Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure

I recently deployed Nutanix , but when I am opening web browser it is showing and I belive that it might be the certificate issue. I issued a commad to check the certificate in CVM and it is showing below and my system team already passed the date and time, what might be the other issue. Cluster is showing UP and healthy.  upstream connect error or disconnect/reset before headers. retried and the latest reset reason: connection failure, transport failure reason: TLS error: 268435581:SSL routines:OPENSSL_internal:CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED

Are we able to configure a recovery plan in Nutanix Leap when we have Production and DR clusters (10 Clusters each) managed across two separate PCVMs (both running version 7.5.0.5)?Currently, while creating the recovery plan, I can select individual VMs, but I do not see an option to select at the cluster level. Is this expected behavior when using two PCVMs, and how can we properly configure a recovery plan in this setup?Any guidance on achieving this design would be helpful.

Hi I have a customer that is asking me for some feature on Nutanix (AHV) that may provide some kind of immutability for the VM snapshots, so in the event of an admin account hack the snapshots could not be destroyed.I was looking for something like that on AHV and I discovered Secure Snapshots with Approval Policies in Prism Central and I’d like to confirm a few points regarding requirements and licensing.https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Disaster-Recovery-DRaaS-Guide-vpc_7_5:ecd-approval-policies-dr-pc-c.htmlContext:The customer has two AHV clusters, each one with his own Prism Central Licensing: NCI Pro + Advanced Replication add-on (Metro/Sync already in use) + NUS Pro Goal: prevent accidental or malicious deletion of snapshots/recovery points, not VMs themselves (it would be also great but I think it can’t be protected with aprobal policies)So from the documentation, I understand that Secure Snapshots allows attaching an Approval Policy to a Protection Poli

I migrated several Windows VMs using Nutanix Move.After the migration, I noticed that the network configurations of some VMs do not match the source settingsIPv6 protocol: Disable → Enabled I checked KB-10818, but it doesn't seem to apply to my case.(Move degraded?) Network location: Public → Private (or Private → Public) Windows Firewall: Disable → EnabledWhy are these settings changing during migration? Environment:AOS: 6.10.1(Source) → 6.10.1(Target) Hypervisor: AHV 20230302.103003(Source) → AHV 20230302.103003(Target) Guest OS: Windows Server 2019 Nutanix Move version: 6.0

Hello,Today I have delivered a three node Cluster to customer.Cluster was Set Up a few days ago in my Environment with a flat Switch.Bond mode for both vswitches is active-backup.Unfortunately Customer had prepared his ToR switches with LACP.All hosts and CVMs cannot communicate.What is the recommended procedure to fix ist?Change bond Mode host by host with manage_ovs  OR Let network team configure the switches (disable LACP) and configure the clusternodes via Prism, after that let Network Team enable LACPKind regards,Thomas

Hi,I’m looking to deploy the L4 load balancers for domain controller services LDAP(S), NTP, & DNS, you know they type of thing that gets addresses programmed into devices/applications.I can create a LB session for an IP and have it listen on multiple ports 53,123,636 but when I gets round to selecting the destination VM Nic's I can only specify a single port for the destination.  Is there any way to balance multiple services from a set of hosts with a single VIP, or will I need to create an LB session and separate VIP for each of the services?Also some of the documentation i read said that It’s possible to use VM Categories to select the destination VM’s, but I don’t seem to have that option, which version do I need to be running to get that?

Hello, I have recently deployed nutanix with Foundation, and every went well and I can access the PE from web browser. But when I go the Virtual Switch section, I cannot See vs0 in Switch Tab, not sure what is the issue. I go to Cluster Setting and Reboot the cluster, but it keep on processing and so on entering in maintenance mode. Can anyone help.    Regards

Cloud-based disaster recovery with Nutanix MST (Multi-cloud Snapshot Technology) gives organizations a cost-effective way to replicate VM snapshots to object storage targets like AWS S3, Azure Blob, or Nutanix Objects and recover workloads when it matters most. Object storage is purpose-built for durability and geographic distribution, which makes it an ideal replication target. The trade-off has always been recovery speed: pulling data back from object storage to the AOS cluster is slower than reading from local NVMe or SAN-backed storage, and for large workloads that gap translated into hours of hydration time before a recovered VM could power on. For latency-sensitive workloads including clinical applications, financial systems, and operational databases, that recovery window was the one remaining challenge to address.Nutanix Instant Restore changes the equation for MST-protected workloads. Now generally available in AOS and Prism Central 7.5.1, it decouples recovery from object sto

HiI have a customer with an old Nutanix AHV Cluster:Prism Central: pc.2023.4.0.2  AOS: 6.5.6.6  AHV: el7.nutanix.20220304.511 We wil deploy a new Nutanix AHV Cluster:Prism Central: 7.5.0.6  AOS: 7.5.0.6 AHV: 11.0.0.2  But the problem here is Veeam compatibility between enviroments. Right now the customer has two Veeam 12 apliances, the initial proposal was to eliminate one of them and use a single Veeam appliance with Veeam13.However when I was checking the compatibility matrix I can see the following info:https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbr/userguide/ahv_system_requirements.html?ver=13https://portal.nutanix.com/page/compatibility-interoperability-matrix/software?partnerName=Veeam&solutionType=Data%20Protection&componentVersion=all&hypervisor=AHV&validationType=all As far as I understand from the previous links if you want to use Veeam 13 you need at least:Prism Central → pc.2022.6 or above AOS → 6.5.6.6 or above AHV → 10.3.1.1 or above So checking the inventory from

