Nutanix - Server is not reachable

I am new to this companies Nutanix system and we’re getting “Server is not reachable” from the Prisim login screen.I’m getting information overload trying to find where to start diagnosing this issue. Hoping someone can point me in a direction of what to try first. I am remote so I cannot interact with the system directly.

Have a cloned VM inherit the assigned categories

We have a subset of VMs that a group of users needs readonly and console access.  This is not difficult with RBAC using categories.  However, when we clone these systems for testing  or new deployment, the assigned categories don’t get inherited from the source VM.  Since we do this often,  this is a management headache.Is this standard behavior?  If so, any ideas on how to do this easily? I was hoping projects might be helpful, but I can’t find much useful documentation or examples to guide me.

Windows Server domain join not possible when on different hosts

Hello, I stumbled upon a very weird problem and I am not able to sort it out myself.I have a pretty fresh Cluster running AHV which is for our Lab.I installed a Server 2022 DC - all fine. I installed a second one - all good.I created the Active Directory on the first one, edited IP-Settings on both machines including DNS and everything and tried to join the other Server as a second Domain Controller. That is where I got stuck. It wasn’t able to join the Domain. On the Error Page it said it was able to find the Domain but wether A-Records are not correct or the Server is noch reachable.Ping and nslookup works just fine though. I tried a day testing everything that was coming to my mind and after some while I tried to eliminate as much factors as possible. So I migrated both Servers to the same Node to eliminate networking issues - and this does the trick. When I want to domain join another Server from another Node it does not work anymore, as soon as it is on the same, it does.I then tr

VM Network usage statistics on AHV

Hi ,How do we get the exact BW/network stats for a VM. The entity chart in Analysis created for VM Network RX/TX shows different values for the tap interface on AHV Does the VM Network RX/TX entity chart for VM include the storage traffic towards the hypervisor ? Which is internal and the tap interface traffic is rx/tx towards external ?

Missing RX/TX dropped packets graph in Prism Element for AHV hosts

Hello,On ESXi based Hypervisors in a Nutanix cluster, in AOS 5.20.2.1 Prism Element | Analysis has a Metric Chart that can be created for a host:Virtual NIC bytes received rateVirtual NIC bytes transmitted rateVirtual NIC bytes dropped transmitted packetsVirtual NIC bytes received packets dropped Any chance it can be added as a metric chart for hosts running AHV? (perhaps I’m missing something...)I do see it in the Networking Visualization - (just the mini-charts when a host / interface is highlighted). We do have network visualization configured and working. References/notes consulted:https://next.nutanix.com/how-it-works-22/network-visualization-and-network-switch-information-37473https://next.nutanix.com/discussion-forum-14/how-do-i-configure-physical-nic-s-to-appear-on-the-virtual-networks-screen-37946

Safely decommissioning Prism Central

Firstly I am new to Nutanix and still have a lot (everything?) to learn on the subject. I have a single Nutanix cluster running AHV and a number of VMs in production, when the cluster was setup (by a contractor) a Prism Central trial was also setup. To be honest, with a single cluster I have not found any real need to Central so now the trial is up I was wanting to decommission it.The PC VM is also being reported as a ‘bully’ in the cluster so another reason to get rid. Obviously I could just switch it off, but I’m sure that there is more to it than that to safely and cleanly remove the PC instance. Considering my newbie status does anyone have any specific articles they know of, or even better some instructions I can follow to safely and cleanly remove PC from the environment please?

Can I create and attach a vdisk to a VM via Prism Central API?

Hi!I want to use the Prism Central API to create and connect a vdsik to a VM. The only examples and topics I’ve seen for creating and attaching vdisks uses the Prism Element API, i.e. using a specific CVM as the endpoint.I don’t want to use a specific CVM as this is to be an orchestrated task triggered by our ITSM system. We can’t rely on a specific CVM to be available and would much rather use Prism Central.However, I can’t find any API calls that seem to be able to create and attach a vdisk. Maybe the PUT /vms/{uuid} call is capable of this but I can’t see any mention of this in the documentation.Is there a way to do this with Prism Central?

mutual authentication webhooks

I’m trying to secure webhook communication. I’m using PRISM Element. My callback server uses https and has a web-server certificate installed issued by a local CA. First question is, which CA certificate will PRISM use to validate the callback server certificate? Is it the same CA certificate used for the PRISM web server? Second question, how does the callback server verify that the webhook effectively originated from PRISM? Is this mutual TLS or is there another method? If mutual authentication, what certificate does PRISM use for this?

Enabling Client Authentication with Certifiate

Hi Guys,I’m trying to enable client authentication through certificate on Prism Element (CE Edition), in order to establish a 2 ways authentication (Client -> Server and Server -> Client). I followed the documentation related to this configuration. https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Nutanix-Security-Guide-v6_0:mul-security-authentication-client-pc-t.htmlLet me sum up my current configuration:Prism element WebUI has a certificate delivered by a local CA.    Under the menu Authentication > Client , I’ve enabled “Client Chain Certificate” and “Enable Client Authentication”. The chain contains ( root CA + client certificate ). The client certificate, is a “Client Certificate” that support authentication, the common name is set and subjAltName also ( CN = UPN = client@domain.local ) When I try to query the api, I get this error message:{"message":"An Authentication object was not found in the SecurityContext"}It seems that Prism doesn’t see the client certi
