How It works

Hi Team, Im trying to enable LACP on AHV cluster. Currently we have 1 cluster with 5 AHV nodes in it. I have enabled VDI pro license to the cluster. Now when i goto "network" from prism element, I do not see "uplink configuration" option at all. Please guide me what is the cause and work around. Also nutanix recommendation on lacp bond mode. can I set the bond mode to active-active ? 

HiWe are currently putting up a new environment with AHV and APC UPSs and thought that the ‘Nutanix Ready’ was suppose to cover all areas of the software from APC. Looking deeper it seems only vmware has the support to migrate VMs over a cluster if UPS power fails on one side. Does anyone know when APC plan on releasing a version that covers this also for Nutanix AHV?ThanksOscar

Using cURL to get ‘/Cluster’ endpoint (ex. below). How do I structure my call to return singleattribute, like ‘name’ , ‘uuid’  or version . API query outputs entire tree     https://<IP>:9440/PrismGateway/services/rest/v2.0/cluster/'        "id": "0005d918-7718-830d-60d0-ac1f6b3f9209::6976265073740190217",        "uuid": "0005d918-7718-830d-60d0-ac1f6b3f9209",        "cluster_incarnation_id": 1646073984090893,        "cluster_uuid": "0005d918-7718-830d-60d0-ac1f6b3f9209",         "name": "vaclevsh2100",         "version": "6.1"   2. Would like to query single attributes, something like:       https://<IP>:9440/PrismGateway/services/rest/v2.0/cluster?name'                                                    or       https://<IP>:9440/PrismGateway/services/rest/v2.0/cluster?id'

Currently we are working on a project that requires couple of Admins to SSH into a CVM to execute some commands.  The problem we are running into is that only the Nutanix\Admin default account can actually SSH  into CVMs. Other non-default admin accounts (Cluster Admin) can do everything in Prism but are denied access when they try to SSH. Do The non-default admins need additional permissions\configurations to be able to SSH into CVMs ?

Probably a silly question. Regarding Prism Element...When logging in and are greeted with the main page or when navigating to other pages, are there UI logs? 

Hey Guys,The above screenshot shows the end of support life for 6.1 shows Oct 2022 but if I check the yellow dot it says end of support life within 6 months. Can anyone clear this doubt on the end of support for 6.1? 

Hi All,Let’s say, in a Nutanix cluster with 3 nodes/hosts, when creating a new virtual machine(vm), in which node/host, a newly created VM will go, how it chooses the node to be there?Scenerio 1 : Assume in all the 3 nodes/host, there are required compute and storage resources are there.Scenerio 2 : Assume only two nodes/hosts has the required compute and storage resources are there?

In a organization one of the administrators received a email from nutanix support about a replacement of a memory, when he checked his cluster he didn´t see any  alerts because the cluster didn´t belong to him but to another of his colleagues. Which are the steps and what accounts do we need to change the owner of the case?

I struggle to find info on the topic in Nutanix docs,I try to understand how to handle pagination when performing REST API request via the v2 API to retrieve all hosts I have in the cluster.when I make the request I get the metadata section with the following data:"metadata": {    "grand_total_entities": ,    "total_entities": ,    "filter_criteria": "",    "sort_criteria": "",    "page": ,    "count": ,    "start_index": ,    "end_index":   }when i make a request i see that i can specify two fields that relate to pagination “page number”“count”its not clear how to handle pagination,if somebody have some code sample it will be great !

Hello, masters of NutanixCould you help a beginner in trouble? I took an internal snapshot to prepare for a problem moving nodes from an existing cluster to another cluster The previous one was done well, and the snapshot was about 1.8gb, but I found that even though I deleted the snapshot, I still had about 1tb of capacity leftI got a response that the curation will work and the capacity will be back in 36 hoursBut the capacity remains the sameWhich part should I check? I'd appreciate it if you could give me a command or a solutionThe customer is dissatisfied with the capacity of 1tb and wants to resolve it Help me, please. Customer is using AOS 5.20.3.5 / ESXI 7.0 u2a / NX-3060-G4  Pic1 - Capacity before increasing nodes Pic2 - Capacity after node is increased

I’m trying to understand the Acrpolis OS interaction with the other components, i know that Acrpolis OS is the data plan and Prism is the management plan. Also, AOS is installed as a CVM. But im still confused about Prism. So, is Prism part of AOS and run inside CVM, or it’s a separated component ?
