Deployment Success

I’m getting a:Firmware version is S560301N of Innodisk host boot disk/ dev/…. of model SATADOM-SL 3IE3 V2 is out of date.  AHV EnvironmentDell referes to the Nutanix support.  Can someone post the actual download link/ the download area? Thanks,

I am attempting to automate the data-at-rest encryption setup on our clusters and I am struggling with the certificate upload api.  Does anyone have examples of using this api or could help me figure out how to make it work?  Prism V2 APIPost:/data_at_rest_encryption_certificates/svm_certificates/multi_file {  "certificate_map": {},  "key_management_server_name": "string"} I am not sure what to enter for the certificate_map.  Is the the contents of the certs, a file, or something else?   

Hello everybody, I searched everychere but I didn’t find what I wanted. I will explain you my problemI need to update the disk on a VM but I have about 100 VM and I don’t want to update each one by one with GUI on the web interface of the Prism Central interfaceI want to know what is the best way to do it. I think that is possible with acli but I don’t find command to do it or with API but with it I don’t know if i’s possible but I guess that it isThank to all for helping me

Where can I download AHV 20190916.321?  or any AHV versions?

I’m trying to submit a trouble ticket with Nutanix support to see if they can help free up the licenses from systems 21 and system 24, so we can use those slots for 2 other systems. Devices are below:System 2117SM1322002117SM13220009 System 24 16AP1337000716AP13370009 Thank you,Chris Norfleetchristopher.norfleet@navy.mil

MetisMetis ToolMetis allows you to qualify and integrate your hardware with Nutanix software.Nutanix delivers Metis as an .ova or QCOW2 file depending on the hypervisor. Deploy it on a separate utility node or on a laptop using VirtualBox.Note: If you host Metis on a laptop, make sure that the laptop stays running and connected throughout the entire process.After using Metis, submit the results to the Nutanix Elevate portal. Nutanix uses the results to assess whether the individual hardware components or the entire platform configurations meet the standards to support Nutanix software.Infrastructure Requirements Foundation VM X-Ray VM DHCP server Elevate PortalDetails of the Nutanix Elevate portal.Nutanix maintains a web portal called the Elevate portal as a central location for FleX information, which includes Metis.After you run tests on your component or platform using Metis, you can upload the results to the Elevate portal.When you create a qualification ticket in the Elevate p

OverviewFleX Driver Development KitDriver development overview.About this taskNutanix provides the FleX Driver Development Kit (DDK) to help developers build, inject, qualify, and distribute new drivers.Use the DDK to build a Linux kernel with one or more loadable kernel modules. The DDK builds a Linux kernel tar file that you can use as an input for Metis.In general, the driver development procedure is as follows:Procedure Prepare the compile environment. Prepare the source code to compile. The source can be an updated kernel source tree or one or more out-of-tree kernel module. Compile the kernel and modules to create the kernel tar file with the driver. Use the new kernel tar file as an input for Metis. Use Metis to qualify the new kernel and driver. Submit the driver source code (source rpm), qualification results, the procedure for building the driver, and release notes though your qualification ticket on the Elevate portal.

Hi,We’re currently moving from Nutanix Hyper-V cluster to a Nutanix AHV cluster. We’re running Windows 10 VDIs on these clusters, currently we use BGInfo to display various settings for our users (VDI name, IP Address, Host Name). On Hyper-v it creates a registry key on the VDI with the Host that the VDI is running on. Does anyone know how i fins this information when running on a AHV cluster..?Thanks

Hi,Has anyone recently integrated Nutanix Platform and Service Now, can someone give us some input. RegardsRavi

Read beginner question, but I don’t understand what’s going on.Often I’m asked to create a VM and boot from an ISO. But often, when I add the ISO to the Images, it’s added somehow broken. It has no size, and attempting to mount it as a CD/DVD doesn’t work- because that image is not available to be chosen- it’s not in the list.The images list starts off like this. There’s two Linux isos that are fine, and some Server 2016 ISOS that work fine.Name Description Type Size Creator CentOS-8-Full CentOS 8 (Full ISO)   ISO 7.67 GiB - en_windows_server 2019 v1909.iso Server_2019 ISO - myself@somewhere.com Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-34-1.2.iso Fedora Linux 34 ISO 1.87 GiB myself@somewhere.com           But the ISO i was given and told was the installation ISO for Server 2019 doesn’t seem to be that. I deleted it from the image store and re-added it, and it still has no size and doesn’t appear in the list of items when you try to mount it as an imag

I wanted to see what other people in the Nutanix community are doing in regards to plans to recover from Ransomware for VMs that run on Nutanix and Files on Nutanix Files file servers? I have heard that the snapshots in Nutanix are immutable is that a true statement?

I have an end-of-life device and the support portal is out of service. How can I access the files I need to download?

Can anyone tell me about the nutanix license If pro license expired. Will there be assistance when opening the ticket?And the license status is pro or starter?Thanks

The instructions for shutting down a cluster are to use “sudo shutdown -P now” on the CVM’s in the cluster to shut each one down, but the command only works on the first CVM.   The command errors out the rest of the CVMs because they can’t reach the first CVM that was shut down.   Am I missing something?

Hi Everyone, My Nutanix cluster had 4 node running AHV version Nutanix 20170830.337 and AOS version 5.10.9.1 LTS.Suddenly, one of the node had CVM unreachable issue. When I’m running cluster status command got message 1 CVM down.I’m try to run nodetool -h 0 ring got something like this. When I’m issue cmd ncli host list. I’m notice the problem node got this message “Node marked to be added back to metadata store”1 of my colleague try to repair host boot device but no luck. What should we do now?  

While moving our vm’s from our old storage (ESXi) to our new storage (AHV) two of our vm’s are stuck on consolidating the disk and removing snapshots. Because of this the move to AHV keeps failing and we can’t shutdown the guest while it is consolidating. Any ideas on how we can fix this?

You can protect a guest VM either with a protection domain in Prism Element or with a protection policy in Prism Central. If you have guest VMs in protection domains, migrate those guest VMs to protection policies to orchestrate their disaster recovery using Leap Migration from protection domains to protection policies is a disruption process. For successful migration, Ensure that the guest VMs have no on-going replication. Ensure that the guest VMs do not have volume groups. Ensure that the guest VMs are not in consistency groups.  To migrate a guest VM from a protection domain to a protection policy manually, perform the following procedure. Procedure: Unprotect the guest VM from the protection domain Do not delete the guest VM snapshots in the protection domain. Prism Central reads those guest VM snapshots to generate new recovery points without full replication between the primary and recovery Nutanix clusters. If you delete the guest VM snapshots, the VM data replicates
