You can monitor the Mine cluster health and activity through Prism. To determine the AOS version of your Mine the cluster is running, go to About Nutanix option under user_name drop-down list in Prism main menu. Mine with Veeam DashboardThe Prism web console includes a custom Mine with Veeam dashboard specific to a Mine™ cluster, which appears by default when you first log on to Prism. To view this custom dashboard at any time, select Mine with Veeam from the pull-down list on the far left of the main menu.The custom dashboard displays the following eight information tiles (widgets):

Hi guys,I want to run some tests on a local system, so I created two VMs that are isolated from my production network.So, I created a network in the cluster just to be used by these two VMs. This network does not exist in production, only within the cluster.I added the NIC for this network on both VMs. But even so VMs do not communicate, I cannot ping or access via SSH from one VM to another.This type of configuration, just for testing, is not possible with AHV \ AOS?    

So my 1st dive into Nutanix and I’m stuck at the first hurdle. I’ve setup a 1 node cluster to start with on a supermicro server with a decent enough spec and am just getting it ready to start experimenting but I can’t get the File Server updated. Everything else is running current versions but I have the below. I’ve had a quick look for some CLI guides but can’t see how to get more info on why this would be stuck. Very odd considering everything else updated without issue. Rules out the normal access, DNS issues etc. Any idea how I can clear these jobs? Rebooting etc does not clear them.I was just able to update NCC from 4.2.0.2 to 4.3 via the same method without issue. Thanks!Mark  

Whenever I export the vm list, I never see the creation date of each vm.How can I see the creation date of each vm, without using PrismCentral?Is there a tool, or script to see the creation date of each vm?Please help

 If you are unable to add hosts and storage to SCVMM by using the utility provided by Nutanix, you can add the hosts and storage to SCVMM by using the SCVMM user interface. Procedure: Login to the SCVMM user interface and click VMs and Services. Right-click All Hosts and select Add Hyper-V Hosts and Clusters, and click Next. Click Browse and select an existing Run as Account or create a new Run As

 Nutanix clusters running Hyper-V have the following limitations. Certain limitations might be attributable to other software or hardware vendors: Guidelines: Hyper-V 2016 clusters and support for Windows Server 2016.  VHD Set files (.vhds) are a new shared Virtual Disk model for guest clusters in Microsoft Server 2016 and are not supported. You can import existing shared .vhdx disks to Windows Server 2016 clusters. New VHDX format sharing is supported. Only fixed-size VHDX sharing is supported. Use the PowerShellAdd-VMHardDiskDrive command to attach any existing or new VHDX file in shared mode to VMs.

For a node to join a Nutanix cluster, it must have a hypervisor and AOS combination that Nutanix supports. AOS is the operating system of the Nutanix Controller VM, which is a VM that must be running in the hypervisor to provide Nutanix-specific functionality. Find the complete list of supported hypervisor/AOS combinations at https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/compatibility-matrixFoundation is the official deployment software of Nutanix. Foundation allows you to configure a pre-imaged node, or image a node with a hypervisor and an AOS of your choice. Foundation also allows you to form a cluster out of nodes whose hypervisor and AOS versions are the same, with or with

Ports and ProtocolsThe Ports and Protocols Reference allows you to determine ports requirements for multiple Nutanix products and services in a single pane. This document is divided into several sections based on the required ports for each product or service.Ports and Protocols Reference covers detailed port information (like protocol, service description, source, destination, and associated service) for the following products and services.Note: Note: The existing port information in this document is based on the latest product rele

We have Lenovo HX (3752) installed with 3 nodes pre-bundled with AHV and AOS. The onsite technician configured IPMI (XCC) and we are now able to login to the XCC and also able to access the console (AHV). I wanted to do the following,Change the AHV IP address from the console (commands)? Know the AHV version and its default IPs/current IPs from the console? Connect/ssh to CVM and change the CVM IPs? Create Cluster of 3 nodes

HyperVisor - ESXi 6.7U3Mostly Windows VMsI’m sure there’s good reason for this and it's probably to do with the way SQL handles memory but when I check the memory usage from Prism or Prism Central for a VM that’s running SQL it’s not accurately reflecting what the VM is actually using.  For example, from within the VM if I fire up task manager or even perfmon it will report the memory usage at say 95% whereas from Prism it reports the VM as using 25%.I need to generate a report for a collection of SQL VMs and application servers but I think for the SQL VMs I'm going to have to provide perfmon screenshots or something.Can anyone explain to me in simple terms why this is happening?

With AHV-20190916.189, Nutanix supports Directly Attached Volume Groups in a Guest VM Cluster. On AHV clusters, you can create a guest VM cluster by directly attaching a volume group to guest VMs.After you attach a volume group to guest VMs, vDisks appear as SCSI devices to the guest operating system and you do not need to set up any in-guest connections when you are creating a guest cluster. If you directly attach volume groups to guest VMs, you can seamlessly share vDisks across VMs in the guest cluster.You can directly attach a volume group to guest VMs to create the following guest clusters:1. Microsoft Failover Cluster (MSFT)2. Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) Cluster For more details, refer to following:Guest VM Cluster Configuration (AHV

Hello and thank you for the advice, I administer 1 block, 3 node cluster on NX-1065-G4 hardware, power is 110v. Following is the software versions:Version 5.10.10.1 LTS - Pro LicenseNCC Version: 3.9.4.1LCM Version: 2.3.2.3.20029AHV Version: 20170830.396HA reservation is enabled Can you please describe, or link to a KB which will help me understand, how a node failure will cause VM fail-over to another node? For instance, if node 1 fails, how and when with the workload fail-over? What configuration settings do I need to consider to optimize the workflow?

Hi there,We are currently deploying (and testing) Karbon as K8 orchestration platform for all our Nutanix platforms (worldwide). I have failed installation attempts from Prism Central.As a side note, we are using VPN Site2Site from centralised Prism Control and I can reach remote K8 VLAN from distant Nutanix deployment. The reachout tests were done with small VM belonging the the K8 VLAN testing node and via private CIDR (bidirectional tests), but utilizing the same encrypted VPN channel.This is what I’m having from karbon_core.out (PCVM):2021-10-13T21:17:12.687Z ssh.go:153: [DEBUG] [k8s_cluster=RGS-PA-K8-STAGING] On 10.20.25.130:22 executing: docker plugin inspect nutanix2021-10-13T21:17:12.825Z ssh.go:166: [WARN] [k8s_cluster=RGS-PA-K8-STAGING] Run cmd failed: Failed to run command: on host(10.20.25.130:22) cmd(docker plugin inspect nutanix) error: "Process exited with status 1", output: "Error: No such plugin: nutanix\n[]\n"2021

Hi,Is there any limitation on mixed hardware generation in one cluster Nutanix? Example old generation like G5 want to mixed with G8. Thanks

Hey everyone - we have 2 brand new nodes that need to be added to an existing cluster.  We enabled RDMA when we ran Foundation on that cluster and now need to add 2 additional nodes.  Do we run the script to choose which card to enable RDMA on before we add to the cluster?  Just looking for guidance on the correct way to ensure it is enabled on the new nodes as well. Thanks!
