Hello,I am conducting a test using NX-3050 equipmentI know it's an old Node-Model and I have previously installed it with AOS 5.20.2.1As you can see now, we are going to test the upgrade using LCM in AOS 5.10.11.1LCM was installed as shown using 2.5.0.2.32663 Dark-siteI uploaded the file 5.20.2.1 because I saw the opinion that if the AOS version for upgrade is EOS,it might not be displayed on the screenNo matter how long I wait for the LCM in the setting window, there is no screen, so should I reinstall it? I think I saw the opinion that the AOS version was modified because it was low, so is it impossible to update using the LCM DARK site? Thank you for reading the long article and I would really appreciate your opinion

Dear All,New to Nutanix Frame here. Hence, please just let me know if I left out any essential information.We are running a non-persistent account on Frame. We noticed that AD objects that are related to instances that have been removed from the Frame account, e.g. by manually terminating them from the Status page, remain in AD. The expectation would be that these would be purged automatically. We used the Nutanix Frame AD Helper to verify that the service account does have the necessary permissions. Also, we are seeing that new machines are being created without issues.

Hi,I just want to ask if its possible to use the 1 GbE interface while using the 10 GbE for back up network in case the 10 GbE switches fails, if its possible how to set it up?
Tengo unas cargas que fueron tomadas con Live Optics para unos nodos que corren Microsoft Hyper-V,¿Cuál puede ser la forma más eficiente para subir estas cargas a Nutanix Sizing? ¿Qué método oficial tiene Nutanix para manejar estos escenarios? ¿Existe documentación oficial de Nutanix donde se pueda aprender cómo subir las cargas de Live Optics?
CVM On LACP networks, Physical switches use MLAG technology,CVM bandwidth performance cannot be improved, and the maximum can only be 10Gb.
hi community,we want to expand the cluster by adding additional node, the server model is HPE ProLiant DX360 , currently 4 nodes are running and we want to add one node of same hardware model. the hardware is factory AOS imaged. AHV is the hypervisor on current cluster.we want to know what are the physical network connectivity is required to add the node and image AHV.on new node IPMI is connected and two 10g are connected , but we are unable to discover the node from prism element. is it required to connect the node port 1g as well to the switch for imaging?
Hello. I have a question about upgrading AOS and AHV.I understand that upgrading AOS and AHV requires restarting nodes one by one, so I need to calculate memory, CPU, storage, etc. and free up enough space.There are customers who are currently using more than 90% of cluster memory.cpu, there's plenty of storage.We recommended turning off underutilized VMs to free up memory capacity, but they said it was impossible.It also says that disabling virtual machine high availability reduces memory utilization to less than 60%.However, it is recommended that you disable virtual machine high availability because it is a feature for recovery in the event of a host failure.If you turn off this feature during an upgrade and an unexpected failure occurs during the process, it can be a problem, right?In conclusion, I would appreciate it if you could tell me the correlation between upgrade and virtual machine high availability.

Cluster Configured RF3 with 5 Node.2 node Failed and 3rd node also ready to failure stage.Now will try to change RF3 to RF2 -- In this case scenario it will work RF2 configuration and recover the data?
Cluster configured RF2 with 3 nodes.I have Created VM with Affinity Rule.If we configured RF2 to maintain 2 numbers of data copies in the cluster.If the Host down, Affinity rule VM also Down.Affinity VMs ⇒ How many data copies are maintained in these VMs. If it's maintained, Why?Note : Affinity rule applied some application licensing, host resources (such as available CPU cores or CPU gigahertz speed), available RAM or RAM speed, or local SSD capacity.
