Hi, Is there any best practices for nutanix with vmware on the container compression. Currently the containers is created with post-process compression. Is it better to choose inline or disabled it. My nutanix nodes are hybrid disk.
Hello i am a developer who develops through nutanix api i Want to know about api roadmap i found out by chance that urlhttps://www.nutanix.dev/2019/01/15/nutanix-api-versions-what-are-they-and-what-does-each-one-do/ when i read that page, i feel curious about api roadmap in nutanix 1. when v2.0 api is advanced, v0.8 or v1.0 is deprecated? 2. when i want to use migrate or snapshot function, i have to use v0.8 api? will some functions(like migrate) continue to be categorized in v0.8, v1.0 and v2.0? and if i get some document about v0.8 api, i want to get them i wait for your answer thank you
Most of our customers upgrade their infrastructure once every couple of months and this guide helps our customers understand how to upgrade and what to expect from the process. In older versions of AOS, upgrades were done using “one click” or “upgrade software”. With LCM available in newer versions, the upgrades are much simpler and straightforward. Here’s the documentation to understand pre-requisites of LCM and how LCM works:https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Life-Cycle-Manager-Guide-v20:Life-Cycle-Manager-Guide-v20 The LCM works on one-node at a time and if the upgrade proceeds to the next node if the scheduled node is successful in upgrading to the target version. The LCM upgrade tasks can be monitored from “LCM” in Prism UI. There is essentially no downtime required for the user VMs during the upgrades. With regards to concerns about performance, it’s always best to schedule maintenance window for the upgrades, especially with the cluster with 1G NIC ca
Hi All, I’m sorry because couldn’t find related k/b on mixed nodes compatibility/requirements in details. Just wondering current latest platform supported for mixed nodes with different OEM hardware model in same cluster? For example: Existing we have 3 x HPE DX360 in same cluster and would like expand with different hardware model/family such as Dell XC family/NX family or HPE higher model like DX380 in same cluster? Appreciate it in advance. John.
Is anyone experiencing random RDP issues to VMs on Nutanix?I’m experiencing random authentication errors when connecting to Nutanix VMs.It’s not the RDP setup as sometimes it works.Is there an setting on Nutanix that might be causing this?
The Prism Central admin user is created automatically, but you can add more (locally defined) users as needed. To add, update, or delete a user account, do the following:Note: To add user accounts through Active Directory, see Configuring Authentication. If you enable the Prism Self Service feature, an Active Directory is assigned as part of that process (see Prism Self Service Overview).Procedure In the Settings menu available from the gear icon, select Local User Management (see Main Menu Options).The User Management dialog box appears.

Hello,I have 2 questions about Storage:Can someone please explain the Deduplication option when setting up storage containers. Is this necessary or recommended? What is the purpose of a Volume Group? Currently we use the whole default storage container for creating disks and dividing out storage to servers. Recently some users have wanted to reserve a few TB for video use and storage. I created a new “video” storage container tapping into the default container for the space. So when I attach the disks to the servers, I pull from this specific container. Would creating and using a Volume Group be better? I don’t understand the purpose of it.ThanksBrent

Can we migrate VM from KVM to Nutanix AOS using MOVE feature?
Hi Everyone,One of the nodes of our cluster suddenly got disconnected. I was not able to ping initially, but after restarting the node and checking if maintenance mode is enabled. Connectivity was regained and all the IPs can be pinged from each other. Even so, the cluster can’t recognize the previously disconnected node even when all pings are good. Tried restarting the cluster and the local CVM but the error below appears:nutanix@NTNX-A-CVM:192.168.50.182:~$ cluster status2021-07-13 07:34:46,652Z WARNING genesis_utils.py:1304 Failed to reach a node where Genesis is up.

I am using MOVE 4.1 and uncovered a bug where the migrated machine network card fails to build properly. In the windows server adapter configuration GUI the NIC shows as configured for DHCP. You can edit that nic by clicking on the IPv4 and assigning an IP and all configuration items. As soon as you save and go back into the settings the IPv4 shows as being DHCP. However; when you do a command prompt ipconfig /all the static IP actually does stick and is configured and the server responds to network pings/dns. Troubleshooting attempted: Delete all registry items for the Network card GUID. Uninstalled adapters from device manager (hidden and visible). netsh winsock reset. netsh interface tcp reset. Deleted NIC and reprovisioned NIC. Rebooted after all action items tested. There is an issue with MOVE 4.1 that has to be causing this and I have a case open with NTX Engineering for resolution. I am rolling back to MOVE 3.7.

The Objects browser is a User Interface (UI) that allows the users to directly launch the object store instance in a web browser and perform bucket and object level operations. This eliminates the steps of logging into Prism Central and launching the Objects service. The administrators use Prism Central to manage the object stores. When an administrator creates an object store, a default bucket (object browser) gets created. The static website hosting capability is already enabled on this default bucket. The Objects Browser UI is hosted on this default bucket is created The administrator can share the object store URL with the user to access the Objects Browser UI. The URL can be formed using the Objects Public IP addresshttp://objects-public-ipaddress/objectsbrowserYou can use http or https to access the web-browser Administrator workflow:The administrator needs to perform the following steps to grant access to the Objects Browser to a particular set.To grant access to Objects Brows

About this taskTo track and record networking statistics for a cluster, the cluster requires information about the first-hop network switches and the switch ports being used. Switch port discovery is supported with switches that are RFC 2674 compliant. Switch port discovery involves obtaining statistics from the Q-BRIDGE-MIB on the switch and then identifying the MAC address that corresponds to the host. Such discovery is currently best-effort, so it is possible that, at times, an interface might not be discovered.Before you beginBefore you configure network switch information in the Prism web console, configure the corresponding SNMP settings on the first-hop network switch.About this taskTo configure one or more network switches for statistics collection, do the following:Procedure Click the gear icon in the main menu and then select Network Switch in the Settings page.Note: Network switch configuration is supported only for AHV clusters.The Network Switch Configuration dialog box ap
Nutanix DR solutions Workflow The following flowchart provides you with the detailed representation of the Nutanix DR solutions. This workflow helps you to understand and decide on which DR strategy is best suited for your environment. This workflow covers all the three DR strategies: Protection Domain based DR Leap (on-prem to on-prem) Xi Leap (on-prem to xi cloud services) DR solutions of Nutanix Nutanix provides disaster recovery in Prism Element Web console with the following Recovery Point Objective (RPO) ranges. Async DR: 60 minutes or greater Scheduled with an RPO greater than or equal to 60 minutes are referred to only as asynchronous scheduled and use full snapshots. Schedules can be configured in terms of hours, delays, weeks and months NearSync DR: Between 1 and 15 minutes Schedules with an RPO between 1 and 15 minutes are called NearSync schedules. In reality, these scheduled are also asynchronous schedules, but they have 15 minute or lower RPOs.
