Deployment Success

Morning,I am trying to list all VM templates via the v3 API call. I can see the templates in Prism, however i cannot find a way to list these via the API. BG Info: - Built a K3s server - installed Rancher via Helm - added node template - added Cloud/Nutanix Creds - specify image/template name - Create cluster = failure     Error creating machine: Error in driver during machine creation: image     rancher-template not foundI have also reached out to Rancher for some help in case it is their side that needs more info adding. Any ideas will be great.

Hello guys, I am wondering if Nutanix offer a platform that offer virtual environment so that I can test many things that I can’t test in a production environment such as, new services that we have not deploy yet. Best Regards, 

Hello guys, if I use Metro Availability as the way to sync my data between two sites. if the primary site gets down do I have to manually enable unplanned failover or its directly enabled when the other one gets down. Also, what about the other syncing methods, are they the same. Thanks 

Hello guys, I am wondering if it is possible to register a cluster that is on another site to a PC. Or, it must have its own PC and connect them through DR. Thanks in advance,

Hi I have setup the nutanix AOS 6.5.3.1 with Hyper V hypervisor server 2016 on 2 nodes with foundation.I have some question that I am still unable to figure out.I am able to console in the SVM in both nodes via SSH, but I am unable to access the Prism on Web Browser til I create the cluster in SVM. Is this correct?After accessing the Prism, most of the prism element function like VM, Storage and etc apart from health was available. Is this due to nutanix main role in Hyper V was limited as to only manage to see dashboard?I try to add the second node to the first node that has created the cluster in Prism, but was unable. Does it mean I can only do VM creation, modification, deletion etc and join cluster via the Server failover over cluster in Hyper V?Is there a guide for Nutanix with Hyper V from setup to managing, as I have read the AAPM which doesn’t seems to apply on this. 

I want to ask about how to give a user limited resources within the cluster. For example, user A can create VMs until he reaches 5 CPU, 4 memory, and 40 GB disk.Thanks in advance.

I’m looking for more details regarding the use of the “filter” attribute and getting a list of HOSTS under a spceific cluster.I have tried making the call using the following data but it returns the hosts for all the clusters instead of the specified one{  "kind": "host",  "filter": “cluster=in=randomplaceholderclusterid",  "length": 1,  "offset": 0}Any help on this would be appreciated. Also, is there additional documentation on the FIQL filtering options in the REST api? Hoping for a quick response,Thanks!

I’m looking for more details regarding the use of the “filter” attribute and getting a list of VMs.https://www.nutanix.dev/reference/prism_central/v3/api/vms/postvmslist/  I've been able to filter down VMs returned using the filter = “vm_name==my-vm-name” in my Rest API quiries but I was looking for some more examples.In particular it would be great if I could find VMs by IP address or MAC address to try and hunt down VMs without doing a full VM list query.Is there additional documentation on the FIQL filtering options in the REST api?

After I create my personal Nutanix account, I tried to create my Partner account with the same information, now I have duplicated accounts I want to merge it.

Which version support answer the question “Y” to  ./cluster/bin/cluster stopWhich version support answer the question “I agree” to  ./cluster/bin/cluster stopI was putting “Y” answer for Nutanix version 5, but it changed with 6 version and I started to add “I agree”.Is there any standard for them? Which version work with answer “Y” and “I agree”.

Unable to discover the nodes( lenovo) using foundation java appalet. configred IPMI and connected the ports in 1G switch and data port in the 10G switch. We are trying to discover from the VM which is connected on the same 10G switch where the Nutanix nodes are connected. anything missing here ?

We know that there is a tool to export a VM in OVA format, and with that, it is available for download in the tool's dashboard. But I need to export many VMs at once and move these OVA files to a location with available storage on my local network. Is there a possibility to access the location (within Nutanix) where these OVA files are stored to copy them all in a single action?Regards, Tiago Santiago

I have some questions about RF. Support we have a 5 node RF:2 cluster with ESXi virutalization tech. We want to let 2 VMs are only running on 2 nodes(Use affinity rule).My questions: For my understanding, there will be one local copy on these 2 nodes. And because of the design, VMs could contact local CVMs to access local copy. So the performance is good. But if this node is down, the remote copy may be in another 3 nodes. Will the performance become worse because we lost the access the path to access local copy?Thank you very much!

Hi everyone, Is there a command to list/get all latest installed security patches on our Nutanix? Thank you.

Hello I am looking for guidance regarding setting up a 3-node and 2 node AHV cluster on 1G switches  .  Our workloads are low. The official response is to use a 10G switch fabric.  If I opt for  2 node, can I connect the servers back to back for distributed storage ? Can data network go over 1G ?  I plan to procure 2 servers with 2x 10G for distributed storage  , 2x 1G NICs for data   Thanks,Ajay
