 20 with IPs 10.1.20.20 and 10.1.20.21 for AHV and CVM in my test lab. I have not set vlans on ahv or cvm. If i plug my laptop into vlan 20, I can’t ping or ssh to ahv or cvm. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, If I enable VLAN trunking at VM level, say for example VLAN 100 and VLAN 200. Do I need to assign two different IPs in the same NIC for each VLAN?

I have been working with an HP DL380 Gen9 and have been having issues. I can complete the initial install of CE 2.0 from a USB image, but on the next boot I get the grub rescue screen.I have set the Smart Array to HBA, I have tried all manor of HDD/SSD options and have simplified the install with 2 Crucial MX500 1 TB SSD’s. I have even bypassed the p440ar card and SAS extender and plugged into the SATA connectors on board. I am installing to a 32GB SD Card. I have tried USB 3.0 device installs and changing brands of SD Cards and USB sticks both for install media and boot devices. I have reset the configuration on the machine multiple times. I have set boot mode to legacy BIOS and have unchecked single cluster install. All drives are visible in the installer. There are no timeouts our errors during the install.If I attempt to repair and ls (hd0,mdos1)/boot or any sub directories I get an attempt to read or write outside of partition error. (hd0,msdos1) is the only partition readable. I’

How will a Redundancy Factor 2 All-Flash cluster with 4 nodes and all of running VMs get impacted when 3 disks get failure on the different nodes at the same time. Are those running VMs on the cluster still running and available to access when this happens? Will all of VMs be unavailable until failure disks get replaced? Will this impact to those VMs which VM data reside on the failure disks? or something else?

Hi TeamI am trying to deploy a VM in my Nutanix cluster. I am invoking this API https://{PRISM_CENTRAL_IP}:9440/api/nutanix/v3/vms from my powershell script with the desired body. I am using a vmdk image for creating VM and my requirement is that once the VM will turned on it should start my application. In order to start the application I need some user provided custom data.While creating the VM I am passing custom data as part of guest_customization section of the payload.  I want to access this information inside the VM while start up.Please let me know how I can read the user provided custom data inside the VM. If I am passing the custom data in a wrong place, then let me know how to pass the custom data while creating VM.I am curious to know if any solution is provided by Nutanix similar to AWS/GCP where we were invoking a specific endpoint (ex GCP - http://169.254.169.254/computeMetadata/v1/instance/attributes/user-data) to get the metadata.Attaching the whole payload for referen

I am using Foundations for Windows, cabled directly into switch, deploying to new Dell R630s bare metal, same subnet. I go through the wizard fine, IPMI credentials are verified, iDRAC works fine, IMPI over LAN enabled. The install fails with the above Exception. I can post more logs if desired.I have:- turned off Windows Firewall- updated host firmware- ran the Foundations program as an Administrator in Windows- verified physical connectivityThe complete error message is:Exception: Imaging <bmc_utils._remote_boot_idrac.RemoteBootIdrac8 object at 0x000001C3A99CDFA0> requires USERSPACE_NFS feature, try run foundation with root/administrator.Google did not turn up anything with this. Any suggestions?

Hi Nutanix Peeps, I am new in HCI technology and would like to seek your insights on how to configure native VLAN in the Nutanix Environment. The plan was to remove the default VLAN (Data Traffic) to all Cisco access switches therefore removing it will also require to configure new native VLAN in the trunk link between the switches and Nutanix Hosts. Any help would be pretty much appreciated. Thank you so much!

Hello, I am getting the error while performing migration error is “Writer is unavailable for the file 30fd72e8-3699-4b77a153-68524cf97cbb”

Hi TeamI am trying to automate the VM creation through Powershell Cmdlets. I can see there are two different version of Powershell Cmdlets are present https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=PS-Cmdlets-AOS-v6_6:ps-ps-cmdlets-c.htmlFrom the document, I observed that Powershell 2.0.1 supports execution of these cmdlets from Ubuntu and Mac along with Windows which is not the case in first version. The first version is only works from a Windows machine. But there is a significant difference between the Powershell Cmdlets present in V1 and V2.Can you please let me know do we have any limitation wrt Cmdlets if we use V2 or we can do all the operations that can be done by V1? If V2 have certain limitation then do we need to use the SDK or API in order to automate the task? Thanks

Hi,Title was of course 2402/2430, not 2404/2430 🙃Having an issue in my home lab… The issue at handI had Nutanix CE2 running on this machine for more than a month. However, due to odd crashes and false positives with disconnect issues on the vs0 configuration (I guess), I figured I would attempt a complete reinstall, having used DP to backup all VMs to another Nutanix CE2 setup. I believe I made a configuration error at some point.However, re-installing with all the exact same devices and settings, I’m faced with this:InstallerVM timeout occurred, current retry 0Please take a look at installer_vm_*.log inside foundation logs to debug hypervisor installation issuesAfter which it will restart the process.I’ve found somewhere near 2 other examples of this, stopping at the same progress [2402/2430], but I can’t figure out the solution.Maybe someone can tell me how to actually find that installer_vm_*.log, as I couldn’t find it anywhere. The SetupMotherboard: MSI B550M PRO-VHDCPU: AMD Ryzen

Hello everyone,I am currently experiencing an issue while installing a Nutanix cluster on two Lenovo ThinkAgile HX630 V3 CN nodes, with a witness virtual machine. Below are the detailed system versions and the error messages encountered.AOS and AHV Versions: AOS: 192-168-75-10: 6.8 J901TNBT (ThinkAgile HX630 V3 CN): 6.5.3 J901TNBV (ThinkAgile HX630 V3 CN): 6.5.3 AHV: 192-168-75-10: ? J901TNBT (ThinkAgile HX630 V3 CN): AHV el7.nutanix.20220304.385 J901TNBV (ThinkAgile HX630 V3 CN): AHV el7.nutanix.20220304.385 The installation fails at the "ImagingStepProvisionNetwork" step with an error message indicating a "Timeout (240s) in waiting for events ['provision_remote']". This seems to cause a cascade of failures in subsequent installation steps, preventing the process from completing.I have verified the current IP addresses and potential conflicts via arp-scan, but this has not resolved the issue.Has anyone encountered this type of issue or have any suggestions on how to resolve it ?

We are currently operating a Nutanix cluster with Cisco UCSC C240 M7 nodes. We are considering expanding this cluster by adding two Cisco B200 M5 servers as compute-only nodes. Before proceeding, we would like to confirm the following:1. Is it possible to install AHV on Cisco B200 M5 servers and integrate them as compute-only nodes into our existing Nutanix cluster?2. Are there any specific configurations or firmware requirements for the B200 M5 servers to ensure compatibility with Nutanix AHV?3. Can you provide any documentation or guidance on the best practices for this type of integration?Thank you
