Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure

I wanted to start a discussion on our new Flow Virtual Networking VPC feature based on this video that TME Eric Walters created.You can use VPCs to make isolated overlay networks, do self-service network creation, or multi-tenant separation. Have you tried out VPCs in your environment? 

i wants to Migrate Azure VM to AHV Cluster, please help us to Migration Procedure.Azure Cloud VM to Nutanix AHV Cluster.

Hi All,  We have an issue trying to install Hyper-V on Dell XC750. From what I can find on the document, it should be supported. However, I am not able to find the customised image for Hyper-V. Appreciate if anyone can share thoughts. Thank you RegardsElroy

We have this event power on vm after failover recovery on random virtual machines, this generates unavailability.Does anyone have a solution on the matter.We don't know why the restart of the VMs is happeningHelp

Hey Guys,Please share the Use cases for above mentioned features.  

We have migrated few VMs from VMware to Nutanix, and Static IP information no longer visible in Adapter settings.

I have the following error (Inconsistent Virtual Switch State Detected)and some virtual machines restartHelp

Hello All, I'm working with a customer on a new solution designthe customer has a VMware workload and we plan to put AHV,I want you to advise me on how I calculate the storage requirement, Let’s say the customer workload is about 170 TB how do i size the cluster storage Also, I have some questions related to storage sizesif I have 3 nodes clustereach node with 10 disks each disk 4 TB (numbers for examples only)that means total raw storage is 120 TBwe will go with RF2 which means 1 node is out of our usable capacity calculation So what is the usable capacity here after the 1 node for failure and the Raid used in the cluster creation, also what else should be conducted from the storage in storage planning?

Hello,I’m trying to install Nutanix community on VMware workstation to test it. In the initial configuration, it asks for two IP addresses and DNS. Would like to know what the correct IP address configuration is if I have an ISP. Do I assign IPs from my ISP?  

Hello everybody, I started using Storage VM migration … vm.update_container VMNAME container=test-container … to move VMs from an old to a new container. Big VMs have been moved. I would like to delete the old storage containers, but space usage is still high, allthough VM have been moved to another storage container. I am aware of the directories … .acropolis, .file_repo and .ngt … and those directories are empty now. How can I reclaim space in a storage container, when VMs have been moved, the Recycle Bin has been emptied.No VMs have been deleted, only moved, so the 36 hours rule for space reclaimation doesn’t seem to apply here?Any thoughts?Regards,Didi7 

Long shot i know, but i’m wondering if anyone every solved the issue of VSS backups failing after June 2022 Update on Hyper-V 2012 R2 hosts. Veeam has this KB Article that references a workaround/fix:  https://www.veeam.com/kb4333However, it’s not at all clear how i would make a domain account an administrator/backup operator on the File Server that hosts the SMB3.0 share (the cvm..)

We’re running 2 clusters which are pretty much configured the same running ESxi 7.02 AOS 5.20.4 LTS both running on nutanix hardware.  One cluster is totally fine no issues but the other you cannot create a virtual disk greater than 2Tb! The issue only came to light when we had to move a VM off to another non-nutanix host for a few days then when we went to vmotion it back it errored complaining about the disk being greater than 2Tb, it is its nearly 6Tb as its a fortinet analyzer. I’m pretty sure when the VM was sat on the nutanix cluster its disk was greater than 2Tb and it was thin provisioned with a capacity of 7Tb when it was created!  So you can’t move anything to any of the datastores that are greater than 2Tb and you also can’t create a new disk greater than 2TB.  Also if you take a look at the datastores details it says maximum VM disk size 2TB, on the other clusters datastore it says 62Tb. It's getting to be a bit of a pain as the fortinet analyzer is sitting on a box we want

When running foundation from the same network as the CVM/AHV host should be in, I’m getting this error. Phoenix Failed to load squashfs.img. I can’t ping the gateway, and it looks like during the bring up it’s unable to create bond0 with the NIC, which is 534FLR-SFP+. It’s like the link just doesn’t come up when booting into the rescue image.I’ve tried:Disabling the 4 port onboard NIC Pinging itself from ILO remote console (it works) Pinging the gateway and Foundation VM IP from ILO remote console (it fails) Installing ESXi manually on the server to confirm tagging/networking is set up properly, and it is Changing the IP of the foundation VM to another networkReally stuck hard.

Hello Nutanix community, i have a question about compatibility between Cisco ESA C100V and Nutanix AHV?  

