can someone help me to modified worker spec, karbon worker need 8vcpu for minimum requirement and 8gb memory, can someone help me how to modified minimum requirement? maybe can we change to 4gb memory only?
You have a new Nutanix solution configured using ESXi hypervisor and you’re facing issues with Networking like packet drops and NIC configuration. You want to check if you have quite a lot of RX/TX errors in the NIC or if your NIC is flapping. You might also want to check the VLAN and MTU configuration or how vmkernel port(vmkX)is configured. Troubleshooting is fun if you understand the architecture and know the commands. We have a knowledge base article to guide you regarding troubleshooting network issues on ESXi in a Nutanix environment and help to make the users a little more aware of the commands and the networking architecture. Go through the following KB to get a brief idea regarding network troubleshooting in ESXi.KB-1088 Go through the following vSphere Networking Guide to know more about the architecture.vSphere Guide Networking
Ray Hassan from our solution engineering team has blogged about Elasticsearch on his site cannybag.com (don't ask :-) Here are some relevant blogs worth sharing: * http://cannybag.com/2015/10/elk-on-nutanix-elasticsearch/ * http://cannybag.com/2018/08/elasticsearch-sizing-on-nutanix/ Elasticsearch is also available as a pre-seeded app blueprint through Calm -- https://portal.nutanix.com/#/page/docs/details?targetId=Nutanix-Calm-Admin-Operations-Guide-v57:nuc-launching-elastic-search-app-blueprint-t.html Gabe Contreras, consulting architect in our services team is also writing up a blog about Elasticsearch on Nutanix that will be published soon. @aluciani or I will post the link here as a reply once its posted.
Let’s say you have a new NX Hyper-converged architecture and want to use Hyper-V as a hypervisor, but now you are confused regarding the initial configuration and what all are required.Questions which are hovering your mind right now !!! What are the requirements to create a Nutanix cluster with Hyper-V? How can I image the nodes with Hyper-V and install AOS? How can I manage my Hyper-V host? How can I create a failover cluster and update Hyper-V settings? How can I create and manage VMs, especially HA VMs? Do we provide a documentation which can help you answer all these queries? Yes, absolutely Give this following documentation a read to easily get started with Hyper-V.KB-2235Want to know about the configuration of Hyper-V in Nutanix in-depth? Go through this documentation guide to understand how Hyper-V gets configured in a Nutanix environment. Hyper-V configuration
Hi Would like to check if there is any tool which help in Migration from On premise physical workload directly to Nutanix Xi in AWS. Let me know if it is technically feasible to do this. On Premises server → Nutanix Xi in AWS (P-V Migration)
I cant seem to find any info in the manual on how to manage consistency groups assigned to entities?
Can I get official documents / links from nutanix that PCI DSS is compliance with.
Configuring data protection and disaster recovery solution in your Nutanix environment is seamlessly simple and interesting. What if you have configured a remote site and have configured all the settings but still you are not sure regarding the configuration. Have you configured the vstore mapping correctly? Have you configured the network mapping correctly? Is there a check which can help me verify all the remote site configuration? Nutanix Cluster Check provides a check which helps you to verify the mapping configuration of a remote site. Give the following Knowledgebase article a read to know more about the check. KB-3335 Give the following documentation a read regarding best practises of DATA PROTECTION AND DISASTER RECOVERY to understand the configuration and limitations in-depth.DATA PROTECTION AND DISASTER RECOVERY
Inquiring if Possible to create Data Protection Async DR of VM that also backing up by Veeam Availability for Nutanix at the same time or different schedule? Or what if I will use Agent Base Veeam Backup and had Data Protection Async DR? Thanks in Advance.
i`m looking for technical document to configure AHV with Actifio sky. Anyone did that or is it compatible? i found that in 2017 Nutanix announced partnership but can`t find technical info. https://www.actifio.com/nutanix-actifio/#sthash.Jotd7mm3.dpbs
Hi All, i want Plan a strategy as below. is this possible using Nutanix and Azure cloud. replication from Onprem to Cloud (Azure- GOV) Another primary site (Azure ) will replicate to Azure cloud Both primary - ( On-Prem and Azure ) will connect to interconnect.
Let's say you're running a huge infrastructure of 10 pretty big SQL VMs and just shifted your infrastructure to Nutanix. You must be bewildered and confused regarding the best practices of SQL in Nutanix and how can you improve the performance. For most SQL server databases, there is nothing that needs to be done in order to successfully run on Nutanix. SQL servers with small DBs are normal and okay but what about larger workloads?Do we have some best practices guide that can help us improve our performance?Yes, we have some general recommendation for running SQL workloads. Try giving the following Knowledgebase articles a read to understand the configuration and recommended settings to improve performance of SQL workloads.KB-3532KB-1833 Want to know the best practices for different SQL workloads. Try giving the following solution documentations a coffee read. Microsoft SQL Server MySQL on Nutanix PostgreSQL HammerDB on SQL You can try giving the following blog a read which s
I am trying to implement SLB, or LACP, rather than A-B. To do this seems to require using either the manage_ovs show_bridges or list port {br0 | bond0} command. Other then the Command_Ref-AOS and AHV_Admin-Guid, where can more information be found ? I am getting a `ERROR kvm.py:488 failed to execute ....` error.
Does Karbon support a cluster with both Linux and Windows nodes yet? Our application requires microservices running on both Linux and Windows nodes. Can we run this via Karbon yet? Thanks!
Hi All, One of my customer doing POC Nutanix right now. They create VM with application that use for Exam Online. So they set Public IP on that VM where their student can access for Exam from outside. Suddenly for 2 days the VM active, they found on their router that VM consume almost 500 Mbps internet bandwith usage. They already have that application on non-Nutanix server and not find any issue related. Is there any application or service or something on Nutanix platform consume internet bandwith that we don’t know?
Hi !I want to make an image of a windows server on the ABS disk. How can I copy the file to images on CVM to start migrate the Fysical server to Virtual. WinSCP is so slow so it will take 6-7 hours. To write it to ABS iSCSI it is fast but only problem to copy it to AOS. File system is NTFS.thanks!-Kim W-
HiI am new in Nutanix , would you please explain for me the below stats , and what its performance in VMs performance , the cache stats screen i got it while the backup is running ?
In our previous posts, we briefly explored some basics of vdisk management on AHV via Acropolis cli (acli). You can explore further namespaces in acli by logging on to any CVM and entering the acli shell.In some scenarios you may need to move disk from IDE to SCSI bus or vice versa. Sample scenarios including but not limited to:VM does not boot due to missing SCSI driver. In such scenario disk can be converted to IDE to install missing driver and then move back to SCSI. Wrong disk type was used during VM creation. Disk index should be changed due to application requirements.From the AHV Best Practices Guide:Nutanix recommends using SCSI-based disks wherever possible for maximum performance. We can use acli to change a virtual machine configuration, in this case a vm’s disk BUS Type.We would need the following info:Source VM Name or VM UUID Source VM DISK UUID (uuid of the vDisk with the incorrect BUS type) bus=target bus (for e.g. the new BUS type we want this vDisk to use, scsi / ide
