There's a security issueI think we should use a KEY-based approach when approaching CVM and AHV.I registered KEY and set lockdown mode, but from AHV to nutanix accountYou can access it, but the root account does not.Is it only available on the original Nutanix account?

I am working on converting my scripts to Powershell 7.x. I tried to use the Nutanix cmdlets 2.0.1 provided for Prism Central. Attempting to connect to Prism Central is failing. Six months ago I played around with it and it worked then but now does not.Our main Prism Central instance is pc.2023.1.0.2. We also have a test instance which is pc.2023.4.

Greetings All,I am new to the Nutanix world (VMware refugee). We have a small vSphere deployment with 3 ESXi hosts (6 functional guests) being backed up via Veeam (on-prem). I am considering replacing this with Prism and AHV also backed up via Veeam. This would seem rather straight forward but it is not proving to be at the moment. Working with the CE installer and following along with the YouTube video by Nutanix University I keep getting stopped by various issues that do not align with what seems to be known issues. The first was the Realtek driver (I deactivated the onboard NIC and replaced with an Intel Server NIC). I am able to ping the AHV but the CSM is not running so I cannot get past the 6:50 point in the video which is ping the CSM. I should mention that I selected to install the AHV to nVME1, Data to nVME2 and CSM tonvME0. Interestingly if I altered the devices, I ran into different issues like first boot failures so I am wondering if there is a communication issue with the

Hi Next!I've been trying to deploy Nutanix on three HPE DL380 G10 without success.Hardware config is exactly the same on the 3 nodes, 2 x Platinum 8260Mm 1 TB RAM, 6 X 3.82 SSD drives, 4 port onboard 1 Gbps NIC (not used), 1 x Infiniband adapter (not used) and 2 x 2 port HP CN 1100R 10Gbps SFP+ cards. All firmware update with latest available PSP (september 2023). First tried Foundation, version 5.5 with installer package fraser-6.5.5.1 and with either ESX 7, ESX8 (HPE Cutomized ISOs) and AHV version integrated in the installer package. Foundation timeout after several retries, and checking iLO server console looks like the installer is not able to assign IP addresses to any network interface so foundation VM is not able to contact the server. If I try to manually assign IP addresses after foundation fails it returns an error indicating that eth5 to eth8 (10 GBps ports) file is not available. If I try to deploy using phoenix ISO (created from foundation VM / with ESX and also with AHV)

A disk failed at one node and replaced the disk.I'm trying to restart with CVM and connect to SSHAuthentication continues to fail.Node is in maintenance mode.An SSH key was created to connect without a password, but the node is not connected through the key.Is there another way to connect to a single mode like regular Linux?Or is there a way to create a new CVM?

Hello i need to configure a HPE HW on the sizer but i don avaible to do that ! please help me 

Is there a feature within the Nutanix Sizer that allows for manual adjustment of the vCPU to pCPU ratio? If so, could someone guide me through the process or point me to the relevant documentation or resources?

Hi Everyone, We are currently doing AHV to AHV migration from a DC to another DC. I need some tips on maximizing migration performance to ensure the migration can be done in the fastest way as we have limited time. does upgrading CPU/RAM of Move VM do the trick? or is there any settings that can be tweak to increase the performance? Thank you

Hello!A few years ago, there was a topic raised about this issue, but I would like to confirm if there are any current issues.I am currently using version 5.20 of AOS and it was confirmed that the installation was done with RF3 two years ago.I would like to change this to RF2. I know that it is not possible to change the FT, but I only want to change the part related to Storage.It seems that the command ncli ctr edit rf=2 id=container_ID can be used for this purpose.When making the change, do Nutanix ManagementShare and SelfServiceContainer also need to be changed?Will there be any impact on the service during the change?
