Installation & Configuration

I completed a CE 2.0 install, I can access AHV and CVM from console, but not from the outside network. Do I need to modify iptables or do something specific with the bridge or vswitch? This is a single cluster on an hp dl380 gen9, I am only using 1 nic and my node is on vlan 20 with IPs 10.1.20.20 and 10.1.20.21 for AHV and CVM in my test lab. I have not set vlans on ahv or cvm. If i plug my laptop into vlan 20, I can’t ping or ssh to ahv or cvm. Any help would be appreciated.

I have been working with an HP DL380 Gen9 and have been having issues. I can complete the initial install of CE 2.0 from a USB image, but on the next boot I get the grub rescue screen.I have set the Smart Array to HBA, I have tried all manor of HDD/SSD options and have simplified the install with 2 Crucial MX500 1 TB SSD’s. I have even bypassed the p440ar card and SAS extender and plugged into the SATA connectors on board. I am installing to a 32GB SD Card. I have tried USB 3.0 device installs and changing brands of SD Cards and USB sticks both for install media and boot devices. I have reset the configuration on the machine multiple times. I have set boot mode to legacy BIOS and have unchecked single cluster install. All drives are visible in the installer. There are no timeouts our errors during the install.If I attempt to repair and ls (hd0,mdos1)/boot or any sub directories I get an attempt to read or write outside of partition error. (hd0,msdos1) is the only parti

Hi TeamI am trying to deploy a VM in my Nutanix cluster. I am invoking this API https://{PRISM_CENTRAL_IP}:9440/api/nutanix/v3/vms from my powershell script with the desired body. I am using a vmdk image for creating VM and my requirement is that once the VM will turned on it should start my application. In order to start the application I need some user provided custom data.While creating the VM I am passing custom data as part of guest_customization section of the payload.  I want to access this information inside the VM while start up.Please let me know how I can read the user provided custom data inside the VM. If I am passing the custom data in a wrong place, then let me know how to pass the custom data while creating VM.I am curious to know if any solution is provided by Nutanix similar to AWS/GCP where we were invoking

I am using Foundations for Windows, cabled directly into switch, deploying to new Dell R630s bare metal, same subnet. I go through the wizard fine, IPMI credentials are verified, iDRAC works fine, IMPI over LAN enabled. The install fails with the above Exception. I can post more logs if desired.I have:- turned off Windows Firewall- updated host firmware- ran the Foundations program as an Administrator in Windows- verified physical connectivityThe complete error message is:Exception: Imaging <bmc_utils._remote_boot_idrac.RemoteBootIdrac8 object at 0x000001C3A99CDFA0> requires USERSPACE_NFS feature, try run foundation with root/administrator.Google did not turn up anything with this. Any suggestions?

Hi Nutanix Peeps, I am new in HCI technology and would like to seek your insights on how to configure native VLAN in the Nutanix Environment. The plan was to remove the default VLAN (Data Traffic) to all Cisco access switches therefore removing it will also require to configure new native VLAN in the trunk link between the switches and Nutanix Hosts. Any help would be pretty much appreciated. Thank you so much!

The system ran the installation but when the reboot started to finish setup it required a username and password but nothing seems to be working. Any help to resolve this would be helpful. 

Hi TeamI am trying to automate the VM creation through Powershell Cmdlets. I can see there are two different version of Powershell Cmdlets are present https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=PS-Cmdlets-AOS-v6_6:ps-ps-cmdlets-c.htmlFrom the document, I observed that Powershell 2.0.1 supports execution of these cmdlets from Ubuntu and Mac along with Windows which is not the case in first version. The first version is only works from a Windows machine. But there is a significant difference between the Powershell Cmdlets present in V1 and V2.Can you please let me know do we have any limitation wrt Cmdlets if we use V2 or we can do all the operations that can be done by V1? If V2 have certain limitation then do we need to use the SDK or API in order to automate the task? 

HI TeamI have installed the necessary softwares to execute Nutanix Powershell Cmdlets from my MAC. But while executing Connect-PrismCentral cmdlets it’s throwing the below error.

