How to Size a new Nutanix cluster from VMWare to Nutanix

Hello All, I'm working with a customer on a new solution designthe customer has a VMware workload and we plan to put AHV,I want you to advise me on how I calculate the storage requirement, Let’s say the customer workload is about 170 TB how do i size the cluster storage Also, I have some questions related to storage sizesif I have 3 nodes clustereach node with 10 disks each disk 4 TB (numbers for examples only)that means total raw storage is 120 TBwe will go with RF2 which means 1 node is out of our usable capacity calculation So what is the usable capacity here after the 1 node for failure and the Raid used in the cluster creation, also what else should be conducted from the storage in storage planning?

Managed Network across clusters

Hello All, I have added a managed network in our cluster. We have since purchased another cluster and in the process of configuring VXLan and the ability to live migrate VM’s between clusters. From what I have been seeing we cannot have a managed network across clusters is this correct? If not does anyone know how to configure a managed network to work between clusters.Thanks,Scott

Cascade Lake vs Ice Lake

So i’ve been going through Google searches to find an answer whether Cascade Lake vs Ice Lake can coexist within the same cluster. Unfortunately no luck. So i hope this forum can help me answer this question.My concern is that i was made to understand that Cascade Lake and Ice Lake CPU architecture is different, thus that may pose a performance problems to VM even if the nodes can coexist within the cluster.So the question is, can NX-G7 and NX-G8, which will run on different CPU archtiecture coexist within the same cluster and will it cause any performance issues if this is possible?It would help if you can point me to a KB article or any article for that matter to explain this.Thank you in advance for the help……..

Automatically Hibernate your Nutanix Cluster

Why a Grizzly bear? Why not? Awhile ago I created a video showing how you could easily save lots of money by saving dollars on the EC2 costs by using hibernate. Nutanix Clusters is the only on-prem vendor offering this for customers that want to lift and shift to the public cloud or use the public cloud for DR. I want to share the code snippet and how to create an API user in the Clusters portal.You can first get familiar with hibernate here: To create an API user to make the call:Go to the Clusters portal Under Organization go to usersGo to the user optionCreate an API userAdd an API user You can limit the scope of the user to a single cluster. Once you have a API user you can use the below script to make an API call or add a script to a VM.#!/usr/local/bin/pythonimport hashlibimport hmacimport timeimport requestsimport base64# Client credentials#client_id from the user from the clusters portalclient_id = "*********.img.cloud-internal.nutanix.com" #client_secret password from the

Don't Control the Network? No Problem. Nutanix Native DR Encryption to The Rescue

Stop the Man in the Middle Attacks.Whether you're replicating to the cloud or to a remote branch site you may not control the networking stack and to end. When you don't control the networking stack end to end or you're in an environment that simply doesn't have a firewall you can use Nutanix Native DR encryption between your Nutanix clusters. The feature is fully supported for both PD and Nutanix DR(PC) based replication.Changes will persistent after reboots of the CVMs and upon upgrades.AOS needs to be on 6.1 or higher.DR with Encryption will use 14119,14108 as additional ports that need to open bi-directional when all of the CVMS. *** Note you need to run the below steps on each cluster.To enable this featureSSH to the CVM Change the folder to bin - all the python commands need to ran from the bin directory cd bin Run the script. For PD based Replication python onwire_encryption_tool.py --enable <remote_cluster_vip> For PC/Nutanix DR Replication Enure your Prism Centrals

FRAME : AZURE enterprise application could not authenticate

I want to try FRAME with azure to see what it give “hope” azure native login is supported.I created the enterprise application , the secret etc.. the only step that i change is that i set the owner permission on the RG quite better than the subscription but i receive an ADAL error during authentication ; this is maybe because ADAL is depreciated .. could you warn the support about it ?

NC2 Azure - Networking Flows between On-premises and Azure

Prism Central in Azure provides the control plane for Flow Virtual Networking. The subnet for Prism Central is delegated to Microsoft.BareMetal/AzureHostedService, so you can use native Azure networking to distribute IP addresses for Prism Central.Once you deploy Prism Central, the Flow Virtual Networking Gateway (FGW) VM deploys into the same VNet that Prism Central uses. The FGW allows communication between the guest VMs using the VPCs and the native Azure services. Using the FGW, guest VMs have parity with native Azure VMs for elements such as:User-defined routes: You can create custom or user-defined (static) routes in Azure to override Azure’s default system routes or to add routes to a subnet’s route table. In Azure, you create a route table, then associate the route table to zero or more virtual network subnets. Load balancer deployment: You can balance services offered by guest VMs with the Azure-native load balancer. Network security groups: You can write stateful firewall pol
