Deployment Success

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!

Hi, I just created a new account and wanted to activate the serial number for our NX-1065S-G5.I cannot activate because I’m not authorized for the account associated with the serial number.The mail-domain from our company changed and the old admins are not here any more.What to do?

I have 5 nodes equipped with 2*3.2TB NVMe SSD and 6* 1.92TB SATA SSD. of every one. all nodes are connected with 25Gb network. all nodes upgarde from AOS 5.15 to 5.20From the nutanix bible, in the scenarion with NVMe SSD + STATA SSD, the oplog will only reside in the NVMe SSD, and not in SATA SSD.So that is mean all the random write will first write in NVMe SSD and then drain to all the NVMe SSD+ SATA SSD?all the sequential write will pass OPlog and only writhe to extent store parally in all NVMe SSD + SATA SSD? How about the read I/O path? In some test, I found that when I do some I/O operation in VM, All the device (NVMe and SATA) have I/O counters and the IOPS are roughly the same in the prism-hardware--disk page. Seems the fast speed of NVMe SSD cannot be utilized.Does you have any suggestions to prove the fast performance improve by used NVMe in the nodes.I also checked that the disk status, as the folloing: It is used SPDK.================== 172.88.61.131 =================Slot  D

We have a Nutanix lab with 3 HPE PROLIANT DX360 GEN10 hosts. After we have done our tests, now we want to destroy everything and re-install everything again. What is the best way to proceed?

VStore refers to a separate mount point that is created with its own NFS namespace in a storage container. VStore Protection DomainThe namespace of a VStore is mapped to the protection domain when you protect the VStore. Such a protection domain is termed as VStore protection domain. A VStore protection domain allows you to protect the VStore. You can also unprotect the protected VStore. Files in a protected VStore are replicated to a remote site at a defined frequency. You can recover these files from the remote site in the event of a disaster. A Nearsync replication schedule of as little as 20 seconds to protect a VStore can be configured. VStore Mapping for Data Protection Nutanix recommends mapping the VStore container in the primary site to a container in the remote site. If a container containing a protected VStore in the primary site is not mapped to a specific container in the remote site, the container in the primary site is automatically mapped to the default (Self-Service) c

Hi there. I believe it was 5.18+ that the reverse proxy (apache) is no longer being used for cluster communication but something else. I can’t quite recall what it was called and where the logs can be found. Prior, I could access the httpd logs in the typical location for any http errors/faults but am not sure where to locate these now. 

I am new and watching all videos. I try to set up nutanix like proxmox CE with:3 x Dell R710 Hosts (nutanix installed on usb internal drive)1 x Dell R720 Freenas 20TB storage connected with direct Fiber With proxmox fiber channel setup was a nightmare, so can I use Fiber Channel here with Nutanix? My goal is if one of a host dies I have other VMs be ready | transferred into another host so like in VMWARE (pricy license). Let me know if I can achieve same with Nutanix and direct me towards hardware (Fiber Channel or 10GB ISCSI) whatever is easier and works well.There was a reply but I did not have a chance to reply.Can I use Nutanix for storage or I have to have 3rd party software like FreeNas?

Calm is integrated into Prism Central and does not require you to deploy any additional VMs. To start using Calm, you just have to enable Calm from Prism Central.  Please ensure, you have met the prerequisites to enable Calm. If the Prism web console is not registered from a Prism Central and the application blueprints have subnet, image or VMs on the Prism web console, the Calm functionality is impacted. Procedure:  Log on to Prism Central with your local ADMIN account. For detailed information on how to install and login to Prism Central, see the Prism Central Guide. From the Prism Central UI, click Services ->Calm Click Enable Note that the Enable option appears only if you have logged on to the Prism Central with the local ADMIN account. When Calm is enabled, an extra 8 GiB RAM for large Prism Central and 4 GiB for small Prism Central is allocated automatically to maintain the performance of the infrastructure.  To access Calm, click Services → Calm from the entities menu.  

Good morning; not sure if this is the right place to ask. Have cloned the “Super Admin” role via the UI and this only transfers partial permissions. Following Nutanix KB article: 00006224, dated: 8th Apr 2020 … https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/kbs/details?targetId=kA00e000000LKhrCAGIt says we need to use REST API Explorer. I have extracted all the permissions from the default SA role, and created the JSON to ‘PUT’ these permissions into the cloned role but this is not working and I get a response code 422 and "'name' is a required property"Does anyone have some sample code that actually works that I can compare to?My code looks like this (example) {  "spec": {    "name": "<cloned role name here>",    "resources": {       "permission_reference_list": [            {              "kind": "permission",              "name": "Snapshot_Virtual_Machine",              "uuid": "<uuid here>"            },             <repeated, repeated, repeated!!>          ]        }

Hello, I am trying to add one new node in my existing Dell Nutanix cluster, we use Dell XC Servers but due to some reason, I don't want Dell to be added as a new node so 4th node would be Nutanix powered hardware ..would that work? How about hardware compatibility ? especially for the processor.

Hello, I not access to internet through http proxy nutanix. All parameters are configured correctly. What is the problem?

I need to identify the liquid space we own at our cluster.I use the logical or physical volume to identify this information ?  

What is the difference between metro availability and Near Sync?

Hi there.A security check on my nutanix clusters (8 nodes) revealed that the IPMI port on every nodes is vulnerable cause the VNC protocol is used to access them through port 5900.Issue:"...Virtual Network Computing (VNC) provides remote users with access to the system it it installed on. If this service is compromised, the user can gain complete control of the system...."Remediation:"...Remove or disable this service..."What are my options? It is possible to disable these ports without affecting the performance of the NUTANIX cluster.Thanks in advance.

I am configuring the LACP on our two clusters, when I did in the cluster 2 is ok, but the same configuration for the cluster 1 does not work.To be sure that is not a mistake on the external switch a put the cluster 2 on the same ports of the that was connected on the cluster 1, and it still working.The problem is that one node (our cluster is with 3 nodes), because it show the link as up, but when I try to modify, either by terminal command or in the prism central settings, the hypervisor on that node goes down and the operation fails, the resilience changes to critical.I need support to identify if it has a problem with the interface.

Would like to know if it’s possible to take CVM/Prism monitors/alerts and feed them into Solarwinds - maybe via an API pollen?Thanks. 

Hello Team,I am working on a project where Nutanix Move will be highly leveraged for migration from Hyper-V, VMware to AHV Cluster. I know the ports that are required to be opened between diff source and destination, however customer is asking for more details as in what is the usage of the ports. Do we have any docs with detailed explanation on port usage? For example usage of ports 2049 (I know its for udp nfs but little more details :))Also some of the follow up questions:Is it mandatory to open port 80 (http) for Nutanix Move to work? Cause in this environment only secured communication is allowed 443 (https) Port 22 used for SSH to Linux VMs - Does it use asymmetric or symmetric encryption?Please advice. Thank you in advance!