Hi,Title was of course 2402/2430, not 2404/2430 🙃Having an issue in my home lab… The issue at handI had Nutanix CE2 running on this machine for more than a month. However, due to odd crashes and false positives with disconnect issues on the vs0 configuration (I guess), I figured I would attempt a complete reinstall, having used DP to backup all VMs to another Nutanix CE2 setup. I believe I made a configuration error at some point.However, re-installing with all the exact same devices and settings, I’m faced with this:InstallerVM timeout occurred, current retry 0Please take a look at installer_vm_*.log inside foundation logs to debug hypervisor installation issuesAfter which it will restart the process.I’ve found somewhere near 2 other examples of this,

Hi - We have a requirement to install CE on an HPE DX380a Gen11 server. We have downloaded the phoenix-ce2.0-fraser-6.5.2-stable-fnd-5.3.4-x86_64 iso and connected this the the virtual CD drive on the HP server and done a one time boot from CD.The CE installer starts to run but then always errors at the following screen:- We have tried disabling max power mode changing to OS Control and downloaded the ISO a couple of times also. The server has 4 drives which looks to be a CE limit so hopefully we are ok with that. This is the first time we have tried to install CE but now not sure what else to try to get this installedAny help gratefully receivedThanksGuy Bannister

@Team, One of the Nutanix clients want to deploy K8’s in their On-prem Infrastructure. Kindly share the roadmap for learning K8 and provide an answer these questions. Really appreciate for your efforts in advance. 1.What are the pre-requisites to create a K8 cluster on 5 nodes on-Prem cluster?2.How to deploy the K8 cluster?3.How to manage?​​​​​​​4.Is separate license subscription required for K8?  

this is my first test install with single node cluster, I cannot access web apge, I am getting below error. I am using Chrome version 126.0.6478.62 to browse to web site.172.21.192.61 normally uses encryption to protect your information. When Chrome tried to connect to 172.21.192.61 this time, the website sent back unusual and incorrect credentials. This may happen when an attacker is trying to pretend to be 172.21.192.61, or a Wi-Fi sign-in screen has interrupted the connection. Your information is still secure because Chrome stopped the connection before any data was exchanged.You cannot visit 172.21.192.61 right now because the website sent scrambled credentials that Chrome cannot process. Network errors and attacks are usually temporary, so this page will probably work later.

Are there any way to create and maintain storage (files, volumes, and objects) declaratively in Nutanix Prism Element?Nutanix has a Terraform provider for Prism Central but it does not cover Prism Element.

Hi,I recently created a new Nutanix CE, single node cluster to play around with.Installation went fine, no issues As per the Nutanix recomendation, post install, I ran Inventory (Updated LCM), then perfomed updates to NCC, Foundation and AOS, individually. AOS went from 6.5.2 to 6.5.5.7 on the LTS Path via automated LCM updates. I then Direct Uploaded the LCM Image for AOS 6.7.1.8 STS (lcm_nos_6.7.1.8.tar.gz) which successfully upgraded to 6.7.1.8 STS. After running an Inventory, so LCM could find the latest supported version of AHV, the time came for the AHV Upgrade. Everything seemed to be going ok, until the reboot (after the AHV upgrade in progress screen). Logging back on to the CVM and looking at the LCM page, I get the following error related to the AHV upgrade. “Operation Failed. Reason: LCM failed performing action ahv_reimage_success_check in phase PostActions on ip address 19

Hello, I'm trying to install Nutanix CE on my workstation but when loading the iso, the installation doesn't proceed and it gets stuck saying "screen is terminating" This is the configuration I am using 

Hi all, greetings from me🙋🏻We scheduling to upgrade the AHV and AOS to the latest version, but i have some questions as below :1. could direct upload (dark site) method upgrade the bundle files at the same time or it should perform one by one bundle files upgrade, in this case is AHV and AOS bundle files ?2. if we upgrade it sequentially, what happen after one of the software is upgraded ? will it trigger an alert ? because what i know is the AHV and AOS version need to be same (compatible). regardless, after that we will still upgrade the version to a compatible version.i already read this documents, In the document, it is not explained that we can upgrade AOS and AHV at the same time using direct upload method; it only explains each component separately

J’ai installé Nutanix CE sur mon serveur, l’installation s’est bien déroulé. je suis sur la page Prism via mon navigateur web. Ne pouvant pas connecter mon serveur à internet, est-il possible de se connecter à son NEXT Credenriais. Ou y-a-il une autre interface qui me permettrait d’utiliser l’outil sans connecter mon équipement à internet ? Réseau local
