When you open the console window after assigning the GPU to the vm as Passthrough and turning it on, "guest has not initialized the display" appears.When changing to uefi -> bios legacy, the console screen is displayed. What is the difference and is there a way to do it in uefi environment?

We’re over a hump day, and I would like to share an insight that may come handy to those of you that upload binaries to their clusters manually. Did you know that you have seven days to use the upgrade package that you uploaded to the cluster manually before it is removed from the file system? That’s right. Even if you have triggered pre-upgrade checks for the version, but the package is not used it deleted automatically. Make sure to clean up uncompressed software location and check the /home space on a CVM before you re-attempt the upload.KB-10300 Uploaded AOS upgrade binary is unavailable on Prism has more information To wrap your head around upgradesAll things considered — upgrade sequence and preaparation guidelinesFoundation of a successful upgrade - up to date FoundationNutanix upgrades FAQ: AOS, LCM, NCC, Hypervisors, Files

The Acropolis Operating System (AOS) provides the core functionality leveraged by workloads and services running on the platform Building upon the distributed nature of everything Nutanix does, we’re expanding this into the virtualization and resource management space.  AOS is a back-end service that allows for workload and resource management, provisioning, and operations. This gives workloads the ability to seamlessly move between hypervisors, cloud providers, and platforms. Acropolis Services: It is an internal service which runs on each CVMAn Acropolis Worker runs on every CVM with an elected Acropolis Leader which is responsible for task scheduling, execution, IPAM.Acropolis Leader Task scheduling & execution Stat collection / publishing Network Controller (for hypervisor) Acropolis Worker Stat collection / publishing VNC proxy (for hypervisor) Above diagram shows conceptual view of the Acropolis Leader / Worker relationship Dynamic SchedulerEfficient scheduling of resou

When trying to move from esxi to AHV of a VM with OS Debian 10, I get an error 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 it OS not supported?

Volumes support ability to boot an Operating System over iSCSI for physical servers. In this configuration, a host can start a supported Operating System from a LUN instead of a Local Disk instance.This procedure describes how to configure Network Adapter BIOS Settings to enable this feature.Important Points:Refer to Intel Ethernet Adapter Vendor Documentation for more details about  Intel iSCSI Boot Configuration. According to Intel, we might be able to configure these settings through Adapter's Properties > Data Options Tab in Microsoft Windows Device Manager. Check Volumes Requirements and Supported Clients for a list of the supported network hardware and clients. Refer to Enable Nutanix Volumes and read about the procedures to perform on the Nutanix cluster. Before performing an iSCSI target discovery of the Nutanix cluster, configure BIOS boot settings for the network adapter as described in these stepsFor Step-By-Step Guide, Refer to Link

Many users try to periodically execute the NCC health checks as a good offensive tactic against any issues that might appear within their cluster, which is a great idea! However, rather than writing that down as a reminder somewhere or simply trying to remember to do so, many do not realize that this task can be scheduled right from within Prism.The task can be configured to execute as per the following schedules: Every 4 hours Every Day Every Week When choosing the every day or week options, you are also presented options to configure the execution according to a specific time of the day and specific days of the week respectively.What happens with the results when the scheduled NCC checks are executed? An email is sent to the email recipients configured within the Alert Email Configuration settings of the cluster.For more information, including the specific procedures for configuring this feature, please refer to the Scheduling and Automatically Emailing NCC Results section of the

We have a customer that asks if they can use the serial port to pass data to the VMs and then get that data sent out from the servers? Does anyone know if this can be done with the serial ports for the Nutanix NX-3460-G7

A Nutanix cluster relies upon passwordless secure-shell (SSH) connectivity between the controller VMs (CVMs) and the hosts. If you are ever prompted for a password when attempting to connect from a CVM to a host using SSH (instead of being taken directly to the host shell), this could indicate that there is an issue with the SSH key exchange. This could also manifest as other issues such as a hypervisor upgrade failing due to the inability to copy the upgrade bundle to the host. However, please be aware that a prompt for a password could also indicate that a username is being attempted for connection which is not configured for passwordless authentication (i.e. not using the “root” username to login to an AHV or ESXi host).A host SSH key exchange issue can sometimes be resolved by verifying that an entry for the public key from each CVM is maintained within the authorized_keys file of each of the hosts. If an entry for any of the CVMs is missing, it can simply be added back with a manu

Hi Community, I want to know how many time is necessary run the collector in the environment of user. In the manual and video about collector, doesn’t said it. The excel file is create immediate? Or, is necessary run many days?

