Storage tiering for QLC SSDs

I am considering building a cluster that will use a mix of TLC and QLC NVMe SSDs. I assume that Nutanix will put all of these drives into the SSD-PCIe storage tier and every disk will be a member of the same tier. Since QLC SSDs have lower performance and lower write endurance than their TLC, MLC, and SLC counterparts, it would be advantageous to use storage tiering to encourage cold data to reside on the QLC media and hotter data to reside on the more performant drives. Is there a supported method for this in non-community edition clusters? It would be relatively straightforward to manually change the tier-name for the QLC drives to SSD-SATA, but is that a supported practice?

Cannot kill a async protection domain migration task running

Hey Nutants, Iam back with the complicated question once again, iam sure this is not straight forward question and not easy to resolve without support, however let me see if I can get any support from this panel. I have started a migration of a vms through a AsyncPD as my AOS version is 6.5.5.5 and cannot do a cross cluster vm migration to with out a PD, this PD has completed its replication 98% and got stuck for 24 hours now. I have attempted multiple times to abort the migration but with no success, please see the screenshot below. Note: I dont want to complete the migration anymore. Followed below links already. https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/kbs/details?targetId=kA0320000004H2XCAU https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/kbs/details?targetId=kA0600000008eOHCAY kindly dont tell me to contact Nutanix support as I dont have an active license. :) Thanks in advance.

Deploying VMs from a template using Terraform

Hello everyone, I am trying to deploy VMs from a template by using terraform ( nutanix_deploy_templates_v2 ). I have located the UUID of the template i want to use and terraform plan works with no issues. When I go to apply the changes it errors telling me the template is not located on that server. I have quadruple checked the addresses etc and even had it peer checked so we are happy with the code. Has anyone else experienced this or am I just being dumb? Any help would be appreciated - cheers

UEFI VM Boot Failure and Inaccessible BIOS on AHV

Issue: I can’t get UEFI to work with VMs at all. CE version of AHV on Dell 4 year old hardware - AHV and CVM operational and appear fine. VMs appear to be OK as long as it’s using legacy bios. I can’t get UEFI to boot, black screen of X/f2. I was going to attempt a workaround: Install using legacy and convert to UEFI but I can’t get into the VM bios? Tried F2, DEL, F12 … every F out there and it goes straight to windows. Does anyone have a recommendation? I can take screenshots if that helps

Node expantion with NVMe drives and newer AOS/AHV? What is the file to update the cluster to recognize the new hardware

Node expantion with NVMe drives and newer AOS/AHV on the new node? What is the file to update that updates the cluster to recognize the new hardware models. Bascially having to downgrade a factory G9 node on an older cluster. When you run foundation it doesn’t recognize the newer hardware and errors out.

will nutanix discard api v1,v2,v3?

We are using Nutanix Prism, both Central and Elements. I heard that Nutanix Prism 2024.03 will no longer support the v3 API. However, we are currently using Nutanix Element APIs (v1, v2, v3), with a few Central APIs, but most of our usage is with Element APIs. How are things going? Will Nutanix deprecate all "Element" APIs from v1 to v3? Also, how can we migrate from Central API v3 to v4? There are many APIs, and we don't have much time to analyze all the v4 APIs. Thank you.

Rubrik backup errors

Scheduled Rubrik Nutanix backups fail with an Internal server error similar to this link: Nutanix backup fail with "ENTITY_READ_ERROR" and "Reason: Internal error." Has anyone had success resolving this error? I was able to get a manual snapshot by changing the snapshot type from Automatic to Crash Consistent, then put the vm back into the SLA but it failed again with a different error: "Failed to get changed regions for snapshot_file_path" but one thing at a time for now in the Rubrik console and there are no issues on the CDM as a protected VM.

Nutanix CE Cluster and VMs

Hi, I’m new to Nutanix and I have many questions that I would appreciate getting answers to. It’s a very confusing topic for me and I looked for answers but either didn’t find or just got more confused. I apologize if the answers already exist on the forum. I’m helping a friend setup a 3 node cluster on Nutanix CE. Each node has 1TB 2.5” SSD for CVM, 1TB 2.5” for data and a 32GB/64GB USB drive for AHV. We were able to install CE on one of the nodes as a start, with some errors that didn’t seem to affect the installation and setup, like “Failed to start Systems Management Device Drivers. See ‘systemct1 status instsvcdrv.service’ for details”. We didn’t know what that meant or where to check, but the installation was ok. To create a 3 node cluster, do I have to setup CE on each node separately, assign IP addresses for the Host and CVM for each, and then run the command cluster -s cvm1_ip_addr,cvm2_ip_addr,... create ? If I create a single node cluster, can I add more nodes to the cluster

ova disk importing error

Hi All, I am using prism central to import an OVA. The OVA can be used to deploy VMs to EXSi server. When I imported that OVA, the disk import failed with the following message: Incorrect file uploaded. Disk conversion for OVA failed with err: Size of file scsi0.0 in OVA does not match size specified in OVF I check the OVF (inside the OVA), it specified the disk size as: Disk ovf:capacity="40" ovf:capacityAllocationUnits="byte * 2^30" I sshed to the ESXi server and look at the flat disk size: -rw------- 1 root root 40.0G Feb 11 13:40 gw-3-0-20250120-flat.vmdk -rw------- 1 root root 42949672960 Feb 11 13:39 gw-3-0-20250120-flat.vmdk They all looked correct. Are there more detail logs wrt the import, that i can see why import failed? like for example, what the import think the vmdk size should be? Thanks, SuperJames
