Can the Cloud Connect CVM run in a vCloud environment?

Solved

With the release of cloud connect, you can backup to Amazon using a CVM running as an instance. Is the CVM cloud agnostic? Can we run it in other environments, such as vCloud Air, Azure or partner vClouds?

When we received email alert generated by CVM, the timestamp in the message follows PST time zone (which I believe it is CVM default). Can we configure CVM to use our local time zone?

Just wondering if anyone has ever used a single Nutanix cluster with mixed (really only two, 5.0 and 5.5) esxi versions? This would be "temporary" (although a month or more) just to provide a few nodes enough storage to complete the 5.5 proof of concept then migrate everything over. Unfortunately we...

0 VMs?

One of our newly installed Nutanix blocks shows 0 VMs from the web interface. There are no user VMs on this block; wouldn't I at least see a controller VM per node (3 nodes currently so I think I should see 3 controllers VMs). The cluster is up and all shows as healthy. Running vSphere on these...

110, 220. Whatever it takes?

Solved

I was looking for confirmation about a statement that I recently heard that the best practice for the power supply voltage for a block was 220 volts. And that if 110 volts was used, it was less likely that one power supply could handle the load if one power supply failed. Thank you.
