Metro Availability standby site VMs exhibit suboptimal performance in protection domain

Hello,I've the error (see below), but I don't understand what It's mean in french (I'm french). What menu/option are concerned ? What are "standby site" ? how move VM to “this” site ?Thanks**********Warning: 1 VMs are running on the standby site 'Site2' of protection domain 'SC-Site1-01'. However, all the I/O operations are being forwarded to this site. This can significantly affect the performance of VMs. It is recommended to move VMs to this site or update the DRS rules. The affected VMs list is: FR-APP84DescriptionVMs are hosted at the standby site of the Metro Availability protection domain.RecommendationHost the VMs at the active site of the Metro Availability protection domain.**********

Metro Container Storage Missmacht

Hey guys,I made a quite new discovery that is totally new to me and I try to understand where this is comming from, maybe someone can help :)Scenario: There are 2 ESX clusters, connected via Metro. The DataStore on the source site is ~2TB, the datastore on the destination is about 1TB and I have no clue why :)Both DataStores only use compression, there are no other snapshots on the source side and this is for a couple of days now, so no curator run should be involved. Ideas anyone? Cheers, Flo

Non impacted services

Hello,I have been searching for KB(s) that show the services we can restart without an impact on the cluster (wither a single node or more) such as genesis stop cluster_health in KB 13150, do we have such information that we can use without the need to open a case with support? BR

Storage Container Recommendation

Hi,New to Nutanix. Setting up our new Nutanix cluster that will run VMware as the hypervisor. Is it recommended to create 1 storage container that utilizes all storage capacity for all VMs (150) to reside? I am use to creating multiple datastores in a traditional 3 tier architecture, but i know a lot of those practices go away with hyperconverged.The main reason I ask is that although we have no plans at this point to use other Nutanix services such as Files or Database, I don’t want to be in a position if I create a storage container for VMware VM’s and assign it all of the capacity and then find out later that I cannot use Nutanix Files because all space was initially given to VMware.Any recommendations or best practices you can share to ensure I don’t shoot myself in the foot?Thanks

Launch VM Authentication

Hello,We have a scenario where we need to grant access to console VM's to some users without this users have access to prism. Do you know if exist some way that bypass authentication to launch console VM? Maybe a API call that I can pass this authentication in a code, for example? I know that in url vm, I can inform the uuid of VM's the access works, but I need grant access without directly logon on prism Thanks

ubuntu 22.04 cloud images (img or ova)

For installing a Ubuntu Server Cloud image is it still required to customize it to add the serial port as described in a 2-year old article in this forum for installing Ubuntu Server Cloud.  Also do Ubuntu Server 22.04 OVA images work or must use .img? See: Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish) [20230107]

Creating SQL Server HA cluster with DR

Hi,I have two Nutanix clusters on different sites (one on each site) a few miles apart with 10GB low latency networking in place.I have setup a two node failover SQL Server cluster for HA on a single site, but I would like to add DR to the solution.I know Availability groups (and other options) are a good solution for this, but we can’t implement those at present and so I am looking for the ‘correct’ way to replicate the two node HA that we have (With it’s shared storage) across to the second site so that our front-end application will continue to function in the event of a site failure.Any tips or pointers would be very much appreciated!Thanks

Two-Nodes Cluster Replicate to One-Node Cluster

Hi,We have two locations and want to install Two-nodes-Cluster in the production location and One-node-cluster in the Disaster Location and to replicate these clusters each other. My question is:Can we connect two-nodes directly with 10 Gbit DAC SFP+ cables each others? So, Is physical switch necessary to install two-nodes-cluster? We want to use Direct Connection (via DAC Cables) for RF2 data replication between two-nodes and 2 x 1/10 Gbit Base-T port will be using for VMs connection and replication VMs to one-node-cluster in the DR site. Is this scenario possible? What about fail-back scenario? (back from DR to Production)Notes:We have 3 x NX1175S G8 Nodes We want to use AHV or ESXiThanks.

Alert on resilient capacity of a cluster

There is an option to have the Storage widget turn yellow when the cluster reached a warning threshold of resilient capacity. This feature does not appear to trigger an alert in Prism Elements. Are there any options to make this trigger an alert or are there options to alert on the resilient capacity of the cluster? Managing the capacity based on anything else creates more management overhead when each cluster has to have the capacity calculated individually and the thresholds set/reset with cluster changes. Since this widget is already doing the calculation it seems redundant to have to edit the storage pool alerts on every cluster. This is an example of the Storage Widget with the warning triggered. But the storage pool has not triggered an alert based on these numbers because it doesn’t take into consideration the resilient capacity.

Nutanix Data Protection about Three Sites in Two Places

Hello guys,We are considering upgrading the existing Nutanix cluster environment to meet high reliability protection for critical applications.Currently we have a site A as the production cluster and site B as the disaster recovery cluster. The sites on both sides use Leap to provide a data protection strategy with an RPO 15 Mins.All sites' virtualization systems are using AHV.Now we plan to build a new site C, and do real-time synchronous data transmission with site A.Site A and Site C will be deployed in the same building.At the same time, it is hoped to ensure that the failure of either site A or site C will not cause data loss or service interruption.We hope to use Nutanix's data synchronization solution.However, we found that once the VM uses Leap to configure the real-time synchronization policy, the original Leap asynchronous transmission policy cannot be applied.It appears that only one Leap protection policy can be applied to the same VM.Therefore, based on the above situation

VMs power on after Cluster power outage

When a cluster goes down due to a power failure, the VMs power back up when the hosts come back online.   Is there any way to control this and create a boot order for those VMs?

Guest Windows 2003 NIC malfunction after moving it to AHV

We have migrated a few Windows 2003 server VMs running on Nx / ESX to a new AHV cluster but in one of them after 3-4 hours the principal guest VM NIC stops responding and the VM has to be rebooted. We have tried deleting and adding the NIC manually with the same result so we had to roll back and boot that specific VM on the old Nutanix / ESX cluster. We plan to upgrade Fedora drivers to latest instead of stable and maybe change some network registry settings according to W2k3 best practices. Has anyone experienced this before? Any advice will be welcome.

AWS Cloud Connect S3 consumption issue

We bought several Nutanix clusters in 2019 and on two of them, we deployed a cloud connect appliance in AWS via Prism element so that we could backup our VMs to the cloud. We setup retention to 7 snaps locally and 62 on the remote (AWS) side. The question I have for everyone that uses Cloud Connect for backups is, does the S3 bucket that gets created by Cloud Connect ever stop growing in size. On our HQ Nutanix cluster, that Cloud Connect S3 bucket is currently sitting at 164TB and 177 million objects. This is a small 3 node cluster with only 10 VMs being backed up to the Cloud Connect appliance. Current allocated space for those VMs is 3TB. Actual consumed by them as reported by Prism is about half of that. Looking at the S3 bucket created by cloud connect, I see that a lifecycle rule was created to move objects to infrequent access after 30 days. I see nothing to expire old objects and there are objects in the bucket dating all the way back to 2019. So at first glance, it doesn’t loo
