Deployment Success

Hi all, the import SSL certificate form allows me to choose between key’s format. I have RSA2048, ECDSA384 along with other ECDSAs.   I am pretty sure I sumbitted a ECDSA384 key with secp384r1 curve. I can safely paste my key here because it’s now revoked: -----BEGIN EC PRIVATE KEY----- MIGkAgEBBDAzjnBwsncbnlR643ngw7M8/urUzuSVNNGjB84kTxgCyplXsbSuKzyl gxiijfhY3vOgBwYFK4EEACKhZANiAAS5DDtPOWrgYA/XKxzNEM1E3TER7Ol70njH JsQC+WU8lMH4d0s9G9MfIzQ1qHB7PukydkpdwMV2MYpaKpmQyrNO75zeRr/Jle/M 76vLL7FbZP9lzvwVTnJVXttXhBctM0o= -----END EC PRIVATE KEY-----   Please can anyone explain me what’s wrong? Thank you so much! francescm

  I did a node remove operation, but it seems to be completed in the task, but there is no log. Can I know where the task log is recorded in cvm?

Is there a document that guides on how to use Move migration via command line interface?  I know that there is a web GUI tool.  But, I am wondering if there is another way thru CLI.

Hi folks, I have done a successfull VM migration using Nutanix Move 3.5.2 from ESXI 6.5 to AHV 20191030.415. All migration process is validated and fine, the VM can be migrated from ESXI to AHV but it failed when I try to boot in from AHV console as this picture :   

We often ask ourselves, what do these various Upgrades entail and what actually happens during an upgrade. Here is a high-level description of what happens during the various Nutanix core software upgrade processes. I have assumed it is a minimum 3-node cluster and you have already determined the Upgrade version.  Note for all the Upgrade below, it is important to perform health checks before upgrading any component (check KB 2852).   1.

AHV uses Open vSwitch (OVS) to connect the CVM, the hypervisor, and guest VMs to each other and to the physical network.    Open vSwitch: OVS is an open source software switch implemented in the Linux kernel and designed to work in a multiserver virtualization environment. By default, OVS behaves like a layer-2 learning switch that maintains a MAC address table

All services are Up and running. Other CVMs can ping PCVM. Firefox browser loads with Error Message "Secure Connection Failed" and the Code "PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR".     Solution Try one of the 2 methods to resolve this: 1)Try to make new profile via `about:profiles` and set it to default. If it is working, export your bookmarks from the old profile and import them to the new profile. 2) Simply restart the existing profile.       Solution reference from community Mozilla support:https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1267074

Acropolis Dynamic Scheduling (ADS) is responsible to examine the load on various components for hotspots and calculate what migrations can be done to balance the load without causing additional hotspots. Lazan is the dynamic scheduling service for AHV.   Lazan monitors the following resources:   Total CPU usage of each of the guest VMs. Storage controller (stargate) CPU usage per VM or iSCSI target.   Lazan does NOT monitor the following:   Memory. Apart from ensuring its migr

if the ipmi vlan option is disabled and i configured the switch side ports to a specific vlan, Will i be able to reach the ipmi if i connect my workstation to an interface in the switch with same vlan or do i need to enable the vlan option in nutanix and put the vlan tag as well.?

Hello I have a cluster with 3 nodes and AOS 5.10.10 and need upgrade to 5.15 but the nodes not have access to Internet. I upload the AOS 5.15 and show me in the Prism Console the versionm but not permit run the upgrade to new version. Need to know if is possible run the upgrade directly through cli to update the cluster. Thanks for your comments

Did you know you can secure your IMPI Web Interface with an SSL Certificate?   Securing the IPMI Web interface is recommended to help reduce susceptibility to attacks. You can further enhance security by installing your own customized certificate or a CA-signed certificate. Nutanix recommends strong keys and signature algorithms. The IPMI module supports SHA2 and RSA 2048 bit SSL. Avoid long certificate chains or large certificates. If the IPMI module shows the default or previously-installed certificate after you install a new one, or you are unable to log in to the IPMI web interface, the chain is too long (chain length longer than one) or certificate too large. As a test, create a simple self-signed certificate and install it to ensure the IPMI is working correctly before attempting to install larger certificates.  You can use openssl or keytool to generate keys, certificates, and signing requests.

