How to Import Live optics excel using  import workloads  in sizer

Hi,we added additional networkcards into the servers, but when doing a ifconfig -a | less the additional cards/ports are not being displayed.Also the CVM starts and goes into a continous boot loop. the following is being displayed UNLOAD: attempting modprobe remove virtio-pciNow our question is why are the additional ports not being displayed? Are drivers needed in order for the CVM to boot correctly with the new card installed? Thanks

Hi,I`ve replaced the SATADOM of one of the four hosts in my NX-1050. After starting from the pnoenix.iso, the repair host disk has been stuck like this for 24 hours.   The host_bootdisk_repair_status says it`s at “sm_trigger_imaging” state.The first thing I would like to do is kill the current repair job since it`s most certainly hanging. How can I do that and what further steps should I take to try and get the host back online? Thank you. 

I struggle to find info on the topic in Nutanix docs,I try to understand how to handle pagination when performing REST API request via the v2 API to retrieve all hosts I have in the cluster.when I make the request I get the metadata section with the following data:"metadata": {    "grand_total_entities": ,    "total_entities": ,    "filter_criteria": "",    "sort_criteria": "",    "page": ,    "count": ,    "start_index": ,    "end_index":   }when i make a request i see that i can specify two fields that relate to pagination “page number”“count”its not clear how to handle pagination,if somebody have some code sample it will be great !

DearsPlease your support in this critical case : I have 2 nutanix blocks, each 3 nodes;they`re all connected to a one switch with 12 cables ( 2 each), all in the same vlan (vlan 1), the switch is connected to firewall (trunk port from switch to firewall), I had set the cvm ip to 10.10.20.x range, I have the gateway from firewall 10.10.20.254, how I can add gateway to the cluster so the vms inside can be reached?what network settings or changes I must do? Thank you

Which image types are stored by the Nutanix Image Service?

I am passing this payload to filter a VM. It works if the VM name is an exact match (case-sensitive).  How Do I make the following filter case-insensitive ?payload = {"kind":"vm", "filter": "vm_name=={0}".format(vmName)}I tried different combination’s, but none worked.

AOS 5.20.4.6 does not support direct upgrade to AOS 6.5. Will an over-upgrade package be released later?

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’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?
