Deployment Success

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?

Hello, I have instantiated a new cluster and I can’t seem to figure out why the Network Visualization won’t work for my cluster.  LLDP is enabled on my Meraki switch. I can see when new devices join my network as Nutanix on both my eero and firewalla. When I do lldpctl from the host it shows the following:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------LLDP neighbors:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Interface:    eth0, via: LLDP, RID: 1, Time: 1 day, 01:01:39  Chassis:         ChassisID:    mac ac:17:c8:2f:de:80    SysName:      Home - switch    SysDescr:     Meraki MS225-24P Cloud Managed PoE Switch    MgmtIP:       x.x.x.x    Capability:   Bridge, on  Port:            PortID:       ifalias 9    PortDescr:    Port 9    TTL:          120  VLAN:         1, pvid: yes  Unknown TLVs:    TLV:          OUI: 00,18,0A, SubType: 1, Len: 4 00,2C,32,89----------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

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

Hi,while I want to setup my first Nutanic CE i get this ERROR message. I anyone know how I can solve this problem?

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” 

The system ran the installation but when the reboot started to finish setup it required a username and password but nothing seems to be working. Any help to resolve this would be helpful.
