How does CVM handles data?

I have learned that Guest VMs transmit data to AHV and AHV reroute data to CVMs. Then, CVMs transmit data through PCIe passthrough (I haven’t got this point because CVMs still VM. so, it can’t bypass its hypervisor) to HBA hardware. After that, HBA transmits data to disks. But I want detailed data flow that explain hardware and software (like Curator, Medusa… etc) data flow from guest VM to the disks because it will be useful for troubleshooting and confidants while working with Nutanix Solution. Could anyone help me?

Performance issue and understanding the graph measurements used

Hi While troubleshooting a performance issue with some VMs on the cluster, we noticed that the cluster-wide latency, as shown in the Prism graph on the front page, was around 23ms on average. This is significantly higher than our usual 10-12ms. Upon further investigation by support, the issue was traced to two VMs with high I/O activity, writing large blocks of data (over 1MB in size). To troubleshoot, we added the following graphs for each VM: Storage controller bandwidth (MB/s) Storage controller latency (ms) I have a few questions: Why is the term “bandwidth” used instead of “throughput”? My understanding is that bandwidth refers to the capacity (size of the pipe), while throughput is the amount of data passing through it per second. If the average cluster latency is high, wouldn’t this impact other workloads? Does the term “storage controller” refer to the CVM?Thanks in advance

Nutanix cannot scale a GPU server with storage alone?

Hi,I am checking out Nutanix as a hypervisor. I understand however from our technical supplier that Nutanix will not be able to scale a GPU server using a storage server. Namely, I have a GPU server with some limited storage, which I would like to extend with a storage server(s). These would then be linked through a dedicated switch to the GPU server.He tells me that Nutanix is not good for that, and that we would have to go with VMWare. I understand that this has to do with hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI). However, I cannot imagine that Nutanix does not have a solution for such use-case. My question therefore is: can a GPU server be extended with a storage server using Nutanix?Thanks!
