Deployment Success

helloi have three cisco servers ucsc220M7N standalone serverscan i deployment Nutanix AHV cluster on this standalone nodes without  UCSM or Intersight VM ??

This is now CE installation trial #5 or 6 or so. Now this time I went with the official publication and ended up with a PE that doesn’t give me an option to install PC - not even showing AHV Trying to install CE as a VM unter ESXi 7.0.u2 According to the manual I gave the H volume a drive on SSD (with 700GB as the prior trials to install PC always came up with a not enough resource error), for C of NVME 800GB and for D 2TB on the same NVMe After primary deployment I went on with the cluster generation via SSH. End this time ending up with that. The quality of that CE doesn’t really flash me.  

Hi, I have tried API Automation for Move and here is something that I am stuck for Linux based VMs that use SSH Key(PEM) to authenticate to root user.For the POST API for Preparing the Environment /move/v2/plans/{id}/prepare, I use the payload:            payload = {                "APIVersion": "2.2.0",                "Spec": {                    "CommonCredentials": {                    },                    "GuestPrepMode": "auto",                    "RunInBackground": True,                    "VMs": [                        {                            "PemFile": credentials["lpemfile"],                            "Password": "",                            "UserName": "root",                            "UUID": self.vm_details["uuid"],                            "VMId": self.vm_details["vm_id"]                        }                    ]                }

I am trying to list storage containers using prism element V2 API.I want to fetch only required attributes in the response. How can use filter_criteria, search_string and search_attribute_list effectively. Let’s say I want list containers having UUID’s (2 or more). i am not finding details on how to use these. Please share doc link if any.

Dear Folks,I am planning to proceed with the foundation imaging of our Nutanix NX-8170-G9 nodes using a standalone 1GbE switch (small 6 port) . For the initial setup, I will connect the BMC port and the AIOM port (for CVM traffic) to this switch and it will configure Active/Backup.Each node is equipped with two 10GbE LC fibre ports, currently intended for CVM and VM traffic via LACP bonding. My question is:Post-foundation, how can I transition from the temporary 1GbE Active/Backup setup to the intended LACP configuration on the 10GbE interfaces?Is it possible to perform this change via the Prism Element GUI, Or is it necessary to access the CLI through the IPMI console? Could you please outline the recommended procedureThx Calvin

Dear folks, Nutanix KB 3523https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/kbs/details?targetId=kA032000000TUksCAGI followed the instructions under Option 2: Creating an ISO Using a Foundation VM (in case Option 1 couldn’t be performed), and used the following command to generate the Phoenix ISO:[nutanix@nutanix-installer bin]$ ./generate_iso phoenix --aos-package=/home/nutanix/foundation/nos/nutanix_installer_package-release-euphrates-7.0-stable.tar.gz --kvm=/home/nutanix/foundation/isos/hypervisor/kvm/kvm_host_bundle_**.isoThis generated a 6.91 GB Phoenix ISO with AOS version 6.10.1.1 and AHV included.Before booting the actual G9 nodes remotely via IPMI, I tested the ISO on a VMware Player VM. It installed successfully but only showed a Phoenix OS prompt—no CVM interface or cluster setup options appeared, which I understand isn’t the correct way to test it.This is my first time working with the Phoenix ISO.

!--startfragment>Dear Peers,I’ve recently received three new G9 servers and I’d like to image them remotely using ISO files before creating a Nutanix cluster. The target hypervisor is AHV.Is it possible to perform remote imaging using ISO files? If so, where can I download the required AHV images, or how can I create a single ISO image suitable for this process?Any guidance or best practices would be greatly appreciated. Thx Calvin!--endfragment>

i have installed Nutanix SE on a old HPE DX380 Node without problems.

HiI'm using 6.5.2 LTS.I have a cluster consisting of three machines.As you can see in the attached screenshot, on the Prism Element home screen, each resource in the cluster is displayed as "not available."The Storage Summary also shows values that differ from actual usage.I've configured SNMP in Prism Element, and when I use snmpwalk to retrieve values such as hypervisorRxBytes from the monitoring server, the values always show the same.If you know the cause, please let me know. Thank you in advance.

Hello, first time poster. I’ve created a one-node cluster on an intel NUC 10 (NUC10FNH) using latest phoenix image. install went fine after a couple of hardware bumps but node is up, CVM is running etc. The issue I’m having is I can’t power on any VMs I create. It only gives a generic “InternalException” error. In the uhura.out log, there are these entries “Error: HypervisorError: internal error: QEMU unexpectedly closed the monitor” and “qemu-kvm: Address space limit 0x7fffffffff < 0x4bcbfffffff phys-bits too low (39): 61”. Having a hard time trying to make sense of this. I’ve read other people running on the same hardware with no issues, maybe it’s the specific version of the CPU (it’s an i7-10710U). one-node cluster, 64GB RAM, one 500GB m.2 SSD and one 500GB SATA SSD. booting off a 64GB usb drive. Any info would be appreciated. Thank you.
