Anyone know where I can find the G10 Stencils? I’ve found links to Visio Cafe, but the latest listed is G9.

Is it possible to use this appliance to test the REST API performance of a 3RD party array?We would like to bombard the array with a lot of GET PUT calls and test its performance using XRAY.

Hi everyone,I’m trying to download the latest version of Nutanix Community Edition (CE), specifically v7.1 or newer (ideally matching AOS 7.3). However, I can only find the download link for CE v6.8.1 on the official portal.Does Nutanix still offer CE versions aligned with AOS 7.x (e.g., 7.1, 7.2, or 7.3)? If so, could someone please share the correct download link or guidance on how to access it?Thanks in advance!

Hi,I am using 3xhpe dx 320 Gen 11 want to create 3 Node cluster. After using Foundational tool to create cluster , first it doesnt discover the nodes so have added the nodes manually when i start to create cluster it throws different errors. Connected to switch with LACP and port channel active. It is fresh intallation (Hardware pre installed by nutanix).​@Jeroen Tielen 

Hi. I having a terrible time trying to deploy X-ray in vCenter. It just sits and says updating forever. Attached screen shot. Some questions.X-ray has 2 nics apparently, the second one being labled NODCHP, which is good as we do not have dhcp on the test network we will be doing on. As for the mgt nic/ip, does it need internet access to get anything? The nutanix ports page do not say it does, yet the documetnation states how to add a proxy. I have tried with and without a proxy and it just will just hang on that updating page for days. Can someone point me in a direction to look at? Thank you!

I have a test 3-node Nutanix cluster. Just starting to learn. They are NX G9s. Each node has 4x25GB ports, but during installation only 2 were configured. Is it possible, or even best practice, to islolate the storage traffic from the VM traffic? Ie, maybe configure the unused 2 ports as another vSwtich and run the distributed fabric over that? If so, even possible to do this after install? Apologies for any misunderstandings. 

I create a 3 node cluster on top of ESXi for lab. assign 3 nic in each node. After cluster build  by default 4 nic attach with switch vs0. When i remove 2 nic from the vs0, it automatically hypervisor rolling restart.  How can i remove 2 nic form vs0. I tried from cli but result same.  

I have downloaded the NutanixCli from Prism Central. Instead of using the shortcut desktop app I would like to use with VSCode. Has anyone been able to use it that way? What steps do you have to do to make it work?

I’m trying to enable File Analytics for my Files instance, but I keep getting the error: “Can’t connect to provided domain” when attempting domain join.Here’s my setup and what I’ve verified so far:Environment: AD server, Files server, and File Analytics server are all deployed within the same cluster. Files Configuration: SMB authentication is enabled under Authentication. Administrator account is configured under Manage Roles. Connectivity Checks: From the File Analytics console, I can successfully ping the AD server and perform nslookup for name resolution. Despite these checks, enabling File Analytics for Files still fails with the domain connection error. I’m running out of ideas at this point.Has anyone encountered a similar issue? Are there specific settings or configurations I should double-check? Any guidance or troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated.

I had a previous topic open on this but it’s been a while.  The previous topic concluded that the NICS weren’t compatible so I replaced them and reinstalled Nutanix CE.  It’s now installed but I don’t think it’s picking up the NICS still and I cannot get into the console to see.  The cards are Intel X550 cards.  Any ideas?

Hi, I an trying to run a Capacity and Utilization report in Prism Central Version 7.3.0.6 and I read that the Reports feature was removed and if I wanted to run the report to go to Analytics > Dashboards but I cannot see this either. I am new to Nutanix so any help in the right direction would be grateful.

Good morning,I wanted to get a confirmation: if I have a VMware vSphere environment with VMs configured with Thick Provision disks (for example, a disk with 1 TB of allocated space but 500 GB of actual used space), when I migrate it to a Nutanix AHV environment, which supports only Thin disks, will the migrated VM consume 1 TB or 500 GB of real space on the cluster?Additionally, if only the actual used space is taken into account, why does the Nutanix Sizer, when importing an RVTools file, base its calculations on the allocated space rather than the actual used space shown in the vPartition tab?Thank you.

Hi all,I have 2 sites with a cluster in each site. The workloads are distributed between each cluster. I currently have one Prism Central managing both clusters.I have DR configured to a passive site hosted by a 3rd party in a datacenter in different region.There are resources on each cluster available, so now I want to configure DR between the clusters. At least for the critical VM’s. This should allow me to failover the critical servers quickly if only one site goes down. I’ll use the passive site if both go down.I’m assuming I will need to deploy another PC on the cluster that doesn’t currently have one. Ideally, I still want to manage both clusters from the primary PC in the co-lo facility. Is this possible? Or do I have to unregister the remote cluster from the current PC first then register it to the newly deployed PC then deal with managing each cluster from a different PC?I also read that I should be able to deploy the new PC directly from PE via the “Deploy New Prism Central”