Hello everybody,I have an issue that PC Web console refuse login as the user/password were wrong, but that same user/password works fine on SSH, after troubleshooting, PC time zone set to PST not UTC from CLI while on VM configuration it’s UTC, I tried to change it to UTC from CLI , the web console accept the login, but after while it return to PST timezone, I configure NTP to local NTP. 

Can we export VM Snapshot out from Cluster using WinScp? If can is there any workaround to do it?

Howdy,I am trying to envision what this would look like in a Nutanix environment for planning purposes.Currently we have two datacenters.  We have one large vcenter cluster (Cisco UCSs, Synchronous Nimbles, Nexus vpc pair, L2 stretch on our own dark fiber (multiple 10gb links)) stretched across both DCs.  This allows us to vmotion all VMs from one side to another, take down half our hosts, or even a whole DC without any issues.Thinking what this would look like if we were full Nutanix and AHV I am pretty sure this would not work (1 large cluster as we couldnt take down 1 DC since that would take out half of the hosts\storage).  Correct?If so, I am thinking this would require at least a cluster at each DC, and then you metro-availability to uses the real-time sync.  Does that sound about right from a high level?Thanks

When I am upgrading AHV below is the error I am getting could you please help how to resolve the issue.  

I have a 8 nodes nutanix with vSphere 7 deployed. I’ve created 2 new storage container with compression enabled and map to the nodes. I test to copy the file that i uploaded to the default container to the new storage container presented as NFS datastore...it was very slow. 5GB took 2hrs. Then i tried storage vmotion of a VM reside on the new datastore to another new datastore. A 10GB VM took 20 minutes. If storage vmotion from the default container to new datastore, it fails. 

I want to migrate Prism Central VM AHV cluster to ESXi on Nutanix cluster, please suggest the easiest way to migrate with no impact.

The Flow Gateway VM (FGW) for Nutanix Cloud Clusters In Azure(NC2) is the Lynch pin to having a your own Supercloud. The FGW is responsible for all VM traffic going north and south from the Nutanix cluster in Azure. This virtual machine allows outside communication from both cloud and on-premises services to the workloads running on the Azure NC2 Cluster.   The Flow Gateway VM connecting Azure and on-prem services to the Nutanix Cluster deployed in Azure.Once Prism Central is automatically deployed from the cluster creation process, the FGW deploys into the same VNET that Prism Central is using.  The FGW is a native Azure VM. The VM has two network interface cards(NICs) attached to it, one for internal traffic and one for external traffic. The external NIC  where the floating IP's are configured for workloads that may need away outside clients connecting into running workloads on the cluster. The default installation will configure 50 floating IP's on the external NIC. These floating I

I  have a question about PD snapshot frequency.Referring to below link, a node with 32-64 TB HDD tier support NearSync and hourly snapshot with specify requirement (e.g. 14vCPU for CVM).Node Configurations for Snapshot or Recovery Point FrequencyIf I have a 64TB HDD nodes with 2 x 12 cores CPU, the CVM will configured with 12vCPU after foundation. Does it means that node not supporting hourly snapshot and NearSync?

I have a question about the “protected VM’s” in VEEAM for Nutanix. In the beginning, we had a problem with a Exchange Server logs. when the backup was complete with VEEAM for Nutanix the Logs from exchange are not truncated.The workaround was to create a new job directly on the VEEAM Server and configure the VSS to truncate the logs. It’s working fine! But the problem now is : the exchange server is in the Group of protected VM. When we try to delete from the protected VM group , the VM comes automatically in the group after 15min. Anyone have an Idea? Because the problem is now we have 2 different backups of the same VM.

One of the biggest changes with Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) on Azure compared to it's AWS counterpart is the requirement for Flow virtual networking. Flow virtual networking provides an overlay in Azure to provide secure communication between multiple tenants you may be hosting on the Nutanix cluster and also provides north and southbound connectivity. North and southbound connectivity is provided through the Flow gateway virtual machine (FVGW). Workloads running on the cluster can either go through a network address translation (NAT) path or a routed path not using a NAT. Which path your virtual machines take in and out of the NC2 Cluster will depend on how other services need to talk to the running virtual machines on NC2.The FVGW Is a native Azure VM that gets deployed when the first cluster is created. The FVGM has both and internal and external network interface cards(NIC). Traffic from your Azure Nutanix cluster is directed towards the FVGM’s Internal NIC And then eventually rou
