I have a question about the new version NCC 4.X and AOS 5.20.X.When I upgraded the cluster from to AOS 5.20.2.1 from AOS 5.15. and NCC upgarde to 4.3.0.2. I found the the ping_hosts.INFO file in /home/nutanix/data/logs/sysstats has disappeared and I cannot check the latency between CVM every minute. There is only the ping_gateway.INFO file to check the latency between CVM and gateway. But there is also ncc alert that the inter_CVM_latency is high. So where can I check the detail latency information between CVM in the new verison?

I’m running Prism Central (PC) Scaleout version pc.2021.8.0.1 and when I select ‘Administration’. ‘LCM’ from the menu, I only get the following message;        Waiting for LCM Framework to start…Is LCM actually even a thing for PC?

Good day dearsI have 2 nutanix blocks, each 3 nodes , I have the following questions:I have vSphere license and I want to install it on the nodes, I only have prism element ( don`t have prism center) , should this work or I have to buy vCenter? While connecting the nodes to the same switch besides the firewall, should the switch be on access mode in order to Discover the nodes while using foundation, or I can segment the nodes through VLANS?

I want to Migrate AHV Cluster all VMs in to ESXi on Nutanix Cluster, can you please confirm which solution we used for further activity.

I get a firmware is not compatible with AHV version .The firmware version running on the nodes is Firmware revision :03.35 . When trying to install AOS on the nodes which I plan to add to my current cluster.Can i get a download  link for the compatible version of aos  with the firmware . The reason I ask this is that we are waiting for procurement to renew our support subscription which will take long and thus i cannot log a ticket . the nodes need to be re imaged.  I understand this is an older version of AHV .

I received this answer a few days ago[Just plug your VM on a VLAN where there is a router connected to the internet. Then either use DHCP if there is some, or configure an IP address and set your router as gateway. That’s it.]but Is there anyone who can explain in more detail?I am currently configuring guestvm with windows10The network settings are like this The port of the node where the GUEST VM is installed is directly connected to the Internet-enabled LANOr should I change the settings inside Windows vm? It is composed of dhcp

Hi everyonePlease help me with this case:1- I have two nutanix blocks, each 3 nodes, I have only one core switch and I want to manage and see all nodes in the same cluster, I don`t have prism center.2-I want to install ESXI on all the nodes, if the configuration goes right!, when I want to manage VMs (create, delete, .. i.e.,) should this be done through the prism or from the esxi?Appreciating any help from you guys.

Hello Everyone, I am woking on a Java project at the moment and feel that StringBuffer would help a lot in performing this particular task, where I am 'building' a string representation of a Matrix:/** * Returns a String representation of the Matrix using the getIJ getter * function. You should use MaF.dF to format the double numbers to a * sensible number of decimal places and place the numbers in columns. * * @return A String representation of the Matrix */public String toString() { //String stringBuilder = new String StringBuffer beep = new StringBuffer; for(i=0; i<m-1; i++){ for(j=0; j<n-1; j++){ } // You need to fill in this method}I've tried it in a Java program by itself and it seemed okay, but then I tried some sample Java program from online java compiler and it didn't compile. Is StringBuffer built into Java, or would it require importing a package? I am not allowed to import any packages for this project. Can anyone know, where am I wrong?

I have some clusters where LCM propose some upgrade to STS version, but I want to stick to LTS. is there a way to disable some version so LCM display only “Enabled version”.BTW, there is a filter for disabled updates, so I guess there might be a way to disable some updates.

Hi,New Nutanix user here so please forgive me my ignorance. I created a new VM in Prism Element and then (using this guide) used the Convert to Template function in Prism Central. So far so good. However, the converted VM still shows up under VMs in Element/Central. Can I now delete this VM? (We’re running just one cluster.) info:AHV version Nutanix 20201105.2267Prism central: pc.2022.4 Kind regards,Thomas

Please your support, I have two nutanix servers each is 3 node cluster, how I can connect them so they appear as a single cluster, should I connect them via a physical switch? Second question is I have vSphere license which I want to install on the clusters, how should I do that?

We are attempting to install the latest version of vmware tools across multiple clusters (12.0.0).  Currently it requires a restart of the host if upgrading to 12 via lifecycle man and a baseline.  However, if i do it manually via esxcli software vib update or install, it does not require an update.  When i try to push this out to one of our test clusters via a cvm and the command: hostssh ‘esxcli software vib update -d /vmfs/volumes/tehdatastore/Tools12/Tools12.zip’, it completes properly but times out and moves to the next host before the output stating it completed successfully etc, giving an error stating it timed out instead (to be clear, it does actually run against all the hosts properly).  Is there any way of adding a no timeout switch to the hostssh command (or perhaps just a larger timeout)?  Upgrade was verified using hostssh ‘esxcli software vib list | grep tools'.  Also within vcenter it now shows updates available to the vm’s etc.  So this does work, it just looks bad whe

After update windows 10 in place, i can’t delete the balloon.sys file of nutanix drivers inside windows old; i can rename but not delete.Any idea?
