Installation & Configuration

Dear All,I’ve have a question about a licensing of the AOS (ROBO per per VM).Environment: vSphere7 (vCenter7 + 2-node ESXi clusters). Basically, fresh Nutanix cluster with HA feature enabled is hosting x4 “service” Virtual Machine:* x2 CVMs, x2 vCLS ( https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/80472 )As far I understand CVMs don’t need to be covered by the ROBO license, but what about a vCLS? How AOS is qualifies vCLS: as a service or a “standard” VM?Also, do I need ROBO license for the powered-off VMs?Regards,Dominik

Hi All,We’ve got a cluster which we have recently not renewed support/maintenance on as we are in the process of decommissioning it, however still have some workloads which are lagging behind being decommissioned.Noticed today that the license expiry is approaching (November 2021), what will happen once the license expires?CheersJason

Hello,I Hope finding some help here, I have a now freshly outdated 3 nodes NX-1065-G5 on AOS 6.5.2 LTS with Starter License, recently a SSD crashed on a node and CVM failed.My nutanix portal is now closed, and documentation access is restricted...Cluster is in production with now no resiliency,I manage to find a new accepted SSD and start the phoenix repair process to rebuild the CVM.CVM started now successfully, wrong management IP after phoenir repair, so I set it up in /etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-eth0 OK, now I can ping it, BUT CVM didn’t rejoin the cluster.What can I do to make my CVM fully operationnal and getting again resiliency ? Thanks you,A desesperate IT guy.    

Hi Team,can any one please guide me through, how upgrade Firmware for Esxi hosts and cautions to be take care.And what are all the aspects we can upgrade the firmware.Our Model Hosts : G5, where can I look for the compatible version to upgrade.

Dears:I saw AOS 6.7.1 is released right now with support ESXi 8.0. But only NX, HPE and DELL are now supported hardware platforms. When will Lenovo support this? Thanks!

This cluster is out of support.

Hi Team,Kindly let me know, how can I get nutanix installable USB drive for linux .

Hi Team,I am new to nutanix, please let me know how to install nutanix CE on ehl host

Is there a upgrade path for CE 2019.02.11 LTS to CE2.0? I understand I need the AOS, hypervisor, NCC and foundation files but I am looking to download them if possible. Thanks

I backed up the disk files of the virtual machine to a non NFS environment through SFTP, and now I want to upload the files to CVM through SFTP. However, the upload speed of SFTP is too slow. A regular virtual machine disk file has at least 200GB, and uploading takes several hours. I tried using multithreading to split files and upload them in parallel, but merging these small files after uploading still requires the same upload time. Then I tried to create a 200GB empty file, but it still took a few hours for SFTP. May I ask if there is any way to solve this problem

I just installed PC 2023.03 and want to use LCM dark site. But when I switch to lcm, always Loading. Any place need set?

Hi,I am trying to install the Community Edition at a Lab, but I am unable to go past the NEXT login in the initial setup. There is no option to login with my Company’s SSO.  

This one may be an obvious question, but its probably too obvious to the point that I am overthinking it.Model: NX-6035-G4I came into an environment where there are 5 clusters. Each clusters. Each one has both NIC’s on each node connected directly to the core switch. Each specifying the VLAN access on the core switch.Now the SFP ports are running DAC cables to a 10 Gig switch that is just in trunk mode. That switch then Trunks to the core switch.So are you suppose to use both? I thought you only had to use one or the other, normally this doesn't  matter, but the Core switch is over saturated and I could close out 10 Unnecessary wires.I drew a diagram encase this was wordy.

I have several instances of CE 2.0 for test running virtual under Proxmox. Today I got a message saying my license is expired and prompt a form that I filled out but my access was blocked. I didn’t know CE 2.0 has limited use of license. In reality I never read the license.Is this license renewable for free ?  Sincerely,Ventura

Hello,I have a serious problem installing a new cluster on old hardware the machine is NX-1065-G4 with 4 nodes, i have tried with newest, intermediate and oldest versions of AOS, AHV, VMWare as well different versions of Foundation on Windows, Mac and VM’s, tried to do manual install through phoenix and still same error in everyone of them. This error is right after downloading AOS tarball2021-04-09 12:26:28,283Z INFO Extracted AHV iso to /tmp/kvm.iso2021-04-09 12:26:28,802Z DEBUG svm_rescue:Unable to read /etc/nutanix/release_version: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/etc/nutanix/release_version'2021-04-09 12:25:15 CRITICAL svm_rescue:846 No suitable SVM boot disk found. When this error shows, the progress bar stops updating at “Fatal: Running CVM Installer, Starting host installer”, but in log it continues installing the hypervisor, and whet is stops on cleanup ,if i restart host it then continues to install and setup hypervisor and the CVM and stops on waiting for network, on A

Hello , I’m trying to install  Nutanix on one my huawei server for POC  and i’m getting below error. I’m bit newbie to Nutanix.   I’m installing it using latest ISO phoenix-ce2.0-fraser-6.5.2-stable-fnd-5.3.4-x86_64.iso   Regards,Harshal 

I have newly installed HPE DX380 servers, total 3 NODEs with 10G/25G Dual port NIC ports (2 Pairs = Total 4 Ports).I have Mellanox Network switch which is configured with 1 to 12 port on 10 GB Network.After installing the AHV,AOS & creating the Cluster, when trying to create the VS, it is showing 3 Network Cards in 25G group & 1 in 10G. Therefore I am not able to create a BOND. My question is, How come only one NIC is showing 10G speed & rest of them with 25G. Logically if I have already configured my Network switch with 10G speed for all the required ports, In Prism also it should reflect as 10G even if that NIC is supported 10/25G speed.Does anyone have any solution for this. I am missing something? Can we change the NIC speed manually on each Node?Thanks in advance.
