Installation & Configuration

i installed community edition on a no internet access network on a vsphere VM.Now i cannot bypass NEXT credentials page So,I added another nic to the VM on the internet VLAN, and I assigned IP and mask and added a route. I cannot still access internet, and the CVM itself cannot detect any of this changes. Any idea how to fix this? and how can i bypass this NEXT page if i dont have internet access allowed? thanks

Nutanix external networking seems to be broken. I’m installing on a dell R730 with multiple networking cards and LOM ports. I can only get to the system via idrac. I can't seem to ssh to ahv or the cvm. I can't browse to http:// management_ip_addr either. I have no way into the system other than idrac.Internal networking seems fine. I just can’t go external (ex. ping gateway) My thought is that there is some sort of disconnect between the virtual networks and the physical ports. For example, in VMware you need to select the right physical port for your virtual management network. I reinstalled 4 times on bare metal and don’t have any instructions wor selecting physical ports. 

Hello everyone, I have been trying to deploy Nutanix CE 2.0 in VMware vSphere - I am using 3 VMs and the idea is to make a lab environment to test the services that Nutanix offers. I hit on a rock with the creation of the cluster. First I noticed not enough CPUs were allocated for the CVMs, I now have 4 vCPUs for each CVM, the storage is 64 GB, 200 GB and 500 GB for each VM. My services weren’t coming UP and I got error from Medusa service about a Cassandra failure. I checked that an NTP server problem may be behind this error. I wanted to destroy the cluster in order to start again and add an NTP server to the cluster itself. Well, I am stuck now on “Destroy is in progress on the nodes: [cvm1, cvm2, cvm3 ip addresses] for more than 4 hours. I cannot either start the cluster, now that it is in “stopped” state, I cannot cancel the destruction and I cannot create any new clusters… Some services are still staying UP like Zeus, Xmount, Scavenger, but the others are DOWN.I tried various com

This has been an effort in patience. I have 4 HPE Gen10 DL360s, all with the exact same hardware config, same firmware, same everything yet every one of them has presented me with a different challenge when installing CE. This particular server will not get past INFO Removing the marker file.   My research has not turned up anything yet. I’m installing from phoenix.x86_64-fnd_5.6.1_patch-aos_6.8.1_ga.iso Thanks

What is the relationship between ntnx0 and the Backplane LAN?I’m running CE with 1 node, but plan to add a second at some point.When I attempt to configure the Backplan LAN I get the error:Error while creating Backplane LAN: Failed in cluster setup validation with error Minimum 3 nodes required in clusterDo I need 3 nodes to investigate how the Backplane LAN works?Really looking for how to isolate ntnx0 in a VLAN on br0 separate from AHV and CVM management network (VLAN).

I tryng to deploy nutanix from Foundation to an Cluster with 6 nodes (HX650 V3 servers) and get the errorthe IP is correct we can pinging the IP okusername and password are the defaultpluggedhardware supportedany suggest ???

Building a (3) node Nutanix Cluster for HomeLab/Education/Migration away from VMware.  Hardware:(3) HP DL360  w/  (3) NVME devices:(2) Samsung 256GB NVMe(1) 3TB Oracle/Samsung F320 NVMeCan successfully build the cluster and consumes the 3TB F320 devices correctly but also consumes the spare capacity from the CVM (marked at install) SSD.The norm is to consume all available SSD space but in this case I am concerned about wear level on the CVM marked SSD where the F320s were designed for high PBW.My preference is to only use the F320s for all storage operations and “block” the CVM spare capacity from being used in the default storage pool. Thank you in advance! 

