Deployment Success

We just got our first 3 node Nutanix cluster (using AHV)  a couple months ago so we’re very new. I have been unable to use the Nutanix Portal setting within LCM to perform updates so I used the Dark Site option. Plus I have warnings about LDAPS but I am unable to use that setting. Both issue I think are cert related. I replaced the self signed certs in Prism Element & Prism Central following a couple Nutanix KB’s.Do I also need to replace certs on the individual CVM’s? The Nutanix documents & KB’s don’t explicitly mention anything about certs on the CVM’s but at the same time there have been a couple documents that say not to put certs on the CVM’s because future updates could remove them. 

HI Team, Recently I have installed Nutanix CE on Dell Power Edge R430. I am facing issue while trying to create network configs for creation of VMs. My lab network is shown below,I have interfaces from eth0 - eth7. eth4 is connected to Network 10.146.20.0/24, I would like to configure the same in Nutanix, so that the VMs that I create fall under the same subnet. I tried creating subnet and booted an Linux instance to check the reachability. I am unable to reach GW from that linux.  I reached out to my lab team, and they suggested to have eth4 alone in a bond. To do that, I tried to assign eth4 to vs0 alone but unable to do it. Could you please let me know what are the series of steps that need to be followed so that I could successfully create VMs.  Thanks,

Hello,What is the best practice to migrate a VM with 60 TB using RDM from esxi to AHV? Is it possible to map the RDM to Nutanix Cluster or to convert the RDM?

I want to reserver as mentioned below for a Linux VM running on AHV 10 and AOS 7.3. CPU: 4 vCPUs with a 10,000 MHz reservation Memory: 10 GB with a 10 GB reservation Disk: 1 x 110 GB with thick provisioning If these reservations exist, how can they be configured? I couldn’t find any information in PE/PC. It also seems that this feature was available up to AOS 6.8 but not in AOS 7.x versions.Let me know if there are any workarounds as well.

HI Team,I am considering Nutanix for my use-case. I have Dell PowerEdge R640 bare metal chassis with 2 NIC's BRCM 2P 1G BT + 2P 10G BT rNDC & Mellanox Network Adapter. I am trying to deploy Nutanix Community Edition but facing some issues. I do have 2 physical disks but looks like I need 3 physical disks to deploy Nutanix CE. (https://next.nutanix.com/installation-configuration-23/3-drives-needed-for-nutanix-installation-43436) 1) Does NIC mentioned above is good enough to proceed with CE deployment or does the chassis requires Intel NICs only?  During bootup I am seeing below issue, Please let me know what is the root cause of this and how to resolve it?   Though bootup process failed, I can still able to see Hypervisor selection along with Disks selection, Is that expected? I do have 2 HDDs attached to bare metal, But why do I see only 1 disk during Hypervisor selection? Do I really require 3 physical disks or does partition is allowed to achieve my agenda? What kinds of disks ar

HeyI have a 4 node lab with some version. I want to upgrade to the latest version (7.3 right now). my hardware support it. But, instead upgrading, I want clean install (for my reasons).When I using foundation, it won’t discovering my nodes (since they are used).What should I do to make them to be discovered? Thanks.

I have old hardware that is no longer used for production and the server can only be turned back on after we repair it. Currently, I will use this hardware as a development server or backup server, but when I check the compatibility for NX Gen 3, it is no longer there. How can I find a version that is suitable for my Gen 3 server?

Hi All,When I try to run a playbook using the IP address PowerShell action, I get this error. I've already checked that the PC is reaching the WinRM ports and that CredSSP is enabled. Does anyone have any ideas? This is the error: Failed to execute action with error: Internal Error, neither credssp nor NTLM auth types are supported by the target machine     Execution Start Time: 06/25/25, 08:31:07 PM    Execution End Time: 06/25/25, 08:31:07 PM    Result: FAILED InputUsername: user@domainPassword: ********Path to Script:  thanks in advance.

I have to replace a 3 nodes G5 Nutanix cluster running with vSphere 7 Essentials Plus Edition (limited by design at 3 nodes only) by 3 new nodes.My first idea was to expand existing cluster with new nodes then removed old nodes one by one.But like the vSphere Essential Plus edition is limited to 3 ESXi hosts only i can not add prepared new nodes to my vCenter.🙄 What is the best method in my case to migrate to the new 3 nodes ? Thanks for your advises.Nicolas

In Nutanix Prism Central, Is there any top-level REST API that lists all supported API versions? like v2, 43, v4.0 etc.?In platforms like Pure Storage, etc., there's a REST API endpoint (e.g., GET /api/api_version) that returns a list of all supported API versions. It is useful for automation by dynamically retrieving supported REST API versions.Is there any such REST API endpoint in Nutanix?

