Deployment Success

Hello,I Hope finding some help here, I have a now freshly outdated 3 nodes NX-1065-G5 on AOS 6.5.2 LTS with Starter License, recently a SSD crashed on a node and CVM failed.My nutanix portal is now closed, and documentation access is restricted...Cluster is in production with now no resiliency,I manage to find a new accepted SSD and start the phoenix repair process to rebuild the CVM.CVM started now successfully, wrong management IP after phoenir repair, so I set it up in /etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-eth0 OK, now I can ping it, BUT CVM didn’t rejoin the cluster.What can I do to make my CVM fully operationnal and getting again resiliency ? Thanks you,A desesperate IT guy.    

Are there any examples or GitHub repo with snippets how to restore a VM Recovery Point from Prism Central? I could not find any in documentation https://www.nutanix.dev/reference/prism_central/v3/

Hi Team,can any one please guide me through, how upgrade Firmware for Esxi hosts and cautions to be take care.And what are all the aspects we can upgrade the firmware.Our Model Hosts : G5, where can I look for the compatible version to upgrade.

Hello Nutanix API devs (or community),Our team currently uses v1, v2 along with v3 versions of Nutanix API. Wondering if there is published documentation on how long into the future the older versions (v1 and v2) are going to be working and/or supported. Thank you in advance!

I am using Nutanix community edition and I want to install Nutanix move for migration of AHV vms to Aws/Azure.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you’re working with a Nutanix AHV Cluster and need to download IOS files, here’s a step-by-step guide to make the process seamless.Step 1: Connect to CVM via SSHOpen a secure shell (SSH) session to one of the Controller Virtual Machines (CVM) in your Nutanix cluster. Use the following command:ssh nutanix@<CVM-IP-Address>Step 2: List Available ImagesOnce connected, use the Nutanix Acropolis Command Line Interface (acli) to list available images:#acli image.listStep 3: Copy Image UUIDIdentify the IOS image you want to download and copy its UUID.#acli image.get <Image-UUID>From the results, copy the vdisk_uuid associated with the desired imageStep 4: Download Using WinSCPDownload and install WinSCP, a popular file transfer tool. Connect to one of the CVM IP addresses on port 2222 using the SFTP protocol. Ensure that you use the username ‘admin,’ not the Nutanix CVM username.Navigate to the container and locate the disk image corresponding to the previously copied vdisk_uuid

As far as I know, Nutanix CVM uses CentOS 7. But from official announcement, CentOS will EOL June 30, 2024. Will Nutanix plan to use another version of CentOS?

＞This customer requires to do implement the DX380 Foundation Service without vCenter(vCSA).＞Is it acceptable to provide services without vCenter as a service requirement? There should be no vCenter when you provide the service.However, I think there must be some restrictions regarding settings.For example, LACP settings etc.This is because vDS creation is not possible. So, explain to us your service requirements to our customers.
