Sudden Power Outage now Corrupt files

Ok Everyone, I am fairly new to the Nutanix system as our company recently decided to upgrade all server hardware to a Hyper-Converged system. Because of this, my knowledge of the backupsnapshot systems used by Nutanix is very limited, so please bear with me. So heres the issue; yesterday afternoon one of UPS burned itself up and caused a sudden power outage in our core datacenter. This location houses our primary Nutanix 4 node cluster. This is also the location where all employee profiles are stored using the Nutanix File Server system. After power was restored and th Nutanix system powered back up (took roughly 30mins) all services seemed to be restored. The next morning however, we started recieving calls about users not being able to login to the system. They are getting errors about network profiles not being available. Quicking checking the HomeShare location, we quickly determined the users home profile folder is suffering some issues. Properties shows 0bytes and all tabs a

Distributed object storage on Nutanix

Hi, we're starting to look at using Spark on our Nutanix cluster. Not in a huge way but to run some ETL processes in parallel. I'm under pressure to install Hadoop, or at least HDFS on the cluster but the entire concept of adding a distributed, resilient "filesystem" (actually I think it's more an object store) on top of the one already provided by Nutanix seems somewhat off. Is there a recommended way of doing this? I know that containers are exported to ESXi via NFS. Would that be usable? Would that be able to leverage stargate to access from anywhere? All I really need is a globally available volume shared between all my nodes.

Would PD snapshots work fine if remote site cluster's IP addresses are reconfigured

Hi All, (Async DR, Nutanix-to-Nutanix) One of our customer are moving their DRC site to a new location, which will require IP addresses reconfiguration (to a totally different set of IPs) to their DRC Nutanix cluster. As there are already current PD snapshots in the DRC cluster (~5TB disk space), they wouldn't want to lost them upon IP addresses reconfiguration/DRC relocation. Kindly advise for any risk; and if there are risks to current PD snapshots' availability/reliability, kindly advise for any workaround.

AD DC on Nutanix Hyper-V

Hi I found the KB below stating you can't virtualize domain controllers on Nutanix Hyper-V. [url=https://portal.nutanix.com/#/page/kbs/details?targetId=kA032000000TTGWCA4]https://portal.nutanix.com/#/page/kbs/details?targetId=kA032000000TTGWCA4[/url] Quote: "Why? Because Hyper-V wants to contact the AD server before it can power up any VM on Nutanix storage, and the AD server would not be available because the VM cannot be booted." I am of the understanding that this might have been a thing in up until 2008 R2, but this should not be a problem when running Hyper-V on 2012 R2. Anyone that could shed some light on the matter? Would like to call the support line, but that is not an option right now since it has nothing to do with our own nutanix nodes. EDIT: Solved. Found out it is due to the SMB3 share of the nutanix cluster, which requires authentication from the domain.

Containers vs Virtual Machines: Is there a difference?

Linux containers have been with us for a while, but companies like Docker have taken it to the mainstream in the last several years. For system administrators who manage virtual environments day to day, the introduction of containers from development teams may cause some anxiety.Should containers be treated differently, or do system administrator need to know when to deploy containers?Matt Hartley has recently published a good write up on it in Datamation.Article: Linux Containers vs Virtual MachinesOne of the first things to understand about containers vs. virtual machines is that containers are used for applications, and the virtual machines are designed for entire operating systems, and Matt mentions this in the article.You should try to keep containers to a single function.I also recently polled IT Pro's and asked if they have deployed containers yet and the vast majority said no.   Are you a virtualization administrator who is exploring the idea of containers? Do you currently hav

Windows Server 2016 RRAS Role and VirtIO Compatibility

I have been banging my head against the wall for the last week with the same issue described here: [url=https://serverfault.com/questions/843346/windows-2016-rras-installation-initialization-hangs]https://serverfault.com/questions/843346/windows-2016-rras-installation-initialization-hangs[/url] I was so excited to see someone had the same issue, however, their resolution won't work for me, unfortuantely. Or maybe it will, that's why I am here. Has anyone here had the same issue? Were you able to install different NIC drivers to resolve the issue? Or how did you resolve the issue?

NUTANIX & NSX

Hi guys, I'm still digging to give corrects answer to my manager who is puting pros and cons for nutanix on the table. As I need to make a design without knowing exactly where he want to go, I'm making assomption on it. I understood that they wanted to put NSX on it VRA and vCloud SP. I've found a couple of recommandations / tips on NSX over NUTANIX but nothing that can be used on design part (more on implementation which is quite cool !) Do someone have integrated it on a 4.5 cluster ? do Nutanix plan to give us a technical note / any other cool stuff on NSX ? sheers,

ASync PD and Snapshot Retention on Remote Site

Hi guys, Is there a way to change the min. snap retention count for local site AND remote site? We have a PD wich has two schedules. -every 60 mins - keep 3:3 -every 24 hours - keep 4:4 The problem now is that if for example the replication of the 60 min schedule fails because of network problems, or because the replication takes longer than normaly, the snapshots on the remote site expires. So let's say the disaster happens monday night at 1am. If the first admin arrives at 7am, every 60min snapshot will be expired and we can only work with the older 24hour based snaps. In the nutanix kb i can only find this article: [url=https://portal.nutanix.com/#/page/kbs/details?targetId=kA0600000008dn2CAA]https://portal.nutanix.com/#/page/kbs/details?targetId=kA0600000008dn2CAA[/url] which says: "...It's also important to note that the min-snaps value only affects local protection domains, not remote sites..."
