I have situation where prod cluster have multiple vlans and dr cluster had only one vlan, how to map multiple vlans to single vlan in remote site configuration in protection domain based replication

my vm size is 500gb but used space is 48gb, my replication still running after 55gb, may i know the reason

HiI have an intermittent issue where VMs can’t contact VMs on other hosts.  I’m trying to find a pattern with timings and the hosts involved but haven’t found one yet.When a VM can’t reach a VM on another host,  the problem can be resolved by migrating the VMs to the same physical NX hoste.g. VM1 on Host1 can’t reach VM2 on Host2,  workaround is to migrate VM2 to Host1This leads me to believe there is a problem with the network between hosts.  Each host has 2 uplinks going to 2 switches with active-active load balancing and my current theory is the problem lies with the aggregation.   Perhaps packets are leaving eth2 and returning on eth3?I’m going to change the OVS bond mode from Balance-TCP to Active-Backup and see what happens.  I don’t need the throughput of 2 active links so perhaps this should have been the config from the startQuestion - has anyone else seen this behaviour on your cluster?  Environment:4 no

Hi all, I’m a bit confused about number of vCPU that should be assigned to FSVM. For example, I have 4 nodes and each node with 2 sockets (i.e. 2 vCPU) and each with 16 cores (i.e. total 32 cores per node). When creating FSVM, for example, each FSVM needs 8 vCPUs, but I have 2 vCPUs per node only. And we need at least 3 FSVM, that means we need 24 vCPUs. Is that mean I must have at least 12 nodes? And each vCPU with 1 core only? 

Nutanix can get VM utilization CPU memory (low, high, current) like vmware RVtool?

NIC MAC address can only be configured via acli.It is not possible to change MAC address for an existing NIC. A NIC has to be deleted and then added back with the new MAC address. Nutanix AHV assigns NIC MAC addresses from the range: 50:6B:8D:00:00:00 – 50:6B:8D:FF:FF:FF A statically configured MAC will persist on a Protection Domain migration, but not on any clone or recover from snapshot operation Run the following command on any CVM in the cluster to add a new NIC with a customized MAC address:nutanix@CVM~$ acli vm.nic_create <vm name> network=<network name> mac=<new MAC address>If Network name is not working or not present, we can use Network UUID from acli vm.get <VM-NAME> or acli net.list:nutanix@CVM~$ acli vm.nic_create <vm name> network=<Network-UUID> mac=<new MAC address>Note: “:”

can we schedule snapshots weekly at a certain time example weekly Saturday 1PM.

Hi All,  I have done a quick google search and cant find anything on it, would anyone be able to advise if / how with AHV to check / change a VMs disk configuration so that a disk isnt included in a snapshot?  the same way vmware has dependent and independent disks.ThanksStewart

Hello,We will be performing maintenance on a network switch at our DR site that will require some downtime.  This switch provides the trunk ports for our DR nutanix cluster.  Do we need to shut down the cluster prior to the switch maintenance to avoid any corruption or will we be ok with just a temporary loss of networking. Thanks for any info you can provide!

We have a 3-node AHV Nutanix cluster and the cluster wide disk usage reflects the size of the disks provisioned for all the guest VMs. The sum of the disk usage of the VMs do not exceed 3 TB but cluster usage detects 11 TB witch matches the total provisioned disks for the VMs + a few snapshots there. My understanding is the cluster should report a total disk usage of 3 TB + the snapshots, What am I missing here? Thanks in advance for your responses.

I tried to install Windows Server 2022 using OEM provided DIsk image but its getting failed below error. Not sure how i can resolve this    

I have new cluster without license with RF2 redundancy, host failure happens, VM restarted on other host but disk is missing on the vm, is it the expected behavior?

Hi guys, i have a scenario here. An Admin forget the password and unable to access to both Prism and CLI.What should he do to regain access to the cluster? I understand if you have access to either one of Prism or CLI, you can reset the password, but what if both unable to access?

Hi team,We have a 20 node(Esxi) vSphere cluster with VCenter . and we want to remove three(3) nodes out of the 20 nodes and all the 20 Esxi nodes part of the cluster.and my questions are1.what are the pre-requisites to remove the esxi nodes from the cluster2.what about the data3.please share the step by step procedure to remove the nodes4.if the polices (affinity or antiaffinity ) are there how we can migrate the data5.what about the functionality of HA and DRS6.what about the network connectivity.please acknowledge as soon as possible.  

Hi,We have just implemented a pairing with a customer on-prem cluster and a protected side cluster and created some protections domains.All seems to works well but we search to obtain more information on protected side.We are currently unable to view Entity Count, Next Snapshot Time, or Entities on a selected Data Protection.Is there a way to obtain this informations ? Is there anything thats was badly configured ?Thanks for your help ;)

Hi,For a new customer we currently configure the data protection context from the production cluster to a DR cluster.The customer want to reduce the storage sizing by selecting which disks on the VMs that will be replicated.Is it possible ? I don’t find anything about this on official documentations.Thanks and best regards.

If you're working with a Nutanix AHV Cluster and need to download IOS files, here's a step-by-step guide to make the process seamless.Step 1: Connect to CVM via SSHOpen a secure shell (SSH) session to one of the Controller Virtual Machines (CVM) in your Nutanix cluster. Use the following command:ssh nutanix@<CVM-IP-Address>Step 2: List Available ImagesOnce connected, use the Nutanix Acropolis Command Line Interface (acli) to list available images:#acli image.listStep 3: Copy Image UUIDIdentify the IOS image you want to download and copy its UUID.#acli image.get <Image-UUID>From the results, copy the vdisk_uuid associated with the desired imageStep 4: Download Using WinSCPDownload and install WinSCP, a popular file transfer tool. Connect to one of the CVM IP addresses on port 2222 using the SFTP protocol. Ensure that you use the username 'admin,' not the Nutanix CVM username.

Can I test Nutanix REST API using Nutanix Test Drive? I also can not change default password for admin user in Test Drive Prism Central: “Nutanix/4u” and “nutanix/4u”  gives “Current password provided is incorrect.”

Can you help get the IPMI for Dell XC server and AD ports for Nutanix cluster 

"Phoenix failed to load squashfs.img from both network and existing CVM filesystems of the node"The error above was seen for each of the four nodes. The nodes are Nutanix NX-8155-G8.Any idea of what could be causing? Thanks

Halo,i have problem when sharing data accross VM using VGroup.So i Create VG with name “VGroupBackup” and attach that to Windows VM for SQL Backup. I want share that VG to multiple Windows VM.

I have 2+2 10gb nics for 5 nodes, is it advisable to configure 2 in one lacp and 2 nics in one nic.Will it tolerate 2 nic failures

Hi  I am new to the Nutanix and want to know clarity on  below query.Please any body help me on below query,we have  a five  Nutanix node cluster and out of five node cluster three of them G5-Nodes which warranty will be completed on 31-oct-2023. reset of two nodes G8-nodes which we were added recently to the cluster.Now we are planning to remove the three G5-Nodes from the cluster and if we remove three G5-nodes,two nodes will be there and it become a two nodes cluster.if it is a two node cluster there no witness vm for redundancy. Now My Questions are below like. 1.       Is there any possibility of removing 3 nodes from the existing cluster?            A. Removing the 3 (G5) Node from the existing RF2 cluster is not possible. (2Node Cluster                         and  RF2 based cluster are designed for different Infra)            B. RF2 to 2 node cluster is not supported by Nutanix engineering Team.
