AOS 5.20.2 shown, can't upgrade to 5.20.3, says 5.20.3 already there!

Hi,I’m trying to update a Nutanix env, from Prism Element. Using the web, in LCM, I see version 5.20.2 being in there, but when trying to upgrade to 5.20.3, I get the following error:Update of nutanix.nos failed on 192.168.0.2 (environment cvm) at stage 1 with error: [Failed to perform AOS upgrade with error [Preupgrade task [57c7e9a1-ebc9-495d-a848-2ead17251730] failed/aborted with message Version 5.20.3 is same as the current version 5.20.3]]LCM is at 2.4.4.2. NCC check done previously, nothing to report. Here the LCM dashboard. Any ideas on how to resolve this? Thanks a lot in advance. BTQ: I’m working within a lab environment.

VPC and Flow policy

Hi Team,In the latest release notes I see:Flow Security Policies are not supported for VMs that are on advanced networking stack. An alert is raised for VMs that are part of both VPC and Flow policy, and Flow policies are not enforced for VMs on VPCs.Is there a time frame that this will be resolved? Like this VPC is not ‘really usable’. What is the work around to have some sort of micro segmentation inside VPC? Different vlan inside VPC with an 3th party firewall? Thanks and regards,Peter

Download Prism Central help

I’ve been trying to download the latest version of Prism Central through Prism and consistently fails. I then downloaded the binary and metadata file but they also continue to fail to upload through Prism after various progress. I checked that there’s at least 10GB of  free space in the /home directory - are there any logs that I can look at to troubleshoot further?

'Stop Update' feature in LCM

There could be scenarios where LCM (Life Cycle Management) update operation was initiated, and then we need to cancel it in between due to any of the following reasons: 1) LCM operation takes more time than the scheduled maintenance window2) LCM operation was initiated by mistake, and so we want to cancel it soon Starting LCM 2.4.0.3 and later versions, we can now cancel or abort an ongoing LCM update operation using the "Stop Update" feature available on the LCM page via Prism. Whenever this feature is used in LCM, it sets a cancel intent in the Nutanix cluster, which tells LCM to stop the update at the next safe point. The important point is that the update may not be canceled immediately after the cancel intent is invoked since LCM stops it at the next safe point. Hence, we will have to wait until the update reaches the next safe point. This safe point is determined by the LCM framework, which depends on the phase at which the cancel intent was set. Kindly refer to KB-4872 to know m

I am unable to launch the console for the CVM and cannot ping the CVM. I apologize for the formatting on this post.

Installing Nutanix CE 2.0 Test Bench Server

Greetings All,I am new to the Nutanix world (VMware refugee). We have a small vSphere deployment with 3 ESXi hosts (6 functional guests) being backed up via Veeam (on-prem). I am considering replacing this with Prism and AHV also backed up via Veeam. This would seem rather straight forward but it is not proving to be at the moment. Working with the CE installer and following along with the YouTube video by Nutanix University I keep getting stopped by various issues that do not align with what seems to be known issues. The first was the Realtek driver (I deactivated the onboard NIC and replaced with an Intel Server NIC). I am able to ping the AHV but the CSM is not running so I cannot get past the 6:50 point in the video which is ping the CSM. I should mention that I selected to install the AHV to nVME1, Data to nVME2 and CSM tonvME0. Interestingly if I altered the devices, I ran into different issues like first boot failures so I am wondering if there is a communication issue with the

This eliminates the need for buying Nutanix infrastructure to use Calm. Supported ESXi versions: 6.0.0 and 6.7 (vCenter version 6.7) Scale-out of Calm VM is not supported. Calm Version is 3.0.0.1. Policy engine enablement is not supported There are two available options. Deploying Calm using vSphere web-client Deploying Calm using vSphere cli.  1.

Objects Browser

 The Objects browser is a User Interface (UI) that allows the users to directly launch the object store instance in a web browser and perform bucket and object level operations. This eliminates the steps of logging into Prism Central and launching the Objects service. The administrators use Prism Central to manage the object stores. When an administrator creates an object store, a default bucket (object browser) gets created. The static website hosting capability is already enabled on this default bucket. The Objects Browser UI is hosted on this default bucket is created  The administrator can share the object store URL with the user to access the Objects Browser UI. The URL can be formed using the Objects Public IP addresshttp://objects-public-ipaddress/objectsbrowserYou can use http or https to access the web-browser Administrator workflow:The administrator needs to perform the following steps to grant access to the Objects Browser to a particular set.To grant access to Objects Brows