Always failed when extracting home.qcow2 to img around 55 mins. This only happen on 3 nodes cluster. Anyone solved this problem?

 I am using Nutanix Move version 5.5.3 to migrate a Rocky Linux 8.8 VM running on ESXi to AOS 7.0. Although I have entered the correct guest OS username and password, the migration fails at the "Prepare Source VM" step without showing any specific error code—just a message like:“Could not authenticate to guest. Error: ServerFaultCode: Failed to authenticate with the guest operating system using the supplied credentials..”To troubleshoot, I verified the credentials, ensured VMware Tools is installed and running, and also tried with a Rocky Linux 8.10 VM, but the exact same issue occurred.Could you please advise what else I should check or configure?

We have 5 DX360 Gen11 nodes, one of which shows the following symptoms:It starts loading the Foundation image without any problems When the image loading process is complete, it does not restart and shuts down the server. The node is powered on, we repeat the image loading process, and the node shuts down again.

Hey.Looking at the new API v4, I want to get list of all VMs and take all of the exposed IP, but I notice there is no fields for IPv6.  Is there some planning to support IPv6?

Hello, I Keep getting this error. I've tried downloading the ISO multiple times and used different USB sticks with various boot Tools like USB Key, Ventoy, and Rufus. Any tips?

Hi,Is there an API or command line for both configuring the Move applaince (eg environments) and the migrations themselves?Doesn’t seem to be anything obvious other than the “move deployer” which is only the initial VM deployment. ThanksRay

We recently acquired four new Lenovo HX630 V3 CN servers to deploy the latest Nutanix AHV and AOS. Our plan is to set these up on four AHVs and the latest Prism Central. According to the compatibility matrix, this configuration should be supported.I downloaded the latest AHV (AHV-DVD-x86_64-10.0.1-219) from the Nutanix portal and created a bootable USB. However, I encountered an error when attempting to boot into the Nutanix installation process.I understand that I need to use Foundation, but my servers are new and don’t have DiscoveryOS or something similar that would allow me to discover them with Foundation tools. Could you please advise on how to resolve this issue?

HiI am planning to migrate our monitoring system from API v3 to API v4. For the next 1.5 years, until API v3 is deprecated, it will be necessary to support both APIs.Based on my understanding, API v4 is supported from AOS version 6.8 and above. Our infrastructure includes a variety of PCs with different AOS versions, some of which are new (v7.0) and others that are older (v6.5) but still in use. Consequently, we need to continue utilizing API v3 for the older versions.To ensure seamless operation, I intend to implement backward compatibility to maintain both APIs until all PCs are updated, which is not expected to occur in the near future.Initially, I considered checking the AOS version or the supported API versions to determine the appropriate API version to use. Is there a general API call (not specific to any version) that can retrieve the AOS version? Please note that I do not utilize the official SDK and have developed my own implementation tailored to our specific requirements.Cu

Hi Team, im trying to get the vm details using rest api 3 version,  by using the following payloadcurl -X 'POST'  -uxxx:xx   'https://onwer.com:9440/api/nutanix/v3/vms/list'   -H 'accept: application/json'   -H 'Content-Type: application/json'   -H 'X-Nutanix-Client-Type: ui'   -d '{  "kind": "vm",  "sort_attribute": "string",  "length": 2000,  "sort_order": "ASCENDING",  "offset": 0}'Here, if you see the 2000 length I have specified, but it's giving 1000 values only. Is there any other limit we need to increase ?For the same rest api Also, I'm getting “RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded” in the REST API explorer. Any suggestions for this ?

Is there a way to receive a token that can the be sent to the launch console page. something like `https://{domain}/console/lib/noVNC-new/vnc.html?path=vnc/vm/{token}`That will let me bypass the login page of Prism console and allow me to open the console for a virtual machine directly ? 

Currently I building the following versions: AHV ver,10.0.1  AOS ver,7.0.1DNS is configured on the CVM but it seems that the DNS settings are not synced on the AHV.I confirmed that the DNS settings were entered from Prism Element as well.Re-entering the DNS values ​​did not fix the issue.If anyone knows the solution, please tell me 

Hi Nutanix-Community, trying to create a Nutanix CE cluster with 4 nodes out of our old hardware.
