Deployment Success

Hello, masters of NutanixCould you help a beginner in trouble? I took an internal snapshot to prepare for a problem moving nodes from an existing cluster to another cluster The previous one was done well, and the snapshot was about 1.8gb, but I found that even though I deleted the snapshot, I still had about 1tb of capacity leftI got a response that the curation will work and the capacity will be back in 36 hoursBut the capacity remains the sameWhich part should I check? I'd appreciate it if you could give me a command or a solutionThe customer is dissatisfied with the capacity of 1tb and wants to resolve it Help me, please. Customer is using AOS 5.20.3.5 / ESXI 7.0 u2a / NX-3060-G4  Pic1 - Capacity before increasing nodes Pic2 - Capacity after node is increased 

I am getting this messageafter i Running the NCC check healthEXT4 file system errors are detected on CVM: 10.10.15.44: EXT4-fs errors found in devices: sdd1 on the filesystem. Review dmesg output for EXT4-fs error details.any one have any idea about how to fix this problem 

Can i add the new hard disk to empty slot for extend capacity ?

I’m trying to understand the Acrpolis OS interaction with the other components, i know that Acrpolis OS is the data plan and Prism is the management plan. Also, AOS is installed as a CVM. But im still confused about Prism. So, is Prism part of AOS and run inside CVM, or it’s a separated component ?

I have a few NX G8 nodes I want to install and configure, however the ToR Switches currently available are 1G switches (I have ordered 10G switches but they are late). I have a few questionsIn the pink circle above, the left port is Shared IPMI (10G) and the right one is its failover (as I’ve seen in NX Hardware specifications), however the speed for Failover port is not specified. Does any one know whether it’s 10G or 1G? And it is activated by default or should I go into BIOS Setup and activate the port during boot? My idea is to use this Failover port for Nutanix imaging and subsequently use it for CVM, Host and User VM traffic (temporarily). Has anyone tried this before? Any issues during Foundation imaging? I’m aware there will be performance issues when it comes to AHV/CVM services running as well as VM performance. Thanks everyone in advance!

Hello,Does anybody know where I can find the 'Nutanix AHV Best Practices', as found in the google search below, I can't for the life of me find it.Specially looking for best practices for different workloads, and that article based on the description seemed to hit the nail on the head regarding higher clock speeds for database workloads for example.i find that a lot of Google links just end up with a "Not Found or Forbidden" message.

Hi everyone, i have a question that can we schedule shutdown and restart CVMs, AHV host automatically? For example, I want to shutdown system at 9 P.M and restart it at 9 A.M. It could be scripts or anything else. Hope your helps 

Hi everyone,After upgrade LCM to the latest version scavenger process scheduled every 2 minutes! It drives me crazy!/home/nutanix/bin/scavenger.py --interval_secs=120 --logtostderr=TrueSo if anyone know how to reschedule this process to 10 or 20 minutes, I’ll be very pleased.

we have three new hpe dx380 gen 10 servers for nutanix AHV installation, Can we configure LACP on the Nutanix AHV cluster with new HPE server? what is the prerequisite for LACP configuration, and what we need to do?

Ladies/Gents,Second time this happens. First time it did, I did not know how to fix this and did a reinstall. This time I am trying to find a way to avoid going down the full reinstall route…The issueAfter a power failure, in my area, the power may come back for like 5-60 seconds and then off again. This may happen once or twice after the power failure. In that case, what happens, is the AHV seems to mark the two NVMe drives as not available (I have one SSD, 120GB Western Digital booting AHV - so boot drive, and two Samsung EVO 1TB) and due to that, CVM and all VMs are gone.Booting off a USB stick with Linux Mint we can see the drives listed: All I can find is info that requires the CVM, what is gone in this case…So how can this be fixed? Is it a matter of booting with the Nutanix CE USB and doing a repair? Is there something that can be done on AHV (what of course I do have access to) that will 'unflag' the disks as bad (what they are not - if I do reinstall the whole thing and start

I need to stop one as I didn’t remove a large disk from it before starting.

Hello, warriors of the digital ageCould you help a beginner in trouble? I took an internal snapshot yesterday to prepare for a problem moving nodes from an existing cluster to another cluster The previous one was done well, and the snapshot was about 1.8gb, but I found that even though I deleted the snapshot, I still had about 1tb of capacity leftI checked if the data was increased on another vm, but it didn't, so I think it's because of the snapshotErasing the snapshot doesn't reduce the capacity. What should I do?Where should I check first?AOS 5.20.3.5 / ESXI7.0 u2a  

We are planning to migrate 2000 VMs from VMware to Nutanix, I am looking for Power shell script, which can automate the plan creation and start cutover. 

Is there any specific requirement port speed on TOR Switch for Nutanix Cluster running NVME + SSD storage? Is still good running 10Gb Switch to cover NVME + SSD performance? Thanks

I would like to create a new scenario with Lenovo HW or modify one with NX HW to Lenovo but I don’t how I could that. Anyone could tell me if is it possible?
