Is NCI-VDI licensed\available in the latest Community Edition of Nutanix? I’d like to get more familiar with the VDI solution, so I’m hoping I can install it in my lab as part of your latest Community Edition. Thanks

Unleash the power of Citrix on Nutanix Community Edition – Part 2

Thanksgiving weekend in the US, so what's better than Turkey and Technology? Here's part 2 of the Citrix Community series about building a multi-node, multi-cluster homelab based on the Nutanix Community Edition. In this article I show some of the post installation configurations and explain why I think they make sense. https://lnkd.in/dX8rRqYQ

Unleash the power of Citrix on Nutanix Community Edition – Part 1

A while ago, I started a post about building a multi-node, multi-cluster homelab based on the Nutanix Community Edition. Summer came and went, health stuff with Jayden, our son, came and went (mostly). Good things take time, so here is the first in a series of articles about deploying Citrix and Nutanix technologies to build the ultimate home lab. https://community.citrix.com/citrix-community-articles/nutanix-community-edition-quick-start-guide-part-1

Compatibility with Nvidia Grid Release after 13.x?

Hey! Since the support for Nvidia Grid Release Branch 13.x ended in August ‘24 (NVIDIA Virtual GPU (vGPU) Software - NVIDIA Docs), we are curious about updating to a newer release branch. We are using pooled VDI machines mit vGPU Tesla T4 in our Nutanix environment so live-migration is a key feature. As live migration isn’t available in “newer” release branches by now i think we are stuck on this ‘unsupported-like’ constellation, aren’t we? Is there somebody else in this situation? Kind regards, Jannik

Nutanix recommends that you upgrade to version 2.7.7.0 as soon as possible?

From https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=NTNX-AHV-Plugin-Citrix:NTNX-AHV-Plugin-Citrix I don’t know that it’s a recent change in verbiage, however the last two Nutanix AHV Plugin for Citrix release notes have mentioned to upgrade “as soon as possible”… There’s no KBs relating to known scenarios that are resolved by upgrading to this version. I’m going to go out on a limb and ask if anyone knows if 2.7.7.0 of Nutanix AHV Plugin for Citrix impacts all AOS versions? There’s plenty of cloud-only phenomena that don’t impact on-prem “hybrid” clusters. Be nice to have some background other than “do it” before scheduling an outage for my CVAD services to upgrade a plugin.

Nutanix Frame VDI integrated with Azure AD

We have a Nutanix Frame POC in progress and we would want users to login to their VDI session using the Azure AD account (the machine would be joined to AzureAD / Entra). Is this possible / supported with Nutanix Frame ? Right now we have integrated okta in the Nutanix Frame portal, however the user still logs in using the “frame” user inside the VM So if it’s possible, how? Is there documentation available on how to achieve this ? If not supported, why not ? Thank you

Nutanix VDI user Licenses

Hi, we currently have a 3-node cluster licensed with 50 VDI user-based licenses. We are planning to add another node to the same cluster and would like to know if we can do this without purchasing any VDI user-based licenses. VDI user license is based on maximum concurrent users, and we don't need more than 50 user licenses at the moment.

Instant Clones and LCM

Hi, We’ll be shortly moving to Horizon Instant Clones running on our ESXi v7 U3c Nutanix cluster. I’ve been reading about the Parent VMs which Instant Clones put on each host and I’m a little concerned about how LCM will work in the future for performing tasks where it takes hosts in and out of maintenance mode in turn. There’s an old thread here that suggests doing only one host at a time and manually getting it to remove the parent VMs but I was wondering if that was still necessary. I did ask Support and they said “I have reviewed some information and as far I understand this shouldn’t be an issue on newer Horizon releases” but they sounded not entirely certain and gave a caveat about whatever VMware might say... VMware documentation refers to newer Horizon versions being generally OK but that host updating via VUM is an issue and even suggests disabling Parent VMs entirely if that is used. Is LCM similarly affected? What are other Instant Clone Nutanix admins doing nowadays? Thanks

Powershell VM HHD expansion

I’m trying to create a PowerShell script that I can use to expand the hhd size of an existing VM. The goal is when we get a ticket in for a user to just run the script, expand the hhd and update the disk size in windows. I’ve got most of the details figure out, I’m just not finding much on expanding a HHD size.

Problems Capturing Image via MDT

Hello Everyone, I am trying to use a task sequence I made through MDT to capture a windows 10 image of one of my Nutanix VMs. I am using version 5.6.2 (I know, we are behind the times here). Everything goes fine until I reboot into WinPE after the SysPrep and I get the error that my deployment share can’t be found because my virtual NIC has no driver. I had this same error when initially PXE booting to install windows. I fixed it by injecting drivers directly into the LiteTouch wim, and mounting guest tools. I have the guest tools still mounted, but the error keeps popping up. Any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated. I’m ripping out my hair here!

Citrix Sessions not changing to disconnected state after upgrade to 5.15.6

Hi there guys! We’ve recently upgraded our cluster from 5.15.3 to 5.15.6 because of a bug with Acropolis Sevice. After the upgrade, we are running into a weird issue with our Citrix Environment. Right now we are using CVAD 7.15 CU2 and AOS 5.15.6 with Windows 7 MCS pool of 1000 VMs with UPM When a user disconnects from a session (hitting disconnect or the red X sqare button) director shows the session Active instead of Disconnected and the curious thing is that it reports to be a Console session After playing around upgrading a test platform to 1912 CU3 and VirtIO drivers to the latest version, we’ve found the same issue. Also repeated the tests with Nutanix CE version 20190916 with the same results. At this point we ran out of ideas an decided to create an ESX cluster in lab, and guess what? it works fine. Disconnected sessions are showing up as they should. We suspect that can be related to AHV because of the test. Also we have a case opened with Nutanix and afterwards we will open a

Frame - Computer GPO Applying but Not Taking Effect on Instances

Dear All, We are using Frame with an on-pre AHV cluster. We have set up an account with domain-joined non-persistent instances. The sandbox is located in the same AD OU as the instances. Hence, it has the same GPOs applying. Our GPOs are not WMI filtered and do have standard security applied. GPOs are all enabled. The issue that we are seeing with GPO is the following. The settings in the GPO that is scoped to the computer objects are confirmed to be applying to the sandbox. also, on the sandbox, the settings seem to take effect as expected, e.g., when configured accordingly, News and Interests vanishes from the taskbar after a reboot. However, when I publish the sandbox and log on to one of the generated instances, the experience is different. I can still see that the registry setting that is corresponding to a specific GPO setting is present. GPRESULT also shows that the GPO is applying. However, the effect in the GUI is just not there. That is, News and Interests is still present on

Some VMs stay powered off after Citrix scheduled Reboots

We have the issue since Sunday that only some of the VMs power on after a scheduled Reboot via Citrix Studio (CVAD 1912 CU2). Of 9 Citrix VDA VMs only around 2-4 are starting each morning after receiving the power off and power on command via Citrix Studio for scheduled reboots. When this issue happens the following event is showing on the Citrix Delivery Controller: The description for Event ID 0 from source Nutanix VSS Software Provider cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.The following information was included with the event: Service started/resumed Before and after this event other VMs can start without issue.

Nutanix Frame - remote app onboarding/deployment automation

Hi, there is a need to periodically install/update new release of the application to the Frame Sandbox. Currently it is done manually. I was not able to find a way to perform app upload and onboarding/publishing remotely (via REST API). I mean the app, which does not yet exist on Sandbox. Is there any way to workaround this, so that every app release could be automatically deployed to Frame account using CI/CD pipeline (e.g. Jenkins + python script)? Any idea is appreciated.