Hello good afternoon, I have a Nodes with black screen and blinking cursor, I want to see if there is a way to reset it or to show me the normal console again. If someone can help me, I really appreciate it, I already tried to generate the Phoenix iso and boot it in ubs and connect it to the node and start but send: udhcpc sending discover Thank you for your cooperation      

Hi team, it’s a question about architecture : ROBO Site customer has two rooms (another one for the witness is possible) customers would like a node in each room  hypervisor : ESXi According to the docs, there's no reason not to do it ? is this architecture supported or not, and better is there somewhere a documentation about this design ? Many thank for your help.

You may get an alert from NCC stating that the deduplication fingerprinting has been disabled, but it is enabled on a container: WARN: Fingerprinting is disabled by stargate, but configured on Storage Container(s) As we know, Stargate is the service that is managing storage on a Nutanix cluster, so Stargate has some conditions on which it will automatically disable deduplication. If the metadata usage is higher than 250Gb on a node.

How long does LVM inventory take?  We have a 7 node cluster and it takes a very very long time to inventory.  There are 202 tasks.  It started an hour and 20 minutes ago and its only on task 63 out of 202.  Is this normal? We are running LCM 2.3.1.3.18618.

  You are trying to expand a new node into the cluster. I am trying to expand after installing ahv,aos(not cluster settiong option) as a foundation on a new node. When do I set the existing cluster ovs settings? Or I am wondering if the setting is automatically entered upon expansion.

Below are new knowledge base articles published on the week of July 5-11, 2020.

In Nutanix nodes, there are SSD disks and SATA disks. Can we create two separate  datastores.  One datastore only contains SSD disks and one datastore only contains SATA disks

Does anybody encountered this kind of error? when migrating ESXI to AOS. After how many hours of seeding, It show this error. However it is ready to cutover, but doesn’t want to proceed further because of this error. I already checked this VM in EsXi, it already have a VMware tools installed. Hope i can get ideas and recommendations from you guys. Thanks!

The default name of the CVM is in the below format: NTNX-<Block serial number>-<Node position>-CVM This is what you see as the CVM name in the PRISM. If you want to change the CVM name in your AHV cluster, then we have a script for changing this with the following limitations. nutanix@cvm:~$ change_cvm_display_name --cvm_ip=<IP of CVM that should be renamed> --cvm_name=<new name> The script is available in AOS - 5.10.10, 5.15 and 5.16. The naming convention needs to start with “NTNX-” and end with “-CVM”,

Prism Central is a centralized management tool that runs as a separate instance comprised of either a single VM or a set of VMs. This multi-cluster view, allows you to monitor and manage multiple clusters through a single web console. If you would like to deploy a Prism Central instance, you can either follow the 1-Click method or the manual method.   Do you have a Prism Central(PC) instance deployed in your environment and are planning to upgrade it? Here is the second installation of the

Has anyone implemented Windows Defender ATP in a Nutanix environment? If so, I'd love to talk about your experience.

Starting from AOS 5.10.2 and newer, if you run the ‘cluster status’ command, you may see that there is a new service running on the cluster called Xtrim. That service was not present before 5.10.2: Xtrim is the service that is going to improve the performance of the cluster. If we look a bit deeper, it improves the write performance by periodically trimming the SSDs. In Nutanix all the disks are passed-through from the host to the CVM and the CVM is managing the disks, so the Xtrim service running on CVMs is doing the trimming of the physical SSDs.  

Hello community, Maybe one of you can assist me for a report of cluster usage. I need a report which gives me the usage of all VMs in a cluster. But I need this information for every VM separated. In the analysis page I can only create a chart for on VM and with over 600 VM this take a long time... I need for a time span of the last 3 month the following information of the VMs IOPS (min,max, avg) RAM (min,max,avg) CPU (min,max,avg) Is it possible with the analysis page or with an cli command ?

I’m about to upgrade vcenter from 6.7 u1 to 6.7 u3. I’m only upgrading the vCenter for now. My AOS version 5.10.8.1 To upgrade only vVenter is there any action to take in PRISM? Will there be any impact on PRISM?   Thanks
