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.

Hello , I have two questions in “Network Segmentation logically”:I have 3 nodes (ESXi) with standard switch for every node , and i need to do logically network segregation to separate MGMT from CVM traffic The tasks which is need to be done in vCenter is 1- Create 2 port groups 1 for MGMT and the other for CVM traffic every one with different vlan  Now ,1- I need to move CVM nic0 to MGMT port group and CVM nic2 to CVM traffic port group ? or Nutanix do this step ?2- From Nutanix configuration part , i need to add the vlan ID in “Backplane LAN Configuration Dialogue” or it is enough when i add the vlan ID in vCenter port groups?

My Prism Central cluster (PC Scaleout) running version pc.2022.6.0.1 has ben generating Tasks related to Reports every few seconds - see screenshot below. This has been occurring for several days now and I don’t know if it’s normal or not - does anyone else experience this? 

I try to deploy Nutanix in 3 nodes (Fujitsu) using Foundation VM , Every node have 4 NIC , 2 NIC to every switch , (Nexus 3548-x), IPMI connected to other CISCO switch We will install ESXi as hypervisor , The deployment fail , when i follow up in node console , it fail after creation bond and try to connect to foundation VM My question are :it should be connection between AOS to foundation VM IP ?what is best practices for configuration in two nexus switches and cisco switch , for example , all 10g in nexus switch are trunk ports , native vlan is cvm vlan … what i need more to do ? 

Can we receive Rsyslog files per CVM based? Or it has to be via PC only?Can I do them individually?

I’m looking to upgrade the hypervisor on my cluster of NX-8035-G6 hardware however the download site only lists ESXi version 7.0.0-ga (build 15843807) as the latest for this hardware line - which was released from VMware almost 2 years ago.Can I use this older .json file with newer versions of ESXi? For example version 7 Update 3?Or, since there appears to be support for these newer versions of ESXI for other vendors (like the Dell hardware line),  can I use the .json files for the Dell hardware along with the new ESXi binary’s on my cluster of NX-8035-G6 nodes?
