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.
Hello everyone, I have a question concerning the analysis tab on the Prism Element UI. To get started i will shortly explain what our current situation is: Last year we sold some Nutanix boxes to a customer. In this contract we also included monitor/management services. As an agreement, every month we schedule a meeting with our customer where we evaluate performance of the nutanix clusters. There are 3 main fields we focus on during the meeting; Cluster host usage, storage performance and storage usage. (See picture below) In this report we include all the data we extracted from the analysis tab on Prism Element. We import this data into excel and pour that data into graphs. (See picture below). This is where our problems arise. As you can see we need both monthly & lifetime graphs from our data. In order to get to this graph we have to: -export the data from Prism Element *You cannot select begin & enddate so after we export we have to manually trim the data to
Last week I upgraded our Prism Central from 4.6.1.1 to 4.7. I noticed following the upgrade that our Prism Central cluster Capacity information was not being displayed, as if it was a 'fresh installation.' I assumed this was just part of the 4.7 upgrade, and that giving it time to collect data would start the capacity forecasting all over again. However, now 4 days after the upgrade, I'm still not seeing any Prism Central Capacity information. It simply states "We are currently collecting usage data. Cluster usage data will be displayed here in 24 hours." Has anyone else run into this issue?
"We are currently collecting usage data. Cluster usage data will be displayed here in 24 hours"" this message is showing more than two week in a Capacity section (cpu runway and storage runway) of all Esxi cluster in Prism Central.1) is there any way to verify the data collection progress in command line ?2) is there any way to stop and start this data collection ? if yes, does it affect the VMs and clusters ?PC version : 2022.4.0.1Esxi version : 7.0.1 and 7.0.2vcenter version : 7.0.3no of esxi cluster in PC : 23 clustersPC and VC are registered
How can I license our Prism Central? It's running a Pro Trial license now. I've generated a Generate a cluster summary file, but when I try to upload it in the portal I get the following message: Insufficient licenses available to upgrade from your current license type of Starter. Manual registration results in the same error. We have an appliance Ultimate license for 7 nodes.
Hi everyone i've an health cluster alert on one of my cluster but when i select this alert i have nothing in warning, all services are green i have resolved all old alerts thanks for you help guillaume
JSESSIONID cookie used by Prism is not being set. Tried with available options. Any one has succeeded in doing this?
Hello, we have only recently implemented Nutanix in our environment so apologies if this is a noob question. My issue is this: I have a 2012 Server VM that I need to repair using the CMD prompt. I am adding a CDROM with the Server 2012 ISO mounted and set to boot. After Windows setup loads I open CMD prompt but the disk where the OS is installed can't be found. Its as if only the ISO is being seen and no other drives. What am I doing wrong?
I am looking to replace my SSL certificates on my Prism Central and Prism Element deployments with Lets Encrypt wildcard certificates. I can request the wildcard certificates easily enough sudo certbot -d example.com -d *.example.com --manual --preferred-challenges dns-01 --server https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory certonly I get generated three files: privkey = /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem chain = /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/chain.pem fullchain = /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem Can anyone advise what openssl commands I can use to convert these .pem files to the required format needed for Prism Central/Prism Element? I have attempted multiple commands from https://www.sslsupportdesk.com/openssl-commands/ but I can't seem to find the exact one. I can also grab the intermediate/root certificates from here if I need additional certs. https://letsencrypt.org/certificates/ I'm looking to ultimately find a way to scrip
Hi, Is there a way to see/export the OS type of the VMs? We are trying to find out how many Windows servers we have of each version (2016, 2012). Thanks Regards
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
We have several AHV clusters across the WANscape all managed from Prism Central. On one AHV cluster, I created a Windows Server 2016 and a Windows Server 2019 VM from CD ISOs, patched and tweaked and these are our “Golden Images”. I clone those and run sysprep and those are what I make new VMs from. Now I have two problems: 1.) in each cluster we have an RF2 container and an RF3 container so these VMs are bound to one or the other, and 2.) how do I get these to other clusters? To address the differing containers, I end up using the image service (create image of the disks and create new VM from those disks). But now I’m wasting storage because I’m keeping copies of the same VM on two different containers. To address the differing clusters, I was thinking about setting up Protection Domains and letting Nutanix replicate them to each cluster. They would only get updated once or twice per month for Windows patches. Doing it this way would allow me to control replication schedule a
We have begun leveraging SaltStack for machine states, as well as VM deployment on ESX using SaltStack's Salt-Cloud component. We are however rolling out a pilot deployment of Nutanix gear with AHV, and of course would want to be able to continue leveraging Salt for VM deployment. There are ways of managing KVM via livbert, but this is probably not the right thing to try and do with AHV. Is there anyone out there who may be writing/written/using something that ties SaltStack into the Prism API instead? If not, Nutanix, interested in writing a SaltStack module? 😃
