Which command can administrator can run to find the correct VLAN ID from the CVM?

  • manage-ovs
  • ovs-vscl

From the console of AHV: virsh dumpxml cvm_name

 

You can find the vlan between the <vlan> tags.

Thanks you @JeroenTielen, but what’s the correct between 

  • manage-ovs
  • ovs-vscl

Sorry but I don’t understand your question. 

 


@karanbhand - Here is some information for you:

 

To find the correct VLAN ID from the CVM (Controller Virtual Machine) in Nutanix, the administrator can use the following command:

acli host.list

This command will list the details of all the hosts in the cluster, including the network information, which will show the VLAN ID assigned to each host.
 

Alternatively, the administrator can use the following command to view the network configuration and VLAN ID associated with the CVM:

manage_ovs show_interfaces

This will display the interfaces along with their VLAN IDs and other relevant networking details.



Here is an older but relevant post:

Note:

  • Do not use ovs-vsctl commands to make the bridge level changes. Use the manage_ovs commands, instead.
  • The manage_ovs command allows you to update the cluster configuration. The changes are applied and retained across host restarts. The ovs-vsctl command allows you to update the live running host configuration but does not update the AOS cluster configuration and the changes are lost at host restart. This behavior of ovs-vsctl introduces connectivity issues during maintenance, such as upgrades or hardware replacements.
  • ovs-vsctl is typically used in cases where a host might be isolated on the network and requires a workaround to gain connectivity before the cluster configuration can actually be updated using manage_ovs.


 

 

 

 

 

 


Thank you @WillFulmer.

 

Can you please assist me on this one also?

 

An administrator notice that a VM is slow and unresponsive. The administrator want to compare performance to other VM on cluster.

Which chart type is best suited to display multiple performance metric for diagnosis. 

  • Dashboard
  • Entity Chart
  • Analysis Chart
  • Metric Chart

This is an exam question. We dont discus these kind of questions here. 


@JeroenTielen - Correct.

I recommend using the Nutanix University for training!
