NGT Upgrade messages - what do they mean

Good morning All   I have a bit of an NGT issue, the Prism Central alerts me to say some VMs need a NGT upgrade, when I go to upgrade them I see the message “NGT can only be upgraded on 0/1 VMs which have the available upgrade of NGT”   Review and confirm buttons are greyed out so I cannot continue - what does the message mean and what do I do to get it to work?   Many thanks   Eric

My Cluster can't use the newly added VLAN

HiI have 4 Nodes cluster with the detailed network belowVLAN1000 : IPMI Usage (192.168.255.x/24)VLAN20 : GuestVM & Internal Cluster Network (192.168.2.x/24)I was using eth3 and eth4 in bond br0-up in bridge br0 (vs0) And then i’m adding a new vlan (VLAN30 : 192.168.3.x/24) for separating GuestVM network from Internal ClusterI am using eth0 and eth1 in another bond (bond br1-up in bridge br1) connected to my switchport mode access VLAN30. The problem is, when i created VM using that network (vs1), my guest vm cant ping anywhere even the gateway of its subnet. But when i test my laptop that connected to the switchport mode access VLAN30, my laptop can ping the Gateway.Here i give the detail of my topology and uplinks configurationTopologyUplinks of each hostsvs1 configuration Perhaps someone can enlight me maybe i missed something here when i’m trying to configure this? Thank you.

Quick Restore in case of failed ESXi upgrade?

Hi!I am wondering, if there is a quick way to restore from a failed ESXi upgrade.Imaging you have fired up a ONE-Klick-Upgrade of the ESXi image, and (as see with ESXi7.0U1GA) the hypervisor is not boot up again.At ESXi level i can backup config and restore config after a plane install. But what about CVM?Setting up the whole node with foundation is a nightmare, if the node is already installed in an customer environment, and can’t be discovered.The best way would be, that the foundation within a cluster could deploy a CVM to a plain ESXi and rebuild the cluster-node from the information stored in the cluster...

shrink VM disk

HI Team under Prism we’ve created a few VM’s (windows), one of VM is our File Server, current configuration is IDE disk 1TB, (60GB OS, 900GB shared folders). probably is better to create one virtual disk 60GB on OS and the second virtual disk as storage (1TB) or more.question is how to shrink current IDE disk from 1TB → 60GB, and if IDE should be change on SCSI disk, what Nutanix recommended?instruction to shrink disk IDE->SCSIthanks Dariusz

How to create CG in a given PD (Metro)

Using the Nutanix CMDlets it turns out that out of the 7 protection domains in my cluster, one has only 1 Consistency Group assigned to it, which protects over 1200 files. (Almost 4000). How can I create a few CGs within a given PD so I don’t get the threshold alert in the future?

Dark site upgrade

Hello all,I am trying to do some updates in a dark site. I have configured the webserver and downloaded all the updates on the local server(like in the documentation). But from my understanding of the documentation, you need to do the following steps:Put the necessary files in the web server Replace the compatibility checks for the specific upgrade module Run inventory checks. Upgrade moduleI find it quite hard and time-consuming to do this for each component. Are there any better/faster ways to upgrade a dark site?For example, download all the upgrades and perform only one inventory check?

Disk selection when installing from ISO

Hi All,I have a HP GL380p G8 and I have 1x30GB SSD 1 x 400GB SSD 2 x 600 SASWhen i start the install it asks for the location to install the hypervisor, CVM and what are data disks.  Can I use the 30GB SSD for the hypervisor and the CVM. This will leave the 400GB SSD for performance tier and the 2 x 600GB for normal tier.

AHV Node failed during LCM

I recently used LCM to update the firmware on my 9 node cluster. One of the hosts did not come back up. I was able to get it to reboot back into the host OS, but it had no network connectivity. The interfaces were up, IP address assigned, just no traffic passing through the bridge. After fighting with it for some time, I decided to eject the node from the cluster and just re-foundation a new one. I initiated the removal process, but the node status remains in MARKED_FOR_REMOVAL_BUT_NOT_DETACHABLE:nutanix@NTNX-<REDACTED>-A-CVM:10.1.153.30:~$ ncli host ls id=21    Id                        : 0005adca-5f30-1bf1-0000-000000008d15::21    Uuid                      : 705089f7-2435-4a35-83fe-603470bd36d6    Name                      : 10.1.153.15    IPMI Address              : 10.1.151.249    Controller VM Address     : 10.1.153.34    Controller VM NAT Address :    Controller VM NAT PORT    :    Hypervisor Address        : 10.1.153.15    Host Status               : MARKED_FOR_REMOVAL_BUT

How to update network on windows guest running on AHV?

We have created a new vlan for windows 10 VM and I wanted to update existing network to new network. I was not able edit the existing network and choose the new one, it is grayed out. Do I need to delete and re-add new nic and choose the new network? For ESXi, you simply browse the network and select the one you want and save it.

NIC Firmware Upgrades in LCM

As the Nutanix Life Cycle Management (LCM) platform evolves, more firmware entities are added to the module. The latest addition are the NICs associated with Nutanix hardware.Starting in LCM 2.3.4, firmware updates for Mellanox and SuperMicro NICs on AHV and ESXi are supported. Currently, Hyper-V platforms and Intel/Silicom NIC cards are not supported.For more information about this feature and software requirements, take a look at KB 10073 found on the Support Portal.

Enabling NGT And Mounting The NGT Installer Simultaneously On Multiple Cloned VMs

If you have cloned multiple VMs from a single VM (master VM), you can enable NGT and mount the NGT installer simultaneously on multiple VMs by using the master VM image.Before you beginEnsure the following before you perform this task: Install NGT on the master VM. Clone the required number of VMs from the master VM. Shut down the cloned VMs. Perform the following procedure to enable NGT and mount the NGT installer simultaneously on multiple VMs by using the master VM image.Note: After you perform the following procedure, you do not need to separately install NGT on the cloned VMs.Procedure For every cloned VM, log on to the Controller VM and run the following command.ncli> ngt mount vm-id=clone_vm_id Replace clone_vm_id with the ID of the cloned VM. To find the ID of the cloned VM, run ncli> vm list name="<clone-vm-name>" command. Note the value of the Id field as clone_vm_id.<ncli> vm list name="<clone-vm-name>"Id                        : 00058a81-64bb-2

Revert cluster from RF3 to RF2?

I know that this question has been asked in this forum a few years back but I wanted to see if the answer changed since the newer releases of AOS.  In my case, I’m running AOS version 5.15.4 LTS and found that our 7-node cluster was configured for RF3 - although most of our containers are RF2 (the exceptions being the “NutanixManagementShare: and “SelfServiceContainer” containers).Since most of our containers are only RF2 I’m not too concerned about extra overhead but was curious if AOS now supports the switchback from RF3 on the cluster.
