When I go to PrismCentral registration and enter configuration items => deploy, the following message is detected and it will not deploy.~~~~Prism Element is not compatible to enable Microservice Infrastructure: domain name resolution foprism-central.cluster.local failedthe domain name resolution is okay , juste DNS server respond =10;How can we tackle this problem? ~~~~ 

Hello!I’m unable to enable FNS on my test CE nutanix cluster, even after updating both Element and Central to the newest version using LCM.If anyone have any clue of what I’ve done wrong, it would be much appreciated.

Hello, just finished installing a new CE 2.1 cluster to experiment a bit, and a new Prism Central. Trying to enable Network Controller, but it says my cluster is not supported. Is this not a feature supported by CE?Or would I have to use a different Prism Central version?

In my struggle to find some environment to practice/test Nutanix admin stuff, I’ve now come to Nutanix Foundation (NCE 2.0 worked but is old, NCE 2.1 failed on some networking issue in my environment).Is it possible to create a small single node cluster running as a VM in VMware Workstation using for example Foundation?I made a few tries but it seemed Foundation required IPMI access to the host, but VMs in VMware don’t have IPMI (to my knowledge).  It thought maybe a new VM could be recognized by Foundation (tried both the Windows version and the VM) if it had booted DiscoveryOS, but I couldn’t find the Discovery OS image anywhere…Is there a way forward for an installation like this or is it a dead end?

We are starting to migrate from ESXi to AHV, using the MOVE application. And as the title says, all the VMs are stuck on 1280x1024 resolution when they come up on AHV. I’ve tried the “Preferred Resolution” change mentioned hereDisplay resolution in Windows Server 2016 (AHV-VM) stuck to 1280x1024 | Nutanix CommunityI change the Preferred resolution from “<Unset>” to “1920x1080”, but as soon as I exit and boot into Windows, it goes back to 1280x1024 and won’t change. Some posts mention not having Guest Tools installed before the MOVE, but that made no difference for us. I’m stuck at the same resolution, regardless of whether Guest Tools was installed prior to MOVE or not. Nor does the method of access - launch console or RDP, the VM resolution is hard coded to this an

SCSI disk 100gb, 16gb mem, Server 2016 standard desktop experience, dual xeon icelakeLikely other configurations, as this has happened with multiple VMs, still collecting data, but wanted to get something started in case others have experience with this.My first thought is obviously some uefi configuration with boot order or something, but doesn’t really make sense, since it only *seems to happen* right after tool updates. *updated as it’s not like we reboot often, maybe it will happen without updating as well.

Dear Team, I have Dell server T350 with 3 HDD of 2TB and 32GB of memory and 4 Core server. I want to deploy Nutanix AHV(Hypervisor) to that server and provision some VMs for LAB.

Hello,After 3 node cluster deployment, I can see 4 CVMs.Two of them looks like the same VM but duplicated.How to fix it and remove one of them? I cannot update vs0 on the node where two CVMs are placed.AHV/CVM reboot did not help. And I cannot use acli on that node. nutanix@NTNX-b7617012-A-CVM:10.170.0.11:~$ ncli vm list Id : 00062cfc-0318-cd70-17eb-005056b90eac::7fa39b58-506c-40f9-b5b8-54146d84855e Uuid : b452d890-a399-49b3-b415-e975c489d577 Name : NTNX-b7617012-A-CVM VM IP Addresses : 10.170.0.11, 192.168.5.2, 192.168.5.254 Hypervisor Host Id : 00062cfc-0318-cd70-17eb-005056b90eac::5 Hypervisor Host Uuid : f20c4224-3d4f-4472-bb79-2

Hi TeamI am trying to setup Prism Central in Nutanix CE. I have configured the required details in Prism Console for deploying prism central. My deployment is failing repeatedly and getting the error saying it’s failed in tarball extraction phase. I have tried multiple times and every time I saw the issue in UI. I went through the /home/nutanix/data/logs/genesis.out logs to get more details on the issue. I found something interesting there. When we start the Prism central deployment, it first tried to download the prism central tarball and unzip it. One it’s unzipped then it’s start to convert the qcow2 file to image. when it start to convert the qcow2 → image , the command is configured with a timeout of 1800 sec. Please have a look into the below log line. 2024-07-01 08:55:17,702Z INFO 25030000 uvm.py:1606 Running cmd ['/usr/bin/timeout', '1800', '/usr/local/nutanix/bin/qemu-img', 'convert', '-p', '-f', 'qcow2', '-O', 'raw',

Hello,We are working on provisioning and deploying Cisco Firepower Threat Defense Virtual (FTDv) on Nutanix AHV using an API-based approach. Previously, we used Nutanix API for ASAv deployment, and now we want to validate whether FTDv can be fully provisioned using Nutanix API alone, without requiring manual steps during deployment as discussed in following https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/firepower/quick_start/consolidated_ftdv_gsg/ftdv-gsg/m-ftdv-nutanix-gsg.html. What We Are Trying to Achieve: Upload Cisco FTDv Image – Since FTDv requires a QCOW2 image, we need to upload it to Nutanix Image Service first.

We are planning to renew license for below nodes Nutanix(HCI) NX-1265-G7-2 Nodes Nutanix(HCI) NX-8135-G7-3 Nodes But in the same cluster we have four G5 nodes as well, When we try to apply core license through PC, It doesn’t allow us to only license G7 nodes and we need to select all the cores from all the nodes, It seems that we need to separate the G7 nodes from the cluster just for the licenses to apply, Are we missing anything ?

Hello,After 3 node cluster deployment with CE edition.After fresh installation, I am trying to use LCM to install Software upgrades.

A client has requested to migrate a Windows Server VM (Domain Controller) installed in a VMWare ESXi cluster to the Nutanix cluster with AHV. I have only migrated Windows and Linux VMs with Nutanix Move, in this case I do not know if it is advisable to do the migration. I have not found any information on this matter. I would appreciate if you could tell me if it is possible to migrate the Domain Controller without any problems or if it is advisable to create a new VM configured as a Domain Controller in Nutanix. If it is possible to do the task with Nutanix Move, how should I do it? Thank you.
