I am trying to find a download link for AOS 4.7.3.1. It looks like only 4.7.3.3 is available. Where would I find a link to download older AOS versions?

Recently it appears that our "Automatic Downloads" function is not working anymore. I referenced following link to force immediate download for updates: http://aakashjacob.blogspot.com/2015/02/nutanix-techtip-2-enable-automatic_6.html The results of the auto download log output are below: This is output from a Nutanix CE cluster but it is the same error I see on one of our other full blown Nutanix clusters. What do the errors mean and what could be causing them? AU used to work before the holidays and there was a Palo

Hello, I have a query here, we have deployed nutanix 4node in cluster with Windows 2012 R2 STD Hyper-v as hypervisor and provisioning of vms are also done. Now due to the increase in vm requirments, we need windows 2012 R2 STD hyper-v to be converted to Datacenter Edition without affecting the existing environment. I know converting Windows 2012 R2 STD to Windows 2012 R2 DC is possible in windows, however since ti is with nutanix i would like to know the possiblity and what is the way forward. If i convert via windows 2012 R2 will that impact the nutanix CVM in communicating and managing.

Hi all We have a small DEV 3 node lab to test features before moving forward, one feature in 5.0 we are looking forward too is the Self service portal, after upgrading to 5.0 I have selected the SSP which then asks for an ldap user, although this user authenticates correctly from Prism / Authentication / test When entering the same user in the cresentials for SSP I get the following error; Server with access directory url:ldaps://****** is down Has anyone seen this? is ldaps supported? as mentioned it works for Prism authentication This clutser is not under support, we are looking at a dev support option for this currently but we do have many other clusters Thanks Jason

Hi , I am facing issue with foundation VM based process.Installation failed after phoenix got installed with fataling errorAs well as throwing error as foundation failed configuring IPMI ip's [i did manually configured iDrac IP's before starting foundation ]

Hi, I upgraded BMC Firmware from 03.24 to -> 03.40 via IPMI UI today since that i can check the version of BMC on IPMI UI page that its 03.40 upgraded among 3nodes which i upgraded but its not the same on PRISM even its accomplished. i can only see that BMC Firmware 03.40 isnt upgraded on PRISM among 3nodes i use AOS 4.7.3.2 with AHV Nutanix 20160601.44 additionally, i have this fail message via conducting ncc health check funtion All 4nodes have intel CPU in them. The messages showing like this Detailed information for bmc_bios_version_check:Node 192.168.x.204FAIL: No Intel CPU is found on the node.Node 192

Hi, Is it possible to see VLAN base traffic in Nutanix with AHV in GUI or using CLI?

How to configure PRISM / AHV for syslog?

We are using Apache Cloudstack 4.8.0 with Vmware 5.5 to to provide IAAS services . We want to use Nutanix as underlying infrastructure Is this implementation supported ? Is there any recommendations, best practices for deployment or a reference architecture? We also plan to have HA for a class of our vm whereas others should not be replicated. What kind of mapping between Cloudstack and Vmware organisation units, and Nutnaix Protections domains strategies should we have to achieve this goal. If none of the above is supported is Apache Cloudstack in Nutanix roadmap on Vmware or AHV ? Thank you in advance

Dears We are configuring an iSCSI target , and we have security between ipnetworks, where CVM and the host vm are in seperate network. please advise ,which all are the ports needs to be opned.

Hi all, I have already posted this problem in other forum section but maybe it should not be there so I repost it here so that I could get an appropriate and fast answer To summarize the problem, I am in the same situation in which I cannot enable the deduplication on HDD and I have also tried running the commands below and the result seems a little bit inadequate because I have configured the CVM RAM up to 32GB nutanix@NTNX-13SM31320001-B-CVM:10.9.120.115:~$ allssh 'grep "for on-disk deduplication feature" ~/data/logs/stargate*'Executing grep "for on-disk deduplication feature" ~/data/logs/stargate* on the cluster================== 10.9.120.114 =================FIPS mode initializedNutanix Controller VM================== 10.9.120.115 =================FIPS mode initializedNutanix Controller VM================== 10.9.120.116 =================FIPS mode initial

Hi Gents, I am facing an issue with upgrading ESXi 6.0 update 1 to Esxi 6.0 Update 2. Please find the details below. NOS: 4.7.3 Hypervisor: ESXi update 1, looking to update to ESXi 6.0 update 2. H/W: Lenovo HX5510 Issue: I downloaded the respective binary from Lenovos website which shows as compatible for HX5510. MD5SUM looks good after uploading the ESXi binary but i see "(not qualified)" after the iso fille name on the upgrade screen. Also there is a warning in red on top of the upgrade page that says Version ID of the software release, , does not exist. Is it because Nutanix is yet to pass quality for this version or is it not supported at all ? Also is there any link to view a interoperatibility matrix for nutanix nos versions against different hypervisor version support ? Cheers,

