Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure

I’m looking into setting up an automated task to get the output ofacli snapshot.listfrom each of our clusters, so we can track down forgotten snapshots & which VMs they’re on.Ideally this would run from nutanix itself and spit out the results into some kind of shared storage space we can review, but according to this thread, non-default cron jobs are deleted when AOS gets upgraded. I also can’t see anything in PC/PE to automate this, or find this information without SSHing into the CVMs.At this point, I’m looking into writing a script to host somewhere internally that SSHs into each set of CVMs and runs the command, but then I’ve got to handle password security and frankly it seems like too much of a bother for something I’d only have running monthly at most, that would take me 10

what is the difference between these, can anyone share the refernce diagram for these 2 scenarios4 × 10 GbE (2 + 2) and 2 × 1 GbE separated Use to physically separate CVM traffic such as storage and Nutanix Volumes from guest VM traffic while still providing 10 GbE connectivity for both traffic types. The four 10 GbE adapters are divided into two separate pairs. Compatible with any load balancing algorithm. This case is not illustrated in the following diagrams. 4 × 10 GbE combined and 2 × 1 GbE separated Use to provide additional bandwidth and failover capacity to the CVM and guest VMs sharing four 10 GbE adapters in the same bond. We recommend using LACP with balance-tcp to take advantage of all adapters. This case is not illustrated in the following diagrams.

There is a cluster using GPU pass-through. It consists of 11 nodes, including 3 GPU nodes. Servers utilizing GPU pass-through are billed servers and should ideally have minimal or no downtime.Due to the current End of Service Life (EOSL), an upgrade is being considered.For this, the plan involves excluding one GPU node from the cluster, upgrading it to AOS and AHV standalone. Then, using cluster expansion to add it back, turning off the power of the GPU pass-through server, migrating it, and subsequently upgrading the remaining nodes through LCM.Is this plan feasible?

The last comment was that the support for vSphere 8 would be released in the next upgrade and that was four months ago. Can we get an update? We are telling customers they can’t migrate to 8 which is causing customers to look at other directions.

Hello Everyone,We have a cluster that failed. It’s running on an old NX-G5 box, and has been out of support for a while now. When trying to start the cluster, we’ll get varying messages. Sometimes it’ll say the cluster hasn’t finished being configured. Other times it’ll be about genesis or zookeeper. Genesis is currently running on all the CVMs, zookeeper is only running on one of them. I’m able to ping everything from everywhere, and all of the zookeeper and network config files look correct. Any ideas on what to check from here would be greatly appreciated.Another thought was that if we couldn’t get the cluster up and running, is it possible to somehow recover the VM disks and import them into another AHV cluster? Does anyone have any experience with this?

Need reference cluster diagram with vlan and container information lld diagrm for 5 nodes

can some on help help me with Nutanix dell cluster reference diagram

I have a virtual machine that created a snapshot. After logging into the CVM, I can find the disk files corresponding to the snapshot in the snapshot directory. However, the size of the snapshot file is equal to the size of the master disk, which is a complete replication, not generating a new file to store the increment. I added a file to the virtual machine and found that the modification was to the master disk, while the last modification date of the snapshot file did not change.The underlying layer of AHV uses kvm, which can create an external snapshot through virsh.Does AHV support creating external incremental snapshots

Hi,I have deployed a single node Nutanix CE, the deployment is done, and I am able to reach the AHV IP address but the CVM IP address is unreachable. However the CVM is reachable from the AHV when ssh. Unable to resolve the issue. 

Can some one help to get the Professional services precheck list

How Nutanix protection domain replication can be encrypted, is there any default encryption availableor we need to enable the encryption.

Does the Nutanix SDK include an interface for downloading disk content?Does the SDK have an interface for obtaining incremental data based on snapshots? Just like the Esxi SDK of vmware, disk data can be downloaded through SDK, and after taking a snapshot, incremental and differential data can be obtained by comparing the snapshot with the previous snapshot or master disk

Dear All,Can I add an NCI Cloud License by Prism Element?I have a pro license which will expire soon and I purchased a starter license can I apply it smoothly? 

Is it possible to "suspend" the Protection policy schedule without remove it?Thanks

Hi I’ve created certificates on a local CA for my two prism servers and prism-central. However it looks like the certificate update only applies to Prism Central. I’m using cvm-london and cvm-midlands as alternate names on the cert but the prism pushes out its own certificate. Is this expected?

How to run Nutanix Guest tool from command line powershell I tried with below command not installing.  Start-Process "C:\NUTANIX_TOOLS\setup.exe" -Wait -Verb RunAs -ArgumentList "/quiet ACCEPTEULA=yes /norestart"

I recently tried to deploy prism central 2023.3 by uploading the binary and metadata, but I couldn't deploy it because the customer didn't have dns and ntp, and also didn't need the microservices. There is a way to deploy it without it?

Hello every one Can you supporting me in my Case we have now 3 nodes NX and we need add new node NX-8135N.When I foundation vm the installation failed and I get this log error  

We got a couple of servers with 2 x Dual Port 100GB Ethernet Adapters and 1 x Dual Port 10/25GB Ethernet Adapter, I need some clarity if AHV supports uplink speeds of 100GB. From the documentation I’ve been reading on the support portal, it mentions that AHV cluster networking only supports 10, 25 and 40GB (https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/solutions/details?targetId=BP-2105-Linux-on-AHV:nutanix-ahv-cluster-networking.html). Does this mean that those speeds are only for AHV / AOS and a separate bridge can be created with the 100GB uplinks for the virtual machine traffic?

Dear community,We are facing a weird issue regarding vTPM and already opened a support case without much luck.Our cluster is fully updated and we are even using PC 2023.x build.If we create a new Windows 11 22H2 virtual machine, the “Get-TPM” cmdlet works fine and BitLocker can be enabled.If we do the same but with Windows 10 22H2, the cmdlet fails, which means we can’t use the additional security features like BitLocker or even upgrade to Windows 11.Have you ever seen something similar?Many thanks!Bruno Martins

I am newbie for nutanix, please provide me the relevant information or links to gather the same information.I create a VM for windows 2022 and that can be done via Nutanix API. But once the VM is power on then 2022 desktop experience, i need to select things in order to proceed with installation. I want to automate this process.Create a VM Power ON the VM Complete windows server 2022 installationBasically, I want to install the windows 2022 without manual intervention. So, that with the single click or script full installation happens without waiting for my inputs. if it can be done via API or someone created script related to ansible or terraform to the same just let me know.

Hello technical leaders,Yesterday, I recieved the letter about KB-14514. It is HP firmware issue.There is,---------------HPE DX380/DX360 G10 Plus: Filesystem Errors and I/O errors on a hypervisor boot volume・Identification:The node is HPE DX380 G10 Plus FSC or HPE DX380 G10 Plus. It may have different number of drives such as 12, 24, etc. Has HBA controller HPE-NS204i-x-Gen10-Boot-Controller. HPE-NS204i-p-Gen10+ Boot-Controller with part number P12965-B21 or HPE-NS20i-r-Gen10+ Boot-Controller with part number P26463-B21.The host in most instances will be unreachable via SSH and not allow console logins.Filesystem inode errors and potentially other filesystem errors will be displayed on the IPMI console. Please note you may not see this on ESXi.The boot drives in the RAID report S.M.A.R.T status as PASSED/OK HPE iLO console for the host may show I/O errors as per the screenshot.---------------W
