3000 vs 8000 Series

Hello, What are the pros and cons of these two series? What workloads are better suited to which series? Why would you choose an 8k block over a 3k block and conversely? Thanks

I'm building a report. In this report it should have next snapshot time for protection domain (Easy enough). [b][i]But also last snapshot created time (haven't found it yet)[/i][/b]. Anyone will ing to assist? I'll show the two object types i'm building already in the script. Basically PD's and Cron schedules.

Trying to produce Projects and Roles report

So I can use prism central to go into each project and get the access control list, which is group and role. I am unable to decipher the API to produce a comprehensive list of Projects with the associated Group with Role. Does anyone know the link between these sets of data? I can get individual lists. The Access_Control_Policy does not have the correct information. I have a particular role that does not show up in a dump of the acp list or details. I've looked by uuid and name. Thanks, Bill

How to Run Execuatble Script from Desktop

Hi. I am fairly new to scripting especially with Nutanix. I can do Powershell scripting just fine but making the conversion to shell scripts has my brain in a knot. I have some acli commands to create a new vm, create a new Disk and a new NIC but I was unsure how to run them as an executable from my Windows desktop. Our cluster is Nutanix AHV. So I run this from a command line to open putty and connect. It works fine without the script. putty.exe -ssh admin@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -pw ****** -m "C:\newVM.sh" The script is: acli; #creates a clone of Server2016 #vm.clone aTest clone_from_vm="Server2016RefImage" memory=8G num_cores_per_vcpu=2 num_vcpus=2; #creates a D drive # vm.disk_create aTest bus=scsi create_size=200G index=1 container="Container-1"; #Add a NIC #vm.nic_create aTest connected=true network="Vlan6"; Each line will run fine if I run it in putty but I am not sure if I am stringing the commands together correctly. If I try to execute the script it opens the putty session the

Nutanix Calm APIs

We are happy to finally say the Nutanix Calm API is live! This includes the release of the Nutanix Calm API documentation on [url=https://nutanix.dev/]Nutanix.dev[/url], our Developer Portal. The possibilities that are now available along with this announcement are huge for us. It means we can do things like the following in code: [list] [*]Integrate the control of Calm blueprints into external scripts or applications [*]Use conditionals to control when a blueprint gets launched [*]Use conditionals to control which blueprint gets launched [*]Run applications actions on demand by calling the appropriate API [/list] It’s also true that, while APIs as an overall “thing” are definitely nothing new, the ability to automate the automation platform is a critical step in controlling infrastructure. Check out the blog :point_right: [url=https://www.nutanix.dev/2019/09/06/automate-everything-nutanix-calm-api-docs-are-live/]Automate Everything: Nutanix Calm API Docs Are Live![/url] to learn mor

How to list virtual server name that belongs to only to certain project?

How to list Prism Central servers that belongs only to certain project. For example list only those Vm's that belongs to project "default". "Powerstate" expression name is "powerstate" but what is corresponding name of "project" which I should use to call "project" name? This script is showing vmname and powerstate (runned against Prism Central): Get-NTNXVM | Select @{Expression={$_.vmname};Label=”VMName”},@{Expression={$_.[b]powerstate[/b]};Label=”PowerState”}

How to get VM to Storage Container relation using REST APIs?

Dear Friends, I am trying to find out VMs to Storage Container relations using Nutanix REST APIs but not able to get. I have tried both V2.0 and V3 APIs. In 'vms/list' v3 API, we do get "disk_list" for each VM but I do not see these vDisks in 'vdisk' or virtual_disks APIs (v2). Also there is no reference to Storage_Containers in 'vms/list' output so it is difficult for me to find the correlation. Please help.

Attempting to upload AOS binary/json always results in "Server Error"

Hi all, We are attempting to update our AOS offline (all of our clusters do not have internet access) and we have tried uploading via IE, FF and Chrome to no avail. IE "uploads forever" and Chrome and Firefox say "Server Error" everytime. We are way past due for an AOS update (5.1.0.3) and we are trying to get this done! I have a few other side questions as well -- Is the AOS upgrade process non-disruptive? [list] [*]I saw the KB about updating the AOS and it says the CVMs will reboot, but other than that it should be seamless, correct? [/list] We need to update our hypervisor (ESXi 5.5 Patch 10) and need some input there as well if possible here, since we are on a Nutanix node config and posting here seems like the right place. If not, please let me know! [list] [*]We are running a NX-1065-G4 [*]ESXi 5.5 Patch 10 [*]vCenter 6.0 [*]AOS 5.1.0.3 [*]NCC 3.1.3 [*]Foundation 3.7.2 [*]BIOS 2141203 [*]BMC 01.92 [*]LCM 1.0.e1416e5 [*]HBA MPTFW-10.00.07.00-IT

Get Only AHV VMs

Using PowerShell and AOS 5.11 connecting to Prism Central of mixed hypervisor environment (VMware and AHV), is there a quick way to return just the AHV VM's? I see there are some search string, filter criteria, etc.. options for Get-NTNXVM Right now, there are 1600 VMs and the ones I am looking for are AHV. I can retrieve the whole list from Prism Central but I wondered if I could have it only send a filtered list. $VMList = Get-NTNXVM | Where { $_.acropolisVm -eq "True" } but that reads all 1600 VMs from Prism Central... Thanks!

CloudFoundry on Nutanix

Good day I have a requirement to POC CloudFoundry platform(cf push). I have tried project-eirini running on Karbon k8s cluster, it works, kind of, BUT it is still on alpha . So it can't use it on Production. I researched a bit further to see if PCF(Pivotal CloudFoundy) can be installed on Nutanix and found there is no support for vanilla PCF on Nutanix. And the journey led me to this > [url=https://github.com/nutanix/Cloud-Foundry-CPI-for-Nutanix-AHV]https://github.com/nutanix/Cloud-Foundry-CPI-for-Nutanix-AHV[/url] Creating a CPI for CF on Nutanix. I need to know if this is worthy before I can invest time implementing. Has anyone implemented it? Is it production ready? (seeing it is part of nutanix GH repo) Thanks in advanced
