Deployment Success

Just a basic quick question I’d like confirmation on if possible. In a Nutanix Metro availability configuration (ESXi stretched cluster stretched across two sites) do all the CVM’S from both clusters have to be on the same Layer 2 Network to be supported?

To re-enable the protocol, change the DWORD value to 1.By default, this entry does not exist in the registry

Is there any way to migrate a VM running in VMware ESXI to AHV without using Nutanix Move?  What about if the client has the VM files( vmx, vmdk, etc ) in his external storage device and want to import into AHV?

We want to upgrade the CPU in one node only in 3node cluster. Please guide us, how can we achieve this. Please send step by step instructions.

Hello all, It seems that I am having issues with one of my ESXI hosts in my Nutanix. Nutanix G8ESXI 6.7 vSphere 6.7 This is a new set up, so not entirely devastated. Now the reason I believe it became disconnected is because in vSphere I see Network Adapter 1 VM Network (Disconnected). However the other 2 CVM’s are working just fine and are connected. in Prism when I click on the node I do see the host details, but nothing like the name I originally gave it, under the hardware tab and Host NIC’s there's nothing.Under Prism settings > Configure CVM I see 2 of the 3 and of course the one missing is the one I'm having issues with. Now I am able to see open the CVM VM in vSphere and Prism, but here's the other issue. When I set these up I used a password manager and gave all 3 CVM’s the same password, why I bring this up is because the other 2 CVM’s take the password and username, but the bad CVM doesn't. Even the default password for the G8 models doesn't work. So in other words I cann

Hello dear Nutanix community,A client of my company has purchased 3 HX Lenovo nodes and 2 ToR Cisco switches, each node was equipped with only 2 ports 10GbE (the LOM ones).  However, with only 2 ports, I don’t know how to setup the cluster in a way that there is a redundancy. The current rack looks like this without any cabling yet: The IPMI port will go to a Management Switch, so there’s no issue there. But so far, I am confused as to how setup the cabling for the two interfaces; Should eth0 go to a port on SW1 and eth1 go to a port on SW2 for each of the 3 servers? or should both eth0 and eth1 go to the same switch? If I understood correctly the AHV Networking articles in Nutanix, eth0 and eth1 will form a logical bond (br0-up) inside the br0 bridge. And I’m guessing since we only have 2 uplinks per nodes (I’m going for the first scenario):> eth0 will go to SW1Port1 (for example), SW1Port1 will be configured as a Trunk port, for which the CVM/AHV VLAN and User VMs VLANs will be de

We have Red Hat Virtualization from where we are going to migrate to Nutanix AHV. Virtual machines in RHV are LVM, not disks, because we are using fibre channel. How can we migrate virtual machines from RHV to AHV?

Is it possible to enable RDMA nic manually in the CVM after manually passthrough the Mellanox network card to CVM in ESXi?It is not enable RDMA during foundation and the cluster is created.After passthrough the NICs to CVM in ESXi, I checked that the NICs are already in the lspci result but can not enable RDMA in Prism.So if it is not possible, that means if the cluster is created without RDMA enabled. there is no way to re-enable RDMA except re-foundation the cluster?

HiI'm hoping someone has a similar setup.  I originally posted this question a month or so ago but the answer I received isn't correct.  The post has been marked as solved so I'm unable to reply hence why I'm opening a new one.  I think  there was a misunderstanding  with my  described setup in the previous post so I've tried to make it clearer here.  This is tricky to explain without diagrams so I appreciate this may be difficult to provide a valid answer and I may not get a response.Our SetupWe have a 2 sites connected by fast links with one Nutanix cluster at each site (16 nodes in each Nutanix cluster).  These two Nutanix clusters make up 1 stretched ESXi cluster hosting mainly Window servers.  We then use Metro availability to replicate between these sites\Nutanix clusters.So in short - One ESXI cluster that's stretched across two sites and we use Nutanix Metro to synchronously replicate.On this environment we host a number of VM guest failover SQL clusters (2 nodes in each cluste

All,I ran the VM HA test failover; similar to another user, here Nutanix X-Ray VM High Availability Test timeout I got the 120 seconds timeout. So I raised a ticket. However one issue I did have is the powered off host was not powered back on again. All validation tests when I discovered the targets were good. I have included this in the support ticket for now, but wondering if anyone else has seen this? Older G5 Nutanix, 3 Node cluster, AOS 5.20.3, PC 2022.1.

I have just changed disk 0 and disk 1 which were SSD SATA 480gb and now are SSD SAS 1.92tb - Prism still identifies them as SSD-SATA - Why? or have a missed something?Also how do I know if they are in a RAID config or whether the system has just picked them up as single disks?The new drives should run like hot snot, how do I check that they are running faster than the old SATA drives - still have 2 hosts with old drives , I plan to complete the change over tomorrow.  Or will I only see speed increase when all hosts are complete?

Sometimes you have to mount an ISO, and historically, the only methods to achieve this on G6 and G7 platforms were:  1) by using the IPMI Java console or 2) by mounting the ISO directly from a CVM (KB-4616) With BMC 7.11, we have an added option to mount the ISO directly from the HTML5 IPMI console.  For more details, please check out BMC 7.11 release notes and upgrade today for this and many more new features and security enhancements!

Has anyone ever attempted a Host book disk repair and encountered this issue before?     All cables and SFPs are plugged in as if it were still in production. Have not yet attempted to rebuild via foundation as these were the steps provided by Nutanix support:  https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Hypervisor-Boot-Drive-Replacement-Platform-v510-Multinode-G3G4G5:Hypervisor-Boot-Drive-Replacement-Platform-v510-Multinode-G3G4G5   Steps Taken: Downloaded and burnt phoenix.iso to USB Booted USB into Phoenix Kicked off Repair Host boot Disk and uploaded whitelisted ESXi image Encountered error I have a case open with support and have escalated and figured that while i’m waiting I could ask the community. Will provide a response here once we figure out the issue. Cheers All!   (Edit: I posted this in the CE forum by accident)
