Windows 11 Installation config

Looking for anyone that has been successful with installing windows 11 on Nutanix AHV?I have tried, in my VM creation i have selected UEFI and Secure Boot. What I can’t seem to get to is how to enable TPM? When VM boots there is no way to get into bios to enable TPM. So how do you do that?Thanks

Nutanix CE - Single Node, NVMEs disappeared after power failure

Ladies/Gents,Second time this happens. First time it did, I did not know how to fix this and did a reinstall. This time I am trying to find a way to avoid going down the full reinstall route…The issueAfter a power failure, in my area, the power may come back for like 5-60 seconds and then off again. This may happen once or twice after the power failure. In that case, what happens, is the AHV seems to mark the two NVMe drives as not available (I have one SSD, 120GB Western Digital booting AHV - so boot drive, and two Samsung EVO 1TB) and due to that, CVM and all VMs are gone.Booting off a USB stick with Linux Mint we can see the drives listed: All I can find is info that requires the CVM, what is gone in this case…So how can this be fixed? Is it a matter of booting with the Nutanix CE USB and doing a repair? Is there something that can be done on AHV (what of course I do have access to) that will 'unflag' the disks as bad (what they are not - if I do reinstall the whole thing and start

Can't install NX G6 AOS 5.10 version?

The NX G6 demo equipment is currently updated with the latest firmware. If you try to install version 5.10 to test the AOS upgrade with the latest version of the foundation, the 4. foundation version will not mount, and the 5. latest foundation version will not configure CVM after rebooting after installation and installation will fail. Is it like this originally?

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 nodes and when I connnect to the nodes indiviually via vCenter, I can see the controller VM. What am I missing?

Default networking for hyper-v cluster

I'm trying to find out what the default networking setup looks like for a hyper-v cluster. If we were to take a 3x3060 for example, I assume the 10GB ports are teamed and then both added to a external switch of similar? what about the 1gbs ports? if anyone has a couple of screenshots that would help my curiosity... Cheers Dave

NX-6260 ( NX-6060 - Part 422-NX-6260 ) Power Specifications

Hello - Can someone reply with the complete power specifications for the Nutanix NX-6260 ( NX-6060 )? I know these have dual power supplies. Please provide the following at minimum: 1.) Voltage of each power supply - I think these are 208V Single Phase 2.) Amps per power supply 3.) Watts per powerr supply 4.) Power Cable Ends - Please confirm - I think these are C13/C14 for each power supply. We do not yet have the boxes so I need to prepare for the power requirements of these devices. I am looking at two of the Tripp-Lite PDU Basic 208V/240V 30A C13 10 Outlet L6-30P Horizontal 1U - MFG Part #: PDUH30HV Also wondering what others are using. Thank You. Sam

vSphere 5.5U1 and NFS disconnects

Hello, It's made the news yesterday, but in case you missed it, there seems to be a bug within vSphere 5.5U1 that affects all NFS users. NetApp & VMware (at least, maybe Nutanix too?) are working on the subject. See the post below for more information: http://datacenterdude.com/vmware/nfs-disconnects-vmware-vsphere/ That may also explain the delay from Nutanix in the support of the 5.5U1? Did you guys catch this while working no the 5.5U1 support? Sylvain.

CVM Network and production network

Hi Everybody, I'm new to Nutanix, I'm having my first node installed on Monday so ery excited ! I have the chance to dedicate a Nutanix host for a Lab and will have the time to play around with it. I've seen that 192.168.5.0/24 is a dedicated subnet for the CVM, but this is also the subnet in which my Lab resides. Is it ok to use the CVM and the production VM in the same subnet ? What are the options ? I've been told the CVM network cannot be changed. But is it ok to have the VMs and the IPMI in the same LAN ? For a production environment I can understand that security wise and performance wise, this is mandatory to split the subnets but in my case this is a bit different. Thanks. Cheers. Fred.

High CVM Memory Usage in Prism

Hello - In Prism on an 8-node cluster, we are getting an alert under Health showing 3 of 8 CVMs that their Memory Usage are @ 100%, for about a week now as shown in the graph (in Prism). However, those CVMs seem fine in vCenter. At a high level, Guest Mem % for the CVMs are around 40% or less. Thoughts? Thanks.

Distributed switch

We would really like to use the distributed switch in VMware cluster. There seems to be a lack of documentation on how to properly implement it with Nutanix. For example I seem to remember that the Nutanix controller VM’s should not be moved from their installed switch and they have to be able to talk to vSphere and or the ESXi hosts. But if I want to put vSphere and the ESXi hosts into the dvSwitch and how do I do this? I might not be wording this question correctly, but one of the goals would be to have traffic separated by VLAN and protected by QOS where necessary. Is there documentation on how to do this correctly in a Nutanix environment? Has anyone tried to do this?

IPMItool Full Duplex Command

Hello - Does anyone know if there is an IPMItool command to set the interface to 100MB full duplex? Is this option to change it even available? We are having some IPMI issue where connectivity drops every so often. We are working with networking to check their side, and we've done various things to test/isolate the issue. On the network switch side, the ports have been configured to 100MB from 1GgE. One suggestion that came up from networking is to set the IPMI interface to 100MB full duplex. Thank you. RV

Have any users/customers changed either the default IPMI/ESXi/CVM passwords?

I'm deploying 4 Nutanix blocks for my customer. They are a security conscious company so changing the IPMI/ESXi/CVM passwords was a given after the install completed. We've experienced no end of issues after changing the passwords and now have a support call open to try and get the issue resolved. Don't get me wrong, the support is good, but I get the impression changing the passwords is something of an unknown. I'd be interested to hear other people's experiences.

Diagnostics VM Time to Deploy - 4.0.2.1

Good afternoon, Can someone please sanity check something for me, one of the BEarena team is running a diagnostics test which is taking 7-8 minutes to deploy each diagnostics VM. What is considered to be a normal amount of time? At this rate the 8 node cluster will take over 1 hour to run diagnostics. Thanks Darryl

How can I change the product location in the support portal?

When I go to edit the Break/Fix options for my products, I can't change their location - I can only change the support personnel. We're just getting up and running with our Nutanix hardware and we're moving one of our Blocks to a DR data center in a few days; our primary data center is where the Block has been assigned to.
