How to calculate CPU ready time with python and REST API?

How to calculate cluster cpu ready time using python and REST API? I am having performance issue in finding whether my clusters are over utilized or under utilized. If I can get cpu_ready_time_ppm or cpu steal time for each cluster, it will help us ? Let me know if there is any other direct way to find it.An early response will be highly appreciated.

Very long running Prism Central Task

As seen in this attached screenshot, Prism Central appears to have lost track of this “running” task.  Updates of network security rules normally finish very quickly (I think might have clicked an apply button twice after editing a FLOW security policy during on-site FLOW training.)  Is this something only Nutanix Support can clear away?

Mismatch version between Prism Central and AOS PE

What problems or impacts can I have after upgrading the Prism Central to a version that is not compatible with the AOS of the sites that are managed by Prism Central?Will I have any unavailability to access the PE of the remote site via the web because of the version that is not compatible with Prism Central?For example I will update the PC to version pc.2020.11.0.1 and AOS of my PE will be in version 5.11.2 which by Nutanix matrix is not compatible. I cannot update the AOS of the EP at this time.

Problems connecting PE to PC after upgrade

Hi,we just upgraded our prism central instance to the most current community edition version of Nutanix (2020.09.16). We also upgraded our cluster successfully. For this to happen I had to unregister the cluster from prism central first (with the help of: https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/kbs/details?targetId=kA00e000000XeZjCAK). After everything was updated I wanted to register the cluster again in prism central, but after some time I get the error message “Error: Failed to create remote connection”. I found this KB article: https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/kbs/details?targetId=kA00e0000009BwxCAE and executed all the steps therein (which are mostly the steps I already had done), but the issue persists. On the prism central VM I can see the following entries in the “prism_gateway.log” file when trying to register the cluster: WARN 2021-05-12 15:17:55,410Z http-nio-0.0.0.0-9081-exec-8 [] commands.auth.PAMAuthenticationProvider.checkFailedAttempts:395 Failed to check th

Network Segmentation | Isolating Service specific traffic

Network segmentation enhances security, resilience, and cluster performance by isolating a subset of traffic to its own network.The four primary means of network segmentation are the following:Isolating Backplane Traffic by using VLANs (Logical Segmentation) Isolating Backplane Traffic Physically (Physical Segmentation) Isolating Service-Specific Traffic Isolating Stargate-to-Stargate traffic over RDMAWe will discuss on how to secure traffic associated with a service (for example, Nutanix Volumes) by confining its traffic to a separate vNIC on the CVM and using a dedicated virtual network that has its own physical NICs. This type of segmentation therefore offers true physical separation for service-specific traffic.You can use Prism to create the vNIC on the CVM and configure the service to communicate over the dedicated virtual network. However, you must first manually configure the virtual network on the hosts and associate it with the physical NICs that it requires for true traffic

Half-baked Self-Service with Prism Central

I’ve had a very frustrating experience with Self-Service via Prism Central (pc.2021.1.0.1).We do not have CALM, but since Nutanix does have Self-Service with Prism Central, we’ve been trying to use that feature for our users. However, the solution is very flaky with some of the issues below:Poor RBAC. The roles seem target to CALM. Why show Blueprints when CALM isn’t licensed? Difficult to provide as-required privileges for a self-service user. The user can create VM recovery points, but cannot see them for recovery (tried all built-in roles). Dead links. Self-service users see links for CALM, Files, Karbon. However, when clicked, they either throw an error or unavailable message or log the user out. Self-Service user sees more info than required. Can download cluster keys, etc.If Nutanix can provide a solid Self-Service experience in PC without CALM, that’d go a long way in attracting new customers and then later the customers may explore CALM.

Self-Service VM Templates option greyed out

I’m tuning RBAC to provide Self-Service users with just enough permissions for CRUD operations on VMs and Recovery points using the API and custom roles.When trying to create a VM, I see the following message with the “VM Template” radio button greyed out: There are currently no VM templates available in the projects that you are a part of. So, where is the association of VM Templates to a project? I created a couple of VM templates by creating the required images and adding them to the catalog. Is there some special permission required for this (because playing with RBAC has made this greyed out)?

Update VM Categories with v3 API PUT

I’m using AOS 5.15.4 and Prism Central pc.2021.1.0.1. Been trying to Update a VM’s categories using the v3 API PUT operation, but I keep getting the following error:{'api_version': '3.1', 'code': 409, 'message_list': [{'message': 'Edit conflict: please retry change. Entity CAS version mismatch.', 'reason': 'CONCURRENT_REQUESTS_NOT_ALLOWED'}], 'state': 'ERROR'}I’ve seen others get the same error as well, but without any resolution mentioned. Tried a few suggestions (use_categories_mapping = True, machine_type = “PC”, checked spec_version) depending on suggestions in forums/Support Portal, but nothing worked.Also, I’ve noticed (from release notes in various versions) that this error appears now and then with mentions of it being fixed. What is this error and why is it plaguing the v3 API? An update operation with PUT is very useful for automation and customization. Do the versions of PC and PE (mentioned above) that I’m running have this bug which is fixed in a later version of PE (AOS),

Prism Central 2021.1 - Report spam

Hi, we are getting 100’s of copies of a simple PC report (a clone of one of the built in reports). It seems after time change on Sunday AM the reports w/ schedules seem to trigger an hour earlier than they should. So they then run over and over until the time actually triggers. For example:Daily Report scheduled for 7am, runs at 6am (over and over - 718 times last count) until 7am (it runs over a bit, eg. 7:05am which I assume is just it catching up w/ the que). I have deleted the reports, created brand new ones, setup new schedules, checked time on PC CVM (is correct). Tried to restart services/cluster stop/reboot, etc. Even tried updating PC to 2021.1.0.1 (which fixed a PDF reporting issue we had, but not this one).  Anyone else having this issue?

Email Alerting

Hi,We run an out of hours monitoring service here that automatically contacts an engineer when a specific email address receives an alert.The problem is, I don’t want to be alerted to every event - only Critical or events that affect the running of the cluster (e.g. Disk Failure, Node Failure, CVM failure) to the out of hours, but we do want normal alerts to come through to another email address.How would I go about customizing alerts to a) go to a specific address and b) only critical events are sent?The e-mail config for alerts seems to cover all events which is great for in-hours but not for on-call. Custom alerts don’t seem to cover the events above.

1-Click ESXi HyperVisor upgrade still in progress?

I started a 1-click ESXi HyperVisor upgrade of a 7-node cluster which progressed well and had already successfully upgraded 4 of the nodes, when one of the hosts wasn’t able to enter maintenance mode because one of the VMs was spending too long consolidating a snapshot. After many hours had passed, the remaining 1-click update tasks all appeared to have aborted.  I manually resolved the issue involving the guest, and then started the 1-click update again.  It prompted for vCenter details, and then created new hypervisor update tasks to update the remainder of the ESXi hosts.These also completed successfully.All Hypervisor update Tasks appear to be completed, and all the ESXi hosts are updated.All NCC checks also pass OK.  The cluster is healthy, the Health Icon is green, and Data Resiliencey is OK.Howerver, the CVMs all still believe there is a Hypervisor upgrade in progress:nutanix@NTNX:~$ ncli host ls | egrep 'upgrade|99825' Hypervisor Version : VMware ESXi 6.7.0 build-1749
