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!

HI Expert, Can some one share  me link to where i can find nutanix IaaS with low latency solution. We wanted to show to our one of our important client.please help me with link/PPT/PDF  Thx - Sudhir 

Technical Question on upgrade :Customer has existing 1365-G6 cluster nodes. We are offering him an additional 1N upgrade of 1165-G7 or 1165-G8. I wanted to confirm :1. If we can add this 1 Node of G7 / G8 into the G6 Slot ?( please provide relevant KB article).2. If the above isn't possible, then can G6 nodes still be ordered as upgrade?3. If we order an upgrade of 1N 1165-G7 or G8 will you be provding the Block chassis with just the 1 Node and any special instructions to be mentioned. 

I am trying to migrate the VM’s for Nutanix ESXi cluster to Nutanix AHV cluster but in the environment its not listing. but when i tried to migrate from Non Nutanix ESXi to Nutanix AHV and Nutanix Cluster, the VM’s are getting migrated successfully.

Things won’t always go to plan and the worst will happen. In this case, we lose 2 nodes from our 9 node rf2 cluster (e.g. one’s down for maintenance, someone forgets and reboots another node at the same time).  Can someone point me at some documentation that outlines how we can recover from this and get the cluster back up and running. Is there any permanent fallout?Thanks. 

What are the different AOS License options for enabling Data at Rest Encryption.

I need this type of solution two VM on different node in same cluster using same storage  on both VMs

Nutanix Move is a cross-hypervisor mobility solution to move VMs with minimal downtime. Move supports migration from the following sources to targets, where first platform being the source and second platform being the target. MOVE-where to where?From ESXi to AHV, Legacy ESXi to Nutanix ESXi,AHV to EC2, Azure to AHV, Azure to ESXi on Nutanix,Hyper V to ESXi on Nutanix,HyperV to AHV, HyperV to Nutanix on AWS. What can MOVE do for you?Migration of power on/off VMs,pause and resume migration,schedule the migration activity,centralized platform for migration between several clusters,schedule data-seeding for the virtual machines in advance and cut over to a new AHV cluster, cancel migrations, monitor the migration activity at granular level. Deployment of MOVEThe MOVE package is available in the downloads section of the portal and can be installed on AHV or ESXi. Move must be able to communicate with vCenter Server on port 443, ESXi hosts on 902 and 443, and AHV on 9440. The move package m

we are using a two node cluster connected with a witness VM, issue is we are facing a downtime of 5 minutes because of transfer of windows vm from failure node to healthy node. we don't want any downtime because we are running Product Of Sell (POS) services in windows. we need seamless solution (e.g without breaking continuous ping).we don't want migration the issue is when the Vm is running on node A and node A fails, it took 5 minutes to start Vm on node B in failover condition ,so it create downtime we don't want this downtime.

While getting some stats for a vm the behavior seems to be different depending on the stat.Is there any documentation for specific stats? Sample Call:metrics: controller_avg_read_io_size_kbytes,controller_avg_io_latency_usecsstartTimeInUsecs: 1631290740000000intervalInSecs: 3600Output (see below):stat controller_avg_io_latency_usecs - give the expected output of a value for each interval since the input start timebut for stat controller_avg_read_io_size_kbytes - A single value is returned. What is the meaning of single value? Is it just the read at that point in time? Or is any calculation done behind the scenes? { "statsSpecificResponses": [ { "successful": true, "message": null, "startTimeInUsecs": 1632404100000000, "intervalInSecs": 3600, "metric": "controller_avg_read_io_size_kbytes", "values": [ 127 ] }, { "successful": true, "message": null, "startTimeInUsecs": 1631290740000000, "intervalInSecs": 3600, "

Hello, I have a 3 node cluster with RF 2 configured. When All the nodes are up and running I can see Total Cluster resources as below on the Prism Element.CPU - 388 Ghz RAM - 4.5 TB ( 1.5 TB Per Node) Storage - 32.9 TB  Let’s say If 1 node fails, Will my Available Storage size reduce? Please Help me. Also, I don’t understand one thing, I have Total 42 SSD of 1.92 TB = 80.64 TB, But in reality with RF2 why am I getting only 32.9 TB (without any data efficiency options enabled). I should Ideally get 40 TB of usable space. I checked on the storage sizer portal and it said I should get 63 TB. Please guide guys, what am I missing.

While trying to get the list of vms using the rest api v2 against a Hyper-V configurationThe api return the following error message  "Exception while retrieving entities : Hypervisor hyperv not supported" https://www.nutanix.dev/reference/prism_element/v2/api/vms/get-vms-getvmsThere is no mention of api v2 not supporting this, is it meant to be supported? If not how can we get the list of vms from it? Do we need to revert back to V1 api? This one returns the vm list but looking at the v1 v2 documentation the recommendation is to migrate to v2, so would just like some clarification.Also if we need to go back to V1 for hyper-v will any of the endpoints for in api V2 that require a VM_uuid work for a vm hyper-v or not? Since those uuid were returned by the V1 apiFor example:https://www.nutanix.dev/reference/prism_element/v2/api/flr/get-flr-vm-uuid-attached-disks-getattachedflrsnapshotofvmhttps://www.nutanix.dev/reference/prism_element/v2/api/flr/get-flr-vm-uuid-snapshots-getflrsnapshotsof

I am new and watching all videos. I try to set up nutanix like proxmox 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.