Hello All,I have successfully installed Prism Central and it has been working well. I have configured a “view” under the focus button in the vm’s menu; however, this setting will not stay once I log out and back in. Currently the process is once I log back in I need to click on focus and pick my view. Is there a way to make that my default view? Maybe tie the view to my user account? I have included and image below to help.  Thanks,Scott

Hello,Can I please get an explenation of the different commands? Cheers!

I have a setup with two subnets in the (same) native vLAN. The first subnet is (kind of) forced on me by Unifi (router, switch, APs in in the native vLAN) and I created the second subnet for Nutanix (recommendation ist only Nutanix devices/VMs in the same subnet). Now I need a router or routes configuration in the Nutanix subnet to get access to the other subnet and the internet. What do you suggest to achieve this in a simple way or what is the recommended way of doing that?

Hi All,Does anyone know the command ovs-appctl lacp/show br0-up it show:slave: eth3: current attached          port_id: 2          port_priority: 65535          may_enable: true            actor sys_id: 0c:c4:7a:1e:3e:6e          actor sys_priority: 65534          actor port_id: 2          actor port_priority: 65535          actor key: 1          actor state: “activity timeout aggregation synchronized collecting distributing”I have set lact rate fast on both nexus switch and nutanix,but what it means “activity timeout aggregation synchronized collecting distributing”“activity timeout aggregation synchronized collecting distributing” Will it affect the quality of the network ? Thank you

One of my physical disks failed because it had a loose connection in the drive bay. Where do I reset a flag for the failed disk or something similar that Nutanix tries again with the same disk?(xpost: https://www.reddit.com/r/nutanix/comments/j4jl4f/how_to_reset_failed_disk/)

I set up a new cluster and I don’t know why “Uplink Configuration” shows “No Uplinks”. What can be the reason for that?  (See: “PRISM/console/#page/network” » "+ Uplink Configuration" » “NIC Configuration” » Dropdown shows only one unselectable option: “No Uplinks”). 

Let’s say you want to know what are the uses and differences between Prism Element, Prism Central and Prism Pro   Nutanix Prism is the centralized management solution for Nutanix environments, however, Prism comes in different flavors depending on the functionality needed.   Prism Element: It is a service already built into the platform for every Nutanix cluster deployed. It provides the ability to fully configure, manage, and monitor Nutanix clusters running any hypervisors, however, It only manages the cluster it is part of.    Prism Central: It is an application that can be deployed in a VM or in a scale/out cluster of VMs (Prism Central Instance) that allows you to manage different clusters across separate physical locations on one screen and offers an organizational view into a distributed environment. Each Prism Central VM can manage 5,000 to 12,500 VMs, where Prism Central Instance (a three Prism Central VMs cluster) can manage up to 25,000 VMs.   Prism Pro: It is a feature set

There are several ways to move a VM from one cluster to another.A. For moving a VM from Non-Nutanix cluster to Nutanix use Nutanix Move available on the PortalNutanix Move is a cross-hypervisor mobility solution to move VMs with minimal downtime.B. For Moving a VM from one Nutanix cluster to another use Asynchronous Disaster Recovery Between On Premise Data CentersSummary of stepsConfigure a Remote Site on Cluster A Create a Protection Domain on Cluster A. Add the VM to be moved to this Protection Domain. Power Off the VM Create a schedule for (N) hours temporarily and initiate a full replication. After replication is complete, restore the VM from snapshot on cluster B and power on the VM. Unprotect the VM from Protection Domain, Delete the schedule, snapshots and Protection Domain on cluster A.

Hi Team,We have three node (NX-8155 ) cluster connected to nexus switch.Vlan Tag for CVM and Host : 600Vlan Tag for Guest/Prod : 10All are in same subnet ( Host IP : 172.21.10.x/24 , CVM IP : 172.21.10.x/24  and Guest/Prod Network : 172.21.10.x/24  )We have allowed Layer-2 on Nexus, trunk port traffic and added both Vlans ( 600 and 10)Question:Can we keep all under same subnet ? If so how can I communicate inter-VLan , for the purpose of CVM to communicate NTP,DNS,Monitoring and Internet. Else Can I keep CVM, Host and Guest in same Vlan ? How this will impact broadcast domain and any issue with congestion. Else Can we have two different subnet range for (CVM, Hosts) and Guest with different Vlan (600) and (10)
