Hi all I have a 3 nodes cluster with RF2. I keep getting the following critical alert: Cluster can not tolerate 1 node failure(s) and guarantee available rebuild capacity Cluster cannot tolerate 1 node failure. Current usage of 6552243087527 bytes exceeds max limit of 9010877278002 bytes. I’m not sure which storage this error is about, the numbers in the error is way to big to what the cluster actually has. I’ve attached screenshot of the storage of the cluster. Any help will be much appreciated.  

I have exported list of all snapshots running on AHV in our environment. On a few snapshots, VM name is empty. I suspect, this is because VM has been deleted without deleting snapshot. Now how to delete such snapshots? Below is example: Snapshot name is “removing ngt” VM-Name Snapshot-Name Creation-Time   servername Test Snapshot 3/19/2019 11:00    

We are planning to connect 2 stacked Catalyst 9300 to a Nutanix Cluster. While doing research I found a document recommending the Nexus 9300 and specifying that the Catalyst 9300 wouldn't meet requirements for the Data Center. There was no reasoning for this and I would like to know why the Catalyst 9300 switches are not recommended. Thanks in advance, Ingrid

Find the best way to change all of the administrators password on Nutanix. This what I have done: #Changing the admin acct of PE ncli user reset-password user-name=admin password='$NewPassWD$@pe' #Changing the root acct of AHV for i in `hostips`;do echo "--$i--";ssh root@$i 'echo -e "$NewPassWD$@ahv" | passwd --stdin root';done #Changing the nutanix acct of CVM echo "$NewPassWD$@cvm" | sudo passwd --stdin nutanix #Change the ADMIN acct of the IPMI for i in `hostips`; do                 ssh root@$i 'for id in `/ipmitool user list |grep 'ADMIN '|cut -d" " -f1`; do                 echo $id;                 /ipmitool user set password $id "ADMINXXXXXXX";                 done' ; done  ncc health_checks system_checks default_password_check  

I share my software to collect information associated with a Nutanix cluster with AHV hypervisor. Link to download NIACtool v2.1

In the Nutanix Cluster upgrade there are five options Upgrade Software AOS File Server Hypervisor NCC Foundation so what is the correct sequence to upgrade whole stack of nutanix software?  

Hi, I am trying to attach a vdisk to a VM. So far I have found that the only way to create and attach a new vdisk to VM is via this API  POST /vms/{uuid}/disks/attach I am trying using this curl expression: curl -X POST --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --header 'Accept: application/json' -d '{  "uuid": "IDEMPOTENT_UUID",  "vm_disks": [    {      "is_cdrom": false,      "is_empty": false,      "is_scsi_pass_through": false,      "is_thin_provisioned": false,      "vm_disk_create": {        "size": 1,        "storage_container_uuid": "CONTAINER_UUID"      }    }  ]}' 'https://10.10.10.10:9440/api/nutanix/v2.0/vms/VM_UUID/disks/attach' \--insecure --basic --user obfuscated_username:obfuscated_password The task fails and error is: “InvalidArgument: Invalid disk size 0”.

I have read that it is only supported using ESXI. If so, what are the other ways to automate the failover.

We are excited to announce the release of Nutanix Move 3.5.0 Adopting new infrastructure platforms often requires a migration of pre-existing systems. Nutanix Move simplifies bulk migration of existing VMs to Nutanix, eliminating the friction associated with onboarding new IT infrastructure. Businesses can quickly leverage the full potential of Nutanix Enterprise Cloud with near-zero VM downtime during the migration from vSphere ESXi, Hyper-V and Amazon AWS to Nutanix AHV and vSphere ESXi to ESXi on Nutanix. Move also support migration of VMs from Nutanix AHV to Amazon AWS. Nutanix Move 3.5.0 is released and the bits are available on the Portal for Download. Move 3.5.0

This article describes how to rename the CVM entity in Prism within the AHV environment. This does not change the hostname of the CVM displayed in a console/SSH session as the hostname is a value configured within the CMV OS and is independent of the Controller VM name entity recorded in the Prism entity DB (Insights Data Fabric). It is the same name as in CVM’s XML definition on the AHV host. It can be checked by listing VMs on the host. The name displayed is the name that is shown in the Prism Wen console. Starting from AOS 5.10.10, 5.15 and 5.16, change_cvm_display_name script is available on CVM that can be used to change the di

Hey all,   At the suggestion of some people, sharing this video that I’ve created that goes through the VMware upgrade process using Nutanix 1-click functionality. Check it out if you’d like. Apologies in advance for the poor quality - it was the best way for me to hide any confidential info on screen. Cheers!

There may be instances where you'll receive the following alert in your environment      "Cassandra on CVM x.x.x.31 is now detached from the ring due to Node was down for a long time. Node detach procedure done by x.x.x.41."   Before understanding the alert, let's first understand what is Cassandra and the ring-structure?    Cassandra stores and manages all of the cluster metadata in a distributed ring-like manner based up

We make use of a lot of the FIQL filtering in our automation to pare down results from various REST calls. However, it seems that while filtering on things like category_name or category_value work just fine with an ==, they don’t seem to work with an !=. Is there a way to do an inequality filter, specifically with v3 of the Prism Central API?

Nutanix Hyper-Converged Infrastructure brings together the power of compute, storage and networking in just one node.   There might be situation where you’ll get queries in regard to mixing different components in NX- Hardware   For example   Are there any NIC restrictions?   Are there any Storage restrictions?   Can I have a hybrid SSD/HDD node and all-SSD node in the same cluster?   Are there any restrictions related to the DIMM

Hi Does anywhere can be find the ESXi version and AOS version interoperaability or compatibility? I found that in the foundation iso_whitelist file, there is some ESXi version has min_nos requirements. but differnet OEM partner has different requiremnts. But from VMware compability web site. ESXi is compatibility with most of the AOS version as the link. For example: ESXi 6.5 U3 --Dell has no min_nos requirements --Lenovo min_nos is 5.10.6 --Fujitsu has no min_nos requirements --HPE min_nos is 5.10.7 So if it is old enviroment, Does the ESXi version must meet the AOS version requirement in the whitelist?

Secure Boot is specifically designed to prevent a malicious boot loader attack and has been the most widely accepted approach for both Windows and Linux. Secure Boot is supported by major hardware and hypervisor vendors.    Windows introduced a new specification called Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) that connects the computer’s firmware to its operating system (OS). UEFI is now part of an open-source forum UEFI and is expected to eventually replace BIOS.   In order for Nutanix to fully support secure boot, Nutanix binaries are now signed with keys that the hardware trusts.   The Nutanix public keys will either be available by default in the hardware or a customer would need to manually obtain Nu
