Question on Nutanix foundation

Hi, I am still new to nutanix and i have a few question on the foundationI have 2 Dell XC740xd 12 servers and install with server 2019 Datacenter core as hypervisor.Both Server has a SVM in it. is SVM the same CVM? Isn’t CVM the Prism Central? If not Prism Central means i had to download, import and setup the VM for Prism central into the nodes? does each SVM has to be from different domain? Can i join both server SVM to the Same domain even though they can’t be setup as cluster in nutanix? Can i use failover cluster to join both nodes as cluster and reflect it on Nutanix Prism Element or Central? On Foundation number 2 Nodes the Nodes A, B, C, D, am i able to join it as cluster if i setup both node as A node?

Nutanix and Hyper V, Setup to managing

Hi I have setup the nutanix AOS 6.5.3.1 with Hyper V hypervisor server 2016 on 2 nodes with foundation.I have some question that I am still unable to figure out.I am able to console in the SVM in both nodes via SSH, but I am unable to access the Prism on Web Browser til I create the cluster in SVM. Is this correct?After accessing the Prism, most of the prism element function like VM, Storage and etc apart from health was available. Is this due to nutanix main role in Hyper V was limited as to only manage to see dashboard?I try to add the second node to the first node that has created the cluster in Prism, but was unable. Does it mean I can only do VM creation, modification, deletion etc and join cluster via the Server failover over cluster in Hyper V?Is there a guide for Nutanix with Hyper V from setup to managing, as I have read the AAPM which doesn’t seems to apply on this.

setting up a AHV cluster on 1G switches ( 3 node and 2 node )

Hello I am looking for guidance regarding setting up a 3-node and 2 node AHV cluster on 1G switches . Our workloads are low. The official response is to use a 10G switch fabric. If I opt for 2 node, can I connect the servers back to back for distributed storage ? Can data network go over 1G ? I plan to procure 2 servers with 2x 10G for distributed storage , 2x 1G NICs for data Thanks,Ajay

device ownership change and licensing

I have a situation where my production cluster is a lease with $1 buyout from a service provider who is license the cluster and the term is up this fall. We have AOS and Frame license as a service and provided by the them. In planning to take over ownership, I am needing to continue the license on this cluster and the Frame license. I am having a hard time finding instructions from any of the current Nutanix Sales team because the current hardware is still under the leasing contract and it seems like we cannot get a quote/plan to apply a new license on this cluster. We are always directed to purchase a new cluster with new licensing. We are force to look a new cluster so our team is now open to new technology outside Nutanix. The easy answer seems to elude. Does anyone have any direction contact or advise to try to get the inventory ownership transferred and get new license applied without effecting Frames on the AHV cluster? I cannot I have emails going back since last year try

PD WITH PRISM ELEMENT: VM size comparison before and after replication between two clusters

I configured domain protections between my primary and secondary site.domain protections are configured by VMs which means that I have as many domain protections as VMs.After the first replications, I would like to make sure that the size of my VM on the primary site is identical on the secondary site but I find that this is not the case.I don't know if I'm doing a good interpretation.Attached is the capture of my VM on the primary site before replication and on the secondary after replication.Please help me with your explanations.

NGT Compatibility for Rocky Linux

Is there an ETA for when NGT will add Rocky Linux support? This Reddit thread from August 2021 is the only reference I could find online suggesting that Rocky NGT support was being worked on. The NGT compatibility matrix lists Rocky as one of the OS vendors, but there are no approved OS yet. Alma Linux (the other RHEL clone project) is already listed in the compatibility matrix, so I assume the delay in adding Rocky is not a technical one. Here’s what happens if I try to install NGT on a Rocky VM:rootin nutanixngt/installer/linux via 🐍 v3.6.8 ➜ ./setup_python.sh -hPlatform type is: x86_64Unsupported distribution : rocky linuxERROR: Failed to install Nutanix Guest Tools.
