Authentication Failed

 I am using Nutanix Move version 5.5.3 to migrate a Rocky Linux 8.8 VM running on ESXi to AOS 7.0. Although I have entered the correct guest OS username and password, the migration fails at the "Prepare Source VM" step without showing any specific error code—just a message like:“Could not authenticate to guest. Error: ServerFaultCode: Failed to authenticate with the guest operating system using the supplied credentials..”To troubleshoot, I verified the credentials, ensured VMware Tools is installed and running, and also tried with a Rocky Linux 8.10 VM, but the exact same issue occurred.Could you please advise what else I should check or configure?

API or command line for Move

Hi,Is there an API or command line for both configuring the Move applaince (eg environments) and the migrations themselves?Doesn’t seem to be anything obvious other than the “move deployer” which is only the initial VM deployment. ThanksRay

Request for VDDK 6.0.3 for Nutanix Move

Hello everyone,I am currently facing an issue and need assistance. I am unable to locate and download VDDK 6.0.3, which is required for Nutanix Move to Upload and migrate VMs from vSphere ESXi 5.1.I have already checked the VMware (Broadcom) website, but the minimum version available for download is VDDK 6.7.If anyone has the VDDK 6.0.3 file saved or knows an alternative source for obtaining it, I would greatly appreciate it if you could share it with me.

VM resolution stuck at 1280x1024 after MOVE from ESXi to AHV

We are starting to migrate from ESXi to AHV, using the MOVE application. And as the title says, all the VMs are stuck on 1280x1024 resolution when they come up on AHV. I’ve tried the “Preferred Resolution” change mentioned hereDisplay resolution in Windows Server 2016 (AHV-VM) stuck to 1280x1024 | Nutanix CommunityI change the Preferred resolution from “<Unset>” to “1920x1080”, but as soon as I exit and boot into Windows, it goes back to 1280x1024 and won’t change. Some posts mention not having Guest Tools installed before the MOVE, but that made no difference for us. I’m stuck at the same resolution, regardless of whether Guest Tools was installed prior to MOVE or not. Nor does the method of access - launch console or RDP, the VM resolution is hard coded to this annoyingly small (by 21st century standards) resolution.And all my VMs are UEFI, which is pretty much the default. And obviously that can’t be changed, without deleting the whole VM.Is there any workaround or resolution

Is it possible to migrate a VM (Domain Controller) from ESXi to AHV? Is there a problem? How to do it?

A client has requested to migrate a Windows Server VM (Domain Controller) installed in a VMWare ESXi cluster to the Nutanix cluster with AHV. I have only migrated Windows and Linux VMs with Nutanix Move, in this case I do not know if it is advisable to do the migration. I have not found any information on this matter. I would appreciate if you could tell me if it is possible to migrate the Domain Controller without any problems or if it is advisable to create a new VM configured as a Domain Controller in Nutanix. If it is possible to do the task with Nutanix Move, how should I do it? Thank you.

Hi Everyone, We are currently doing AHV to AHV migration from a DC to another DC. I need some tips on maximizing migration performance to ensure the migration can be done in the fastest way as we have limited time. does upgrading CPU/RAM of Move VM do the trick? or is there any settings that can be tweak to increase the performance? Thank you
