when i do retrieve, i can do for the entire snapshot. but the snapshot contains a lot of vms and i only need one. so how can i pull just one?
Hello, After a new deployment, I downloaded the kubeconfig and upon trying to approve a Certificate Signing Request (CSR), the csr just sits in an approved state, but never becomes Issued. Is there a restriction or something on the default-kubernetes-<clustername> user that I might not be familiar with? That or maybe my process is wrong, its odd that it just sits in an Approved state. Any help is appreciated!
I just upgraded Karbon to 2.1 to gain access to the new support for Calico and was after some tips on how to create a cluster using it for networking.As I understand Calico can only be used if a cluster is created via API and not web UI. I’m assuming this is just because it didn’t make release and not another reason such as it having any issues or not being production ready? Similarly, are there any known issues currently I should be aware of?With regards to the POST I need to make to create a cluster, is there some guidance on setting the options under cni_config, specifically the cidr in ip_pool_configs and its relation to pod_ipv4_cidr, service_ipv4_cidr and node_cidr_mask_size.Thanks,Callum
You can create intelligent applications to run on the Service Domain infrastructure or the cloud where you have pushed collected data. You can implement application YAML files to use as a template, where you can customize the template by passing existing Categories associated with a Service Domain to it.You need to create a project with at least one user to create an app. Creating an Application:Create a Kubernetes application that you can associate with a project. Before you begin To complete this task, log on to the cloud management console. If your app requires a service, make sure you enable it in the associated project. Application YAML files can also be a template where you can customize the template by passing existing Categories associated with a Service Domain to it. See also Configure Service Domain Environment Variables to set and use environment variables in your app. Nutanix recommends that you do not reuse application names after creating and then deleting (removing) an a
Hi, I am a Newbie for Nutanix Karbon and I would like to know that whether the “SSH Access” under the Cluster tab allows to access node in any Kubernetes cluster or it only allows to access a node that is in a Karbon-created Kubernetes cluster?
We are looking to do application-consistent snapshots of VMs running recent releases of RHEL, CentOS and Windows Server on AHV. However, the following document indicates that releases such as RHEL 7.4+, CentOS 7.4+ and Windows Server 2019 are not yet supported: Conditions for Application-consistent SnapshotsIs anybody having any issues with application-consistent snapshots for these releases? Some of these OS versions are not even that recent - RHEL 7.4 was released in August of 2017!
Operating System : MS Window 2012 serverHypervisor : AHVIssues :A windows server with the above mentioned OS is running on Nutanix Cluster (AHV). The VM is not able to access via the PE while launch console it show a black screen. However, its still able to RDP into the server and the applications is still be able to access. But after awhile i presume all services went down and the above is not viable anymore. Have to hard reset the VM, after which the virtual machine power up and its not able to detect the virtual disk (the virtual disk is still physically within the cluster). Have to repair the operating system and reinstall the virtio drivers to recover the disk. This happen often, can i check if there are anyone who have experience it and also have a resolution to it. I have did some research online. Seem like its the VirtIO having problem . Will need to install the latest KVMnet drivers but i do not if this actually applies on AHV (as its based out on KVM) . Appreicate any inputs

Hi, I'm a little bit new a Nutanix, however since last summer I can handle it very well Now I got a question wich I want to share here. I have to prepare a windows server. The requirments of the software wich will be hosted on this server preverene dedicated CPU and memory. So is this in the nutanix (AHV) installation posible to create a VM with his own dedicated CPU's (6cores) and memory? Regards Peter
Nutanix Clusters provides a single platform that can span private and public clouds but operates as a single cloud using Prism Central enabling true hybrid cloud architecture. Nutanix Clusters provides on-prem workloads, a home in the cloud, offering native access to available AWS services without requiring you to reconfigure your software.You use the Nutanix Clusters console to deploy a cluster in a VPC in AWS, and not Foundation. After you launch a Nutanix cluster in AWS by using Nutanix Clusters, you can operate the cluster in the same manner as you operate your on-prem Nutanix cluster with no change in nCLI, the Prism Element and Prism Central web console, and APIs. You use the Nutanix Clusters console to create, hibernate, resume, update, and delete your Nutanix cluster. Following are the key points for running Nutanix cluster on AWSRuns on the EC2 bare metal instances.following EC2 bare metal instances: z1d.metal m5d.metal i3.metal i3en.metal Nutanix Clusters stack in AWS i
While learning AHV I’m a bit confused on a few things as it relates to vStores and Remote Sites. What is the purpose of a vStore and how do they differ from Containers? What are the implications of mapping a Site-A’s vStore (Container-A) to Site-B’s vStore (Container-B) that has running VMs in it? What are the implications of not including all VMs from within Site-A’s Container-A in a Protection Domain and failing-over said PD to Site-B? - Will the unprotected VMs from Container-A continue to run in Site-A? - What happens when I fail-back the PD to Site-A? Let’s say I’ve mapped Container-A (Site-A) to Container-B (Site-B). If I create a Protection Domain that contains VMs from Container-A2 (Site-A), how does this factor into my vStore mappings between sites? Thanks for the assist!
Hi all We recently converted one of our environments to AHV/Acropolis from ESX/VCenter. All is well and runs just fine. One of the caveats is, we have a tertiary machine we use in “disaster” type scenarios and with this machine we would use our backup solution to “backup” a VM to and run with VMWare Workstation. As I understand it, Nutanix does not offer a “Workstation” type solution, so I am reaching out to hopefully receive some feedback on what a “new” solution would entail. Could I build a small PC and run Community edition on it? Can communtiy edition run on say an i9/32gb RAM/1TB ssd or does it need N+1 to function? This way I could point my backup solution to the new cluster or have my cluster be aware of a NAS solution and ingest the AHV VM as needed in these type scenarios. Any feedback will help me in the endeavor!

Nutanix Karbon is a curated turnkey offering that provides simplified provisioning and operations of Kubernetes clusters. Kubernetes is an open source container orchestration system for deploying and managing container-based applications. You can also set up an offline Karbon environment using the Karbon airgap, Karbon uses the CentOS Linux-based operating systems for Karbon-enabled Kubernetes cluster creation. Linux containers provide the flexibility to deploy applications in different environments with consistent results. Karbon streamlines the deployment and management of Kubernetes clusters with a simple GUI integrated into Prism Central (PC). Kibana, the built-in add-on, lets you filter and parse logs for systems, pods, and nodes. Prometheus, another add-on, provides a monitoring mechanism that triggers alerts on your cluster. Karbon also uses Pulse, Prism's health-monitoring system, which interacts with Nutanix Support to expedite cluster issue resolutions.To set up your Karbon
Karbon orchestrates Kubernetes clusters to simplify the provisioning and management of containerized applications. Kubernetes packages applications in their own dedicated containers together with all of the required operational components for running the application. Containers , which run inside of pods on top of nodes, are the core building block of Kubernetes architecture. Using Karbon to manage Kubernetes operations requires a basic familiarity with key Kubernetes concepts. Requirements: Ensure that the configuration of the Prism Element (PE) cluster meets the following specifications: AHV A minimum 120 MB of memory and 700 MB of disk space in PC Firewall Requirements:Ensure that your firewall allows Karbon VMs and CVMs to reach the following domains and sub-domains *.cloudfront.net *.quay.io ntnx-portal.s3.amazonaws.com portal.nutanix.com release-api.nutanix.com Enabling Karbon: Log on to Prism Central.