Hello,I have some hands-on experience with Nutanix AHV. Currently, we are starting a project that involves a full migration of our Nutanix environment from on-premises infrastructure to Azure NC2.I have been searching for an official step-by-step guide or a recommended migration workflow, but so far I have not been able to find a clear document that explains the correct process for planning and executing this migration.Could anyone please share documentation, best practices, or a high-level migration flow for moving workloads from Nutanix AHV to Azure NC2?Any guidance or references would be greatly appreciated.Thank you.

Hello,  I’ve deployed several test Nutanix Single-Node clusters for test purposes.

Estimado Foro,En relación a los procesos de migración donde el E2E, los procesos, flujos, ambitos incluso de permisos es un factor que limita y afecta una correcta migración.Queria consultar si alguien ha realizado algun documento de migración donde incluya: restricciones, compatibilidades, recomendaciones, el año anterior realice una migración en este ambito que me da un contexto inicial, sin embargo el reto es grande cuando todo incrementa en tamaño de Workload y criticidad, en este sentido si alguien tiene algun inicio seria importante lo comparta, o en su defecto lo ire documentando para aporte a la comunidad.Una consulta: alguien ha expermientado migrar un Active Directory to AHV, de pronto me puede compartir su experiencia? 

Hello has anyone used https://www.datamotive.io/ for a dr solution for AHV to AZURE ?  I am assuming they are new to this space. 

HiThis thread is related with the previous one that I opened some days ago but it was already closed as solved.https://next.nutanix.com/nutanix-disaster-recovery-29/replicated-recovery-points-not-found-error-45362In summary:I’ve recently deployed a pair of AHV clusters, each one with his on Prism Central. Later I’ve created a specific container for testing purpose called “Replica-Container” on both sites I’ve moved some test VMs to that specific container and and I’ve created a manual bi-directional syncronous replica between both sites. I’ve manualy added the test VMs to the protection plan and I’ve waited some time for them to replicate between sites. Finaly I’ve created two different Recovery plans Recovery Plan1 - recover VMs from site1 at site2 Recovery Plan2 - recover VMs from site2 at site1 I’ve validated both plans (succesfuly) and I’ve performed a Test.The initial test worked fine for plan2, however Recovery Plan1 shows this error:  I assumed that I should have to wait more t

When I hear the words clean room, my mind goes straight to Dexter — the TV show about a forensic blood spatter analyst who moonlights as a vigilante. His clean room is meticulous: sealed in plastic, no trace evidence, no contamination, nothing gets in or out. In some ways, it makes perfect sense as a metaphor. Dexter was in the business of containing and eliminating threats — and in the IT world, so are we. We are just going after ransomware actors instead of murderers. The plastic sheeting is a little different, but the principle is the same: isolate the threat completely before you do the work. Ransomware recovery used to mean one thing: restore from backup and hope for the best. That approach has a serious flaw — if your recovery environment connects to the same infected infrastructure you are restoring from, you risk reinfecting your clean data before you ever flip a switch. The answer is not faster backups. It is a clean room: an isolated, air-gapped environment where you can vali

Hi,I’m currently configuring synchronous replication (manual failover, no Witness VM yet) between two AHV clusters managed by Prism Central 7.5.0.5 (each cluster has it’s own PC).Since there is no Witness deployed, this is not Metro Availability, but a synchronous Protection Policy with manual failover. As soon as I have the Witness VM I will test the Metro Availability feature.Current setup Created a container named Metro_CPD1 on both clusters. Created 3 test VMs on Cluster1 and placed them in the Metro_CPD1 container. From PC1 I’ve created a Synchronous Protection Policy (ReplicaMetro-CPD1-to-CPD2) with manual failover. From PC1 I’ve created a Recovery Plan (Recovery-metro-replica1) : Primary location: Cluster1 Recovery location: Cluster2 Execution mode: Manual Added the 3 VMs to the Recovery Sequence. Configured Network Mappings (Prod LAN and Test LAN with IP pools). After creating the Recovery plan I do a “Validate” and it completes successfully on both site

Hi,I have recently deployed a pair of AHV clusters on a customer. Each cluster has its own Prism Central cause they are going to be part of a Metro availability environment with a witness VM on a third site.Now the customer is asking me if he could have some kind of overview and managing of both clusters from a single dashboard.I think that Nutanix Central could accomplish that request, however I’ve never deployed it and I have some questions.Checking the documentation I see that you can deploy it onpremise by downloading it from each Prism Central marketplace. So I assume it will deploy a VM appliance on each cluster (similar to prism central) and I should have to config it.Are there any specific tips that you could provide before deploying it?By the way, both clusters have PC 7.5.0.5 and AHV 11, everything is up to date, so I assume there is no incompatibility with nutanix central.Thanks in advance!
