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.

Any have integrated calm with files? Create a blueprint to create, update, mount and delete a share from nutanix files?

 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.

Hello,I´m new in this forum. In fact I´m new in the Nutanix world. We currently have a traditional VMWARE cluster with traditional FC SAN Storage and Catalyst 3850 switches (7 servers).We are planning to replace it with a brand new solution based on NUTANIX (with 6 nodes or so) but using VMWARE as hypervisor. The question that arise are:We need to install 2 new “top of the rack” switches for NUTANIX connections. If using Cisco (and taking into account our proposed cluster size) which one could we use ? I mean, Catalyst 9300 are ok ? Or they have to be the more expensive Nexus ?  To reduce initial costs we are planning to keep the Cat 3850 to act as coreswitch and also because we need to conect other devices, but we need to ones for the new nodes. Our current VMWARE Servers have 2 x 10G connection for DATA/VEEAM BK and 2 x 1G for vSphere MGMT/vMotion. In order to cope with data traffic but also with “disk sinc” traffic, should we provide the new nodes with  4 x 10G (2 for DATA/veeam BK

Hi,Having an issue migrating a Windows Server 2019 OS into Nutanix. We are using version 4.1.0 of Move and we have successfully migrated one VM already. However this 2nd VM fails with a “Query Changed Page Ranges” failed message. It appears to be able to create a snapshot of the disk but then fails after a while. Any ideas?

hello all i am in this tight situation. as i have AOS PRO license i only can do is Async replication but i really need to make the RPO 0 so, i am thinking to leverage application level replication. for example in exchange application I want to leverage DAG replication method to be able to sync both main and DR site with RPO=0so my question if i do this configuration and take out my exchange server from any protection domain, do you think Nutanix would still give me support if the replication process have a fault after time?

Hi all,I’m trying to use terraform to create VMs on our Nutanix cluster and I’ve encountered issues when trying to define the project name i’m trying to assign the new VM to.I have created a variable that contains the project name and set the project_reference on the machine to point to that variable.When running terraform plan everything seems to be working as expected but when i apply the terraform, the terraform crashes with the following error:│ Error: Plugin did not respond││   with nutanix_virtual_machine.tf-build-project-test[0],│   on main.tf line 75, in resource "nutanix_virtual_machine" "tf-build-project-test":│   75: resource "nutanix_virtual_machine" "tf-build-project-test" {││ The plugin encountered an error, and failed to respond to the plugin.(*GRPCProvider).ApplyResourceChange call.

I’m attempting to import an RVTools into the Sizer tool. I want to exclude some of the VMs before import by editing the RVTools file.  When I edit the file and try to import, I get an error “Host cluster cell not found”There are more than 300 VMs, so I can’t import on the VM level and just disable the individual workloads there.Any ideas or methods anyone would suggest to editing the RVTools beforehand? Thanks in advance!

We have a lab setup with 3 Nutanix nodes in one cluster with model NX-1175S-G6, this Servers have a 2x10GbE ports on each and we have a network switch which is unfortunately Gigabit Ethernet switch DGS-1210-52MP (does not have any 10 GbE switch available right now) for our lab setup.  and I want to bridge successfully an active-active bond and LAG,LACP will be enabled and configured on the switch . and I want to make sure the speed is negotiated and to able to work with 1 GbE. Also has a need a no more massage  from ncc check “CVM is not uplinked to any 10Gbps nics on bridge/vSwitch br0”. So any expert advice will be taken seriously. Thanns in advance for your suggestions.
