Graceful Shutdown of Nutanix Cluster using Vertiv Liebert UPS

I have read the documents and manuals of APC PowerChute Network but it is a scenario that doesn’t apply to mean. Apparently, someone sold to the customer a Vertiv Liebert GXT4 UPS. Liebert’s engineers concluded that the product couldn’t provide a graceful shutdown of the Nutanix cluster, while it co...

We are planning to add new nodes to existing clusters.Before the extension, proceed with the new Node AOS install (Bare metal image) and then add.At this time, I want to know if there is no problem if the existing cluster AOS and the new AOS are different versions.ex) Existing Cluster AOS 5.10.9 / N...

vSphere 7 Update 1 & vSphere Clustering Service (vCLS)

vCenter 7.0U1c and vSphere Clustering Service VMs on local or shared storage.After test upgrading vCenter from 6.5U3 to 7.0U1c (which worked just fine w 0 issues), every vmware cluster with DRS and/or HA enabled gets 3 new vCLS (very tiny VMs w 2GB storage/.13GB RAM).When NCC is ran it registers 3 W...

Parallel Node Deployment

How many nodes we can deploy at the same time in nutanix ? Is there any limit or shall we just go ahead and deploy all the nodes at the same time ?Same query is related to cluster expansion, can we add multiple nodes at the same time in existing cluster ?Thanks

Nutanix cluster expand

Added 9 nodes(AHV) to existing cluster successfully and when i try to verifyLACP status with command (hostssh "ovs-appctl bond/show br0-up" | egrep "===|lacp_status") it is showing LACP status off.Steps i performed before adding the nodes to existing cluster1.Configured network on all 9 nodes2.Confi...

Simulating a Physical Cable

I’m new to Nutanix so bear with me if this has been asked. Is it possible to simulate a x-over cable between two VM’s? basically I want any traffic leaving a load balancer to be passed via layer 1-2 to a WAF appliance so it can be inspected. The WAF is in transparent mode and won’t have an IP Addres...

Changing IP Or VLAN In IPMI After Foundation

Can I change IP or VLAN in IPMI after Foundation that will be concern or affect to AHV environment?

Reusing the nodes: should you re-image?

I feel it is time to address a seemingly minor question: should you re-image your nodes when re-using them from an existing cluster? To give a better idea of a setup, think of a cluster with eight nodes, for example. You would like to scale down the cluster and re-use 4 of those nodes to form anothe...

Cluster expand: Controller VM disconnected from network

While expanding cluster out of 4 nodes able to add one and remaining three nodes failed with error “Controller VM disconnected from network”Description:Controller VM is not reachable from Controller VM in the last 3 attempts.

NGT on Debian (and other distributions)

Hi,Is there any ETA for Nutanix Guest Tools for Debian 10? Debian 11 is probably going to be released this summer, so it would be quite nice if NGT supported Debian 10. Or is there a way to “forcefully” install Nutanix Guest Tool on newer systems? Is it possible to build it ourselves to we can distr...

Flow Microsegmentation Guide

Security PoliciesTraditional data centers use firewalls to implement security checks at the perimeter—the points at which traffic enters and leaves the data center network. Such perimeter firewalls are effective at protecting the network from external threats. However, they offer no protection again...

Nutanix AOS / AVH - SFP+ 10G Direct Attach Cable for Nodes

Hi All,Current environment (~40 sites & HO) do not have any 10GbE switches and we are planning 2-node clusters per site. If using 2 x 1GbE Nic for the management like a witness communication, can we connect ESXi nodes using 10gbit ‘direct cable’ to support the workload for all VM traffic, vMoti...

How can I upgrade AOS version without Prism?

Hi all,I have a small question.For the pre-installed AHV nodes with CVM, could we able to upgrade only AOS version before creating cluster? Because the AHV version already same version as our desired version, but AOS version is not same. I know the way to re-install AHV and AOS by Foundation VM, bu...

How To Create A Disk Image From Volume Group

Hi,I would need some guidance on enabling Aide on AHV and CVM and strong password policy for the hardening.I found the guide on this link: Hardening Controller VMIf I enable the AIDE on AHV and CVM. Is there anything need to be done? Additional appliance to deploy?

Particular VM events

Is there anyway I could get all the task or activity of a particular VM?

Removing Individual VM Disks from Flash Mode

Flash Mode is a great feature ensuring that VM workloads remain within the flash (SSD) tier of storage. Once flash mode is enabled for a virtual machine, all of the disks associated with that VM (including any future created disks) automatically get added to the flash tier.However, sometimes having...

Move ESX nodes from 1 cluster to another

Hey all -We removed 2 nodes from 1 cluster and want to add them to another. We disconnected from vCenter and then removed them from the cluster using PE. When they were relocated to the new location, the vlan is the same and they could keep their same IP addresses, but the new cluster could not se...

Number of Disk per node

We are considering AHV for our environment. I notice that the OEM partner product list https://www.nutanix.com/partners/oem has fixed set of disks. Most of the hardware in the list are capable to be installed with more disks. For example Fujitsu servers are capable of 12 x 3.5 + 4 x 2.5 (on the rear...

Java Foundation Applet blocked

When I try to run the Nutanix foundation applet, Java tells me that the file does not meet high or very high security requirements and that it is missing a certificate. I can’t add it to the site exception list because the file: protocol is not secure. Some guidance would be helpful.

Query NCC versions

I have 20 clusters under management of our Prism Central and would like to know the versions of NCC installed in each. Is there a way to singularly collect this info across all PE clusters? Perhaps in nCLI even?
