I backed up the disk files of the virtual machine to a non NFS environment through SFTP, and now I want to upload the files to CVM through SFTP. However, the upload speed of SFTP is too slow. A regular virtual machine disk file has at least 200GB, and uploading takes several hours. I tried using multithreading to split files and upload them in parallel, but merging these small files after uploading still requires the same upload time. Then I tried to create a 200GB empty file, but it still took a few hours for SFTP. May I ask if there is any way to solve this problem

A Red Hat VM is freezing on the Nutanix platform. VM unresponsive and no logging.Has anyone experienced this, and any suggestions on what to do to figure out what is going on? Was a bit unsure which category to raise this question. Thanx.

Nutanix Did You Ever Develop Enable Copy and Paste From Windows Client To Open VM Console in Web Browser Like Edgesee some information that it was being looked at 4 years ago by your developers I cant see any options or information's that this was developedPlease Advice Mark68   

Hi Please help me on below confusion,Actually i have three Nutanix nodes which node imaging has been done successfully and assigned VLAN ID for CVM and AHV as well.Problem isI have three switches  one for management switch and the other two are TOR Switches.and i have configured the VLAN ID on TOR Switches for CVM and AHV but i haven't configured any VLAN ID over the management switch.I am able to ping the all  IP address from switch side but unable to ping the all ip address from user end(laptop).what i should do now.should i configure VLAN ID on  Management switch as well.or where i should check the ping status all IPs vice versa after resolving this issue i need to create cluster.how i should check the ip address vice versa from the management switch.and Gateway also is not pinging ..

Hi all, I have some NX-1065-G8 & NX-8155-G8 nodes, and I want to move them to new PDUs online. What would be the proper procedure to do this? Should I just disconnect the power cords one by one of a PDU and then reconnect they one by one to the new PDU, check the status after each disconnect and reconnect to make sure the status is normal. And then do the same for the other side of the PDU? Any command or GUI operation is needed, for example, disable the power supply of a node before disconnect? Appreciated for any comments. 

I just installed PC 2023.03 and want to use LCM dark site. But when I switch to lcm, always Loading. Any place need set?

Good morning dear: I would like your support to see how to recover information from a Windows 10 VM with damaged login within the NUTANIX Prism Central platform. Greetings. 

Hello Folks, I recently got know know about a Nutanix infrastructure running on AOS, where there are no active licenses and environment is working stable, there are very few issue.License renewal might take more time, Could someone please put some light on the important tasks which can be regularly checked to make sure the resiliency is always OK.

Hi folks, when we go to add a our cluster into XRAY all the validation tests complete however on clicking done it says: Any ideas of what I should check?Our Switch has is called XrayNetwork

Hi,I am trying to install the Community Edition at a Lab, but I am unable to go past the NEXT login in the initial setup. There is no option to login with my Company’s SSO.  

Hello All, We have a node that had an SSD failure and after replacing, the new SSD is not showing up in Prism and running the sas3ircu command still shows the original SSD. But when enabling the LSI HBA in the BIOS and looking at the config utility, it sees the new SSD. All the nodes are running ESXi and all FW are up to date. Could anyone tell me what we should do next? TIA.

Dears:Requirement: Need do two backups before batch and after batch for one SQL ServerI have an idea about backup (The hypervisor is VMware):Do NTNX snapshot from Prism web UI. Using 3rd backup software to backup this NTNX snapshotMy question is: How to backup this snapshot using the 3rd backup software? How to let 3rd backup software know this snapshot? Because VMware doesn’t aware this snapshot.Thank you very much!  

This one may be an obvious question, but its probably too obvious to the point that I am overthinking it.Model: NX-6035-G4I came into an environment where there are 5 clusters. Each clusters. Each one has both NIC’s on each node connected directly to the core switch. Each specifying the VLAN access on the core switch.Now the SFP ports are running DAC cables to a 10 Gig switch that is just in trunk mode. That switch then Trunks to the core switch.So are you suppose to use both? I thought you only had to use one or the other, normally this doesn't  matter, but the Core switch is over saturated and I could close out 10 Unnecessary wires.I drew a diagram encase this was wordy. 

we have a cluster with 5.15.4 aos installed，recently we plan to update esxi7。0.1 to esxi 7.0.3o。anyone can tell me it is ok?