Hi,I have 2 x 3 node clusters managed by a single Prism Central,  I have recently tried to upgrade the PC and it does not like the fact it is unnamed it has only a virtual IP - also with no entry in DNS.  So the terminology is confusing me a bit, to add a name to PC it requires the cluster name - is this a PC Cluster name, different to the 3 node cluster names?  or something else?  If I add an FQDN now will it break my existing clusters? ThanksEric

I have an older Lenovo ThinkStation PC running Intel Xeon W3540 cpu with 24GB of memory.  Would I be able to install the latest version Nutanix CE onto that PC or is that doomed to fail.  I would like to test out Nutanix since I will be working with Nutanix in the near future.  Thor.

we’re having an issue installing NGT from PC. The iso gets mounted but the installation doesn’t start, it sits there for a while then gives the errorNGT_INSTALLER_ERROR: Failed to establish secure connection with the UVM: 56i have run the following $certificate = New-SelfSignedCertificate -DnsName $env:computername -CertStoreLocation cert:\LocalMachine\My winrm create winrm/config/Listener?Address=*+Transport=HTTPS "@{Hostname=`"$env:computername`";CertificateThumbprint=`"$($certificate.ThumbPrint)`"}" cmd /c 'winrm set winrm/config/service/auth @{Basic="true"}' netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name=\"WinRM-HTTPS\" dir=in localport=5986 protocol=TCP action=allowwhich is a pain to have to do, sometimes it works but mainly it doesn’t.  i did think it might be to do with port 2074 and I need to check if thats open but as it has worked sometimes I think it must be.  The only joy I have is if I install NGT as part of a template and then follow the instructions.  Enable NGT and mount the

Hello Community.New to the Nutanix world here. Busy setting up a multi-cloud 4 node environment for our clients. We were experiencing a number of issues and attempted upgrade to PC 2024.2; from PC 2024.1.0.2. This has introduced a number of further issues, and I am suspecting underlying compatibility issues in the environment with the new release.Any guidelines or assistance from the community as to getting the platform stable and running optimally again. I am hearing and seeing that a fairly strict upgrade process should be followed to avoid such problems, any input here would also be greatly appreciated.Look forward to hearing from you guys, and thanks.Mark

I start the boot and stop with this error and it freezes 

I have some new Dell XC660 nodes that are on the HCL.  Trying to image using foundation VM with 6.10 and AHV lcm_ahv_el8.nutanix.202303020102001.tar.gz which is on the whitelist.  The CVM is deployed succesfully but when it comes to the Hypervisor Imaging stage I am getting an error in the genisoimage stage with No such file or directory.  Invalid node - ‘/tmp/tmp8rrjdqh3/repo’.  How can I get this working please?

Hi,we have a Nutanix 2-Node ROBO cluster and we need to replace one of the two nodes. Reading from documentation seams not feasable as operation.  Do you have any ideas? RegardsAndrea Meneghinello

Hi, I’m trying to install CE, on an old IBM server, for testing and to try out the hypervisor, but I get met by an error when I try and install via the ISO I encounter this error, any idea what I’m doing wrong? I have a another IBM machine, where it install with no issues and as far as I can tell there should be no config difference between them.  

Since we can now download NGT through here: https://portal.nutanix.com/page/downloads?product=ngtI was curious if it was possible to have a script automatically download the updated file every time it releases. I know we can do API in the Nutanix environment but wasn't sure about the portal. Or if anyone knows an alternative approach, please let me know.

Hi there,  I am trying to install the CE version for testing in my home lab with a MSI cubi 5, I am using an NVMe drive and a SATA SSD for DATA and CVM respectively, and I thought I could use a USB stick for the AHV, however, I get a timeout whenever I try to run the installation even though I increased the timeout in the installer_vm.py, any suggestions?  Thanks!

Right after I accpet the EULA the screen is terminating with this error “QEMU limits the disk serial length to 36, Serial is found duplicate after truncation XY”. Now I can’t find anything on the web related to this problem, so I’m going to ask it. What does this error mean and how could solve it? I’m using the CE version 2.1 

Unable to expand cluster from prism UI, host and CVM IPs are reachable on the target node. Pls suggest ways to expand the cluster.  

Hello FriendsHow are you? Currently i am trying to foundation A Nutanix 3 node environment but after the foundation process begins it will halt at “waiting for the installer to boot” stage with “fatal” error warning i don’t know what is causing the error can anyone tell me something.I have attached screenshots of errors and process.
