a simple LCM question

I'm new to Nutanix, and have a basic question pertaining to keeping drivers and firmware in the server up to date with LCM. We have Dell XC640 servers running VMware ESXi. Am I too assume the LCM is going to provide all the drivers and firmware required for the stack? Documentation states that Dell provides the payload, LCM installs it. I want to validate after updating the hosts with LCM if that's all that I need to do. Does this also update the VMware Ethernet driver? It seems to good to be true that LCM would actually do that as well. Looking for some guidance on this so that I have a solid game plan that I can document moving forward.

Running SSH commands on CVM via Ansible

Hello, Just wondering if there is anything special about running CVM commands via ansible or other non-interactive session tools? The ansible ping module works just fine but when I start using Nutanix specific commands i get errors telling me that "no such file exists." The commands i'm running are "cluster status" and "ncli rsyslog-config get-status" These obviously work in a regular interactive session but not with ansible. Am i missing a path variable declaration or something? Are the commands only available via interactive sessions(if that is even a thing)? Thanks Update: a coworker who is better at linux than I am said that the profile probably isn't loaded the same so I need to fully source all the commands. So right now I'm doing my best to find them and running them that way. So far so good. /home/nutanix/cluster/bin/cluster status

VM's uptime get reset in vCenter after migrating the VM when we put host into maintenance mode from CVM's Putty Session

Recently i have upgraded some Firmware for one of the cluster. Firmware upgrade has migrated all VMs to other host and put the host into maintenance mode. i was cross checking the behavior on vcenter and found in tune as per process but after migrating all VMs to other host it reset the uptime for all migrated VMs in vcenter logs/view. but when checked guest os uptime then it was older than vcenter info. (VMs were not rebooted). i am unable to understand that, is it a bug or do i have an issue with Nutanix cluster.

Nutanix AsyncDR supports OEM hardware?

As the title stated, does someone know whether I can run AsynDR on OEM hardware just as Dell, Lenovo... or not? I have a customer wanting to create a AsyncDR session to backup files from a Nutanix cluster to a Nutanix on Dell servers. Is there any limitation so far? Thanks.

script to update categories and projects

I have a bunch of VM (>300) converted from vmware, and I have to classify them with categories and projects. I tried in powershell with the rest API, but when I GET the VM characteristics and use ConvertTo-Json to build new json file, it does not "expand" embedded arrays like disk_list, nic_list... so cannot send the PUT request correctly Does someone have an example to set/update categories and project for a VM ?

Nutanix Storage capacity and resiliency(three questions)

I have three questions. Please answer. 1.For example, we are using three nodes. There's a resiliency warning for prism because of the high utilization of storage. Then there was a problem in use and one node failed. I wonder what happens in this case. What kind of error is caused? Can we keep the service? 2.What's the maximum storage utilization that Nutanix can continue with its services? 3.What happens when storage utilization is 100%?

ESX host to AHV

Hi all, I have a production ESX cluster and an AHV cluster (currently Dev but will be live soon) and I want to move a couple of hosts out of the ESX cluster and then expand the AHV cluster. I want to make sure I have the correct process and do not miss anything but couldn't find this specifically documented anywhere. Has anyone done this already? current plan is - - Cluster checks. - maintenance mode esx host to move all VMs off. - shutdown CVM and allow maintenance mode to complete. - remove VMhost from the prod vmware cluster in vSphere. - remove from Nutanix cluster using the option in Prism. - wait for Nutanix to remove the node. - Expand the AHV cluster adding the released ESX host. Any comments or advise would be welcome. Thanks.

SR-IOV & Nutanix

Hi, I am currently working with a customer who is looking into Nutanix and we are planning a POC. They have large VMWARE environment running 6.7. They have some applications that require SR-IOV. If we decide to go to Acropolis, is SR-IOV supported in Acropolis or is there a feature similar to that available natively on Nutanix? Many thanks.

Difference between AOS , Foundation and Hyervisor

Hello Experts, I am new to Nutanix world and in middle of acquiring basic knowledge. In Prism console under software upgrade, i can see that there are components like AOS , Foundation and Hypervisor. My understanding is that the Acropolis ( AOS ) software is installed in CVM and CVM is called as Foundation. Hypervisor is either AHV or Vmware or HyperV. Is my understanding is correct ? Please clarrify Thanks Sam.

Redundancy Factor 3 and Replication Factor 2

Hi Together, How does the nutanix cluster handle failures with following settings: [list] [*]Cluster Redundancy Factor -> 3 [*]Container Replication Factor -> 2 [/list] 1) How many disks or nodes can fail? 2) Does this settings make sense or should the Container RF always set to 3 when Cluster RF is 3? Thanks for clarification! Kind Regard Steve

Nutanix AHV failover during node failover

Dear All, Currently my Nutanix cluster consist of 3 Nutanix block, 5 node running on AHV 20170830.171 1 block of 3 NX-1065-G5 node 1 block of 1 NX6035-G5 1 block of 1 NX6035-G5 Recently, one of the NX6035-G5 is down due to hardware issue. Somehow, all the VMs hosted on this node not able to auto failover to the others node. Upon checking with Nutanix, we were informed that the failover failed as we don't have sufficient available memory. We were told that AHV will perform the failover for all the fail VMs to one particular node which have sufficient resources to accommodate it; like moving the whole load from the fail node to another node. Previously we are using VMware where it will failover VM by VM to all the available nodes. Anyone encounter similar issue with AHV?
