Deployment Success

I'd like to just confirm, is there any Nutanix web page that lists the supported browsers?The support page below that I bookmark is already deleted.https://portal.nutanix.com/#/page/docs/details?targetId=Portal-Help:sup-browsers-requirements-sp-r.htmlSo I searched similar page in Support portal, but I couldn't find.I know the browser requirements is not necessary information for many people nowadays. However that page is useful for us, so I want to refer substitute one if exist.

Are you still wondering about the following questions?To Which Version of AOS should I upgrade to from my current version? Will it be 1-Click Upgrade or not? What are the EOL versions for AOS, Nutanix Files or Prism Central? What is my software compatibility?Answer to above queries and many other queries is one single Link i.e. Upgrade PathsHere are some snapshots from Tools:Image 1 Image 2

Nutanix appliances support monitoring via SNMP. Only SNMP v2c and v3 versions are supported. SNMP v2c is supported starting with AOS 5.5. In addition, SNMP v2c with Nutanix does not support SNMP GET operations.The MD5 authentication is no longer supported in AOS 4.1 and later. SNMP can be set up using the Prism Web Console or from the nCLI. Setting up SNMP through nCLI Run the following command on any CVM (Controller VM) to add an SNMP user (encapsulate the keys in single and not double quotes). nutanix@cvm$ ncli snmp add-user username=SNMPUser auth-type=sha auth-key='SHAAuthKeyExample' priv-type=AES priv-key='AESPrivKeyExample'    User Name                 : SNMPUser    Auth Key                  : SHAAuthKeyExample    Auth Type                 : sha    Priv Key                  : AESPrivKeyExample    Priv Type                 : AES Privacy protoc

There are times when working with your environment that one of the Linux guest servers will go unresponsive. Nutanix Support may ask for crash dump files from the Linux VM to further analyze the cause.One such method is to use “sysrq”. This utility found on the Linux Guest OS allows access to several essential kernel commands and allow Nutanix Support to take a more holistic approach in trying to find a root cause.NOTE: If the VM is hung/inaccessible and "sysrq" has not already been activated, you may not be able to generate a core dump with the following method. You can configure the "sysrq" when VM is up and running and wait for the future occurrence.For more information on how to activate this feature, take a look at the KB 9066 on the Support Portal

This article provides quick links required for troubleshooting the alert – “Invalid Network Mapping Specified” for your Nutanix cluster.

Hello Guys, We´re currently trying to install a Big IP LTM image on Nutanix using acropolis however it´s not working... it seems we´re missing something. We´ve found a link in regards of this topic but we are receiving a message infoming we have no access to it. Does anyone know how we should proceed in order to install a F5 VE on Nutanix using acropolis? https://next.nutanix.com/archive-44/how-to-install-f5-big-ip-on-nutanix-ahv-8062# (not authorized to access) Thanks in advance!

I posted this earlier in the wrong forum. (Sorry about that. I’m a newb.) I am reposing here. I cannot seem to find the the performance stats in the v3 API that are available by default in the v2 get APIs for vms, clusters, hosts, etc.? Are the performance stats available in v3? If so does anyone know the endpoints. I’ve searched but cannot find them. I suspect v2 is going to be supported for quite a while so I can just use v2 but didn’t what to rule out v3 until I had a good reason to.

 Hello. I have a question about the RF2 function.Currently, it is composed of 4 nodes and RF2 as a cluster.As far as I know, RF2 has 1 node fail.If so, shouldn't the Data Resiliency Status drop to Fail?However, although one node has failed, the Data Resiliency Status is still OK.In fact, the CPU, Memory, and Storage usage in the current cluster is low.Currently only 3 nodes are active CPU is 20% Memory is 40% Storage is 18.5%.Why is the Data Resiliency Status Ok?Is there any problem with the service even if one more node is currently turned off?Or will the cluster die if 1 more Node dies?If you don't die, I want to know why.

Hi.  Prism -> Data Protection -> EventGroups of Async DR run backups only once every Dawn.However, if check the event, I will see several messages per group.If there is a ‘Search’ group, several messages are generated for the 'Search' snapshot in the event.Each has a different time.(AM and PM). How can you explain this process? Thank you.

HelloThank you always for your help.I'd like to update the Nutanix firmware and bios.I'm trying to use LCM.Finish configuring the LCM Darksite Web server.The update list does not appear after LCM registration. We used the latest dark site LCM and nx firmware bundle provided by Nutanix. lcm_dark_site_bundle_2.3.4.1.21375.tar.gzlcm_darksite_firmware_nx_1.6.0.tar What's the problem?

I have a 3 node AHV cluster that uses 2x200GB SSD + 2x6GB HDD disks for each node. Would it be possible to add nodes to this cluster that uses 2x480GB SSD + 2x6GB HDD disks?Option is to first upgrade the 200GB SSD disks to 480GB to align all nodes to the same hardware. Maybe there is some gain in that?

Hello All, I have three NUTNANIX Cluster with below AOS versions. Are any one below is End of life ? AOS                  (updated to version 5.15.2LTS) AOS                  (updated to version 5.10.11.1.LTS) AOS                  (updated to version 5.10.11.1.LTS)

Storage ContainersA storage container is a subset of available storage within a storage pool (see Creating a Storage Container). Storage containers are created within a storage pool to hold virtual disks (vDisks) used by virtual machines.CompressionYou can enable compression on a storage container. Compression can save physical storage space and improve I/O bandwidth and memory usage—which may have a positive impact on overall system performance.Inline compression will compress sequential streams of data or large I/O sizes (>64K) when written to the Extent Store (SSD + HDD).Off

Executive SummaryThis document makes recommendations for designing, optimizing, and scaling Microsoft SQL Server deployments on the Nutanix enterprise cloud. Historically, it has been a challenge to virtualize SQL Server because of the high cost of traditional virtualization stacks and the impact that a SAN-based architecture can have on performance. Businesses and their IT departments have constantly fought to balance cost, operational simplicity, and consistent predictable performance.Nutanix removes many of these challenges and makes virtualizing a business-critical application such as SQL Server much e

Nutanix platforms use a baseboard management controller (BMC) and basic input/output system (BIOS) to control the motherboard.The Nutanix BIOS contains optimized power management settings by default. Please do not change Power Management Configuration settings in the BIOS. Nutanix does not support custom power management configurations, and changing the power management settings in the BIOS can cause unpredictable behavior.Procedures updating the BMC and BIOS:1. Upgrade through LCM2. Manual UpgradeBMC: Nutanix BMC Manual Upgrade GuideBIOS: Nutanix BIOS Manual Upgrade GuideNote: Always upgrade BMC before BIOS

Looking on OS supported to migrate with Nutanix Move v3.6.0 I see CentOS 8.2 as supported but when I add a CentOS 8.2.2004 VM to be migrated from ESXi 6.7u2 to AHV 20170830.434 I get this warning:This VM is not on the AHV supported OS list. To proceed with migrating this VM, please be sure to bypass guest operations and take care of installing AHV device drivers separately. This VM has a guest OS which is not supported on ESXi. Please remove the vm from the migration plan if migrating to ESXi.Is this expected?