Hi last week we installed the first Nutanix cluster in Venezuela with 3 nodes, it was founded and as a best practice, the vSwitch br0 was "splited"into two vswitches by creating the br1 then the 10 GBE interfaces (eth2 and eth3) were assigned to the br0 and the 1 GBE interfaces (eth0 and eth1) were assigned to the br1, the administrator of the cluster decided to switch that assignment, i.e. to assign the 1 GBE interfaces to the br0 and the 10 GBE interfaces to the br1 by executing on the CVM's command line the command. allssh manage_ovs --bridge_name br0 --bond_name bond0 --interface 1g update_uplinks after the third node response to the command, the connection to the ssh sesion to the CVM was lost and now can't access the CVMs to revert the command neither ssh connection nor PRISM. In the nodes the 1 GBE interfaces leds are orange and red, only have access to the console by connecting a monitor and a keyboard to the physical nodes, my questio

Hello! I am looking to delegate the ability to shut down and start back up our Nutanix cluster to our team without providing the root nutanix passwords. Is it necessary to perform a cluster stop/start via SSH into a CVM, or can we shut down everything without stopping and starting the cluster? Thanks! Ryan

Folks,Has anyone use or deploy Nutanix on Cisco UCS platform? Which hardware spec? Where to get Nutanix license for the nodes?

Dear Sirs Please advise , we are installing Dell XC 6320, where all network card are 10G (4x10G) and we used 2x10g for all the traffic (which is our test and development cluster) , we have total 8 nodes in the cluster. Someone is now telling us that the best practice is to use another 10G netowkr card for CVM traffic , as the CVM traffic in Nutanix is very heavy,which should not mix with production network card, Is that true , i have gone thru the previous posts and sure that 2x10G is fine for all Nutanix traffic, for my knoledge is the Nutanix CVM traffice is that heavy between nodes ? your reply is much appreciated.

Right now we about to push ESXi 5.5 u3b so we can move on up to AOS 4.7.3.2. Since Nutanix doesn't support pushing out patches, we planned to do that with VUM which is fine. At least saving time from having to bring down each node manually for upgrading to u3b. On top of patching, we're also installing NFS VAAI VIB. In our lab, we do it via command line, but has anyone found a zip, or package that VUM can support pushing out that way we can just package our baseline with updates and the VIB file? We can't find anywhere that has a zip file or anything we can leverage thus far. Since we have two data centers a good number of nodes in the cluster at each, We'd love to save time if at all possible, so any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, which 10G SFP+ LR (single mode) modules are supported in Nutanix NX-8035-G5 and NX-6035C-G5 nodes with C-NIC-10G-2-SI 10G network interface cards? Do the SFP+ need special branding, as e.g. for use with Cisco switches? Thanks, Erik

Where do you put the ESXi ISO files so they show up in Foundation hypervisor list? Also, is this considered a bare metal install? Also, if using Foundation, where is a good guide for installing using ESXi as the Hypervisor (Field guide not much help). Thanks

I have 3 nodes of Lenovo HX and running on ESXi. As we need to use Acropolis, we decided to do one click conversion and the process failed by first node unable to boot up with anything and boot up with phoenix# boot. Decided to do a reimage of the cluster so use foundation 3.5 with AHV and 2 nodes manage to install but the same failed node failed to install and stuck at 17%. Upgraded firmware and tried manual installation using AHV and later ESXi together with phoenix disc and the same node still failed while running phoenix. Attached the screenshot of the error. Appreciate any help. Thanks.

I have 3 DELL XC630-10 nodes in one cluster. Nutanix web console shows one CVM to host connectivity is failed. the other two is ok. I login this CVM, can't ping ESXi host internal Switch IP(192.168.5.1), but can ssh login ESXi host via 192.168.5.1 Admin console show "Stargate on Controller VM 192.168.143.35 is down for ###### seconds " alert. use cluster status command , all service within in CVM is up，include CVM 192.168.143.35, Would you help me to resolve it . thanks!

Hello guys, I have a question regarding schedule auto-reboot of nutanix hyper-v nodes. Understand there is a cau preupdate powershell script to auto reboot the node 1 by 1 and ensure CVM is up and running before executing reboot action on the next node. Is there a similar script we can use so that we can schedule auto reboot the Hyper-V nodes 1 by 1 without having the risk of all the nodes / CVM or cluster down at the same time? Thanks.
