How do I know if my hard disk C is full?

I made an alert for the hard disk, if its use reaches more than 90%, it sends me an alert on the e-mail, but the problem is that some servers contain a C disk and a D disk, and when one of the disks is full, it does not send me an alert because the other disk has space, so how can I separate the disks from Some in order to warn when any disk is full of them

Converting BR1 to VS1 without reboot?

Good afternoon AllI have just watched a video about converting Br1 to VS1, during the process it shows that the hosts will go into maintenance mode and reboot, however the presenter said that unless the MTU is altered the VS will be created on all hosts with no reboot - I just want to confirm this is correct as this is a live production environment? Many thanksEric

Has anyone used Mikrotik switching for a Nutanix cluster?

Subject says most of it. I have read the physical networking “best practices” guide, and I am currently running a small (3-node, NX-1175S-G7) cluster on top of Dell S4112F switches.My org is looking to add a second cluster at a second datacenter, and I was asked if the Mikrotik CRS510-8XS-2XQ-IN or Mikrotik CRS518-16XS-2XQ switches would work for the new cluster.My initial response was “no,” but I’m wondering if anybody has tried it? I would be concerned about buffer size on the switches… but how much does that matter if all of the cluster nodes are connected at the same speed, and I have a L3 boundary (router/firewall) between the VM subnet and the rest of the network (router has much better buffering than any switch would)?I do not have decision-making power here, so how can I “influence” my boss that using three-figure switches is likely to be a problem for a 5-figure+ cluster?

offset and length parameters are ignored - Prism Central v3

Hi,In the Prism Central v3 API, when making a POST request to the clusters/list endpoint and the hosts/list endpoint, the offset and length parameters are ignored. As a result, the response returns all the clusters/hosts irrespective of the parameters passed.Has this issue already been reported, and do you happen to know when we can expect it to be fixed?Thanks in advance.

ESXI Veeam Backup to AHV at a different site

Hi. So I have veeam backing up a set of servers around 1TB worth of data they are backed up locally to a Qnap.  The servers are Windows 2012R2 on ESXi. The site I want to be able to restore them to has a lot of space on a Nutanix system running AHC (Acropolis) So can I just say shunt the Veeam Backups to the 2nd Site and configure Veeam to talk to the Nutanix system if so how do i get it to restore the VMWare backups so i get get them working on Nutanix.  It’s a pure DR Test initially and then if it works I might use the same method to actually migrate the whole sytem from the older vmware harware to living permenantly at the different site on acropolis.

Beginner's guide to testing DRaaS - where can I find?

I’m looking for a starting guide to testing failover to our Xi cluster. I believe that it is all configured and ready to go, but I’ve been tasked to write a procedure guide for a planned failover test during an outage window.Our on-prem cluster: AOS 6.5.2, PC pc.2022.6.0.1,.Hypervisor    20220304 build-342   Our Xi / DRaaS cluster is located in XI-US-EAST-1C, and has a few always-on servers. We are replicating a number of on-prem servers to it, on a one-hour, 4-hour, 1-day, and 1 week RPO basis, depending on device criticality. Some are defined as application consistent, some are not.We have about 70 protected entities.I am able to log into my local Prism Central and Prism Element, and I can get to SSH sessions on the CVMs and PC if need be. I am able to log into my.nutanix.com and see the configuration there, the AZs, and etc. Please let me know if some additional information about my cluster would help.What I need is a guide to failing over for testing, and recovering to the on-prem

Hyper-V within a guest VM running on AHV

HiWe have a cluster running on AHV and have recently found that its not possible to host guest VMs running Hyper-V within them, as a layer 2 hypervisor.The scenario is we have a few Windows 2016 VMs running on ESXi at the moment and each VM has the Hyper-V role installed in Windows 2016, providing containers for Docker.We want to move the VMs to our Nutanix cluster but running Hyper-V within a VM is not a supported type of nested virtualisation.Support say there are only 2 types of nested virtualisation supported:  Credential Guard and WSL2.Docker is able to use WSL2 for containers as an alternative to Hyper-V but our problem is we need to stick to Windows because our apps are coded for Windows and our Dev team are not keen on re-writing everything!I’m looking for an unofficial workaround, is there a way to force AHV to allow in-guest layer 2 hypervisors to run?   Its possible on ESXi, it feels like there should be an option in the host’s BIOS to enable compatibility.Any ideas would be

ARC Kubernetes Cluster, NKE and Azure Defender for containers.

We have setup an NKE with Rancher as the Container Management and Orchestration. We have also enabled ARC Kubernetes in Azure and enabled the communication between Azure and On Prem Nutanix. We have a strict requirement for security and require Azure Defender for Containers to scan the clusters. The Defender has identified some recommendations on the Nutanix Kubernetes as medium to high in terms of security configurations.Is there any documentation on which recommendations to suppress due to the nature of NKE vs actual recommendations? We have a "clean install" (but for rancher and ARC) and the recommendations are related to nutanix pods.

However, I’ve been following several different guides out there and not having much luck.Installing on VM using ESXi 7.0 (VM version 17). I created new VM w/ Centos 7 compatibility and loaded the ISO.ISO was downloaded from here:https://next.nutanix.com/discussion-forum-14/download-community-edition-38417And md5sum matches.The ISO loads and boots up.
