Hi All, Hope you are doing well. I have question regarding the storage usage and space reclaimation in VMWare 6.5 with Nutanix clusters. This question is more into VMware instead of Nutanix, thought of checking here. Just to give a overview we have Nutanix nodes and we have got VMWare 6.x installed on the nodes, a single storage pool and multiple containers. I got a RHEL VM migrated from the old environment and it got 4 disks (10GB, 20 GB, 500GB & 5 GB), all the 4 disks are in the same DS and thin provisioned. No deduplication & compression enabled on those. Now when I access the VMware web console and look for the vmdk files by browsing the files in the DS, I can see a different capacity from the actual usage compared at the server level. When I see the same VM via PRISM and I cannot see the 4 disks assigned to it. It shows only 1 disk with some 160 MB used out of 20 GB and none other than that. Could you please help me to understand why its not showing the disks in the P
When I load the SSR portal through the desktop shortcut, or by browsing to locahost:5000 within a second or two the browser chokes and becomes unresponsive. I thought it may be related to the background animation, does anyone experience this also? Is there a way to disable the animation in the SSR portal page? Mant thanks, Daniel
This is the first of a three-part blog post on deploying monitoring addons with Nutanix Karbon. 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. Karbon was released in Tech-Preview after the launch of AOS 5.9 and Prism Central 5.9 in October 2018. We’ve received several queries from our customers, partners and peers alike who value the simplicity that we bring to the table for Kubernetes, but they find it hard to understand how the cluster is behaving and what is going on under the covers. Enter Prometheus (also known as Prom or P8s). Prometheus is an open-source monitoring tool that was built by a team at SoundCloud and it was inspired by Google’s Borgmon, it was designed from day one for the Kubernetes model of assigning and managing units of work. Prometheus has an expression bro
If you are headed to KubeCon this year, join us at KubeCon Exhibition – Booth# P12. Nutanix is showcasing how its developer focussed products increase the business agility and lower OpEx. This is an exciting year for us. With the introduction of Nutanix Karbon, we are bringing 1-click Kuberenetes on-prem and much more. Please join us for exciting theater sessions and demos! 👉 Learn more about Nutanix Karbon
Note: Nutanix Karbon is on Technical Preview so it should not be used on production. The steps on this guide may impact the existing running containers. This post covers how to patch the recent Kubernetes vulnerability (https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/71411). The version used as an example in this post is Kubernetes version 1.10.3, this is the only version tested but it should work on the same way for any of the other Kubernetes versions available in Karbon. Note: the SSH password is the known standard for Nutanix CVM 1. Gather the IP address for your Kubernetes nodes: code:kubectl get nodes -o yaml | grep address Output: code: addresses: - address: 10.10.56.174 - address: security-e8316c-k8s-master-0 addresses: - address: 10.10.56.150 - address: security-e8316c-k8s-worker-0 2. Connect to the master node and run the commands (change the IP address with yours): code:ssh root@10.10.56.174 code:sed -i 's/hyperkube:v1.10.3/hyperkub
When will GovCloud be supported for Remote Backup?
CSI Driver for Kubernetes was introduced one month ago leverages Nutanix Volumes (formerly known as ABS) to provide scalable and persistent storage for stateful applications. (For more info check this blog post ) With the recent Kubernetes 1.12 some breaking changes were introduced (More details mentioned here # 68688 ), it makes current CSI driver not working.

PROBLEM: When doing VM Migration from XenCenter to AHV, the VM gives a boot disk error at the startup in AHV after migration. DESCRIPTION: VM to Migrate: Windows Server 2012 R2 XenCenter Version: XenCenter version 7.1 64-bit Nutanix HyperVisor: AHV I am trying to do VM migration from XenCenter to Nutanix AHV. I am referring this article (https://portal.nutanix.com/#/page/kbs/details?targetId=kA00e000000kAKJCA2) which seems to be the exact case what I am trying to do here. Every step is going smooth, but I am facing error only when the VM is migrated and when I start the VM it will always go into disk check and boot device not found error. See image: This is happening in both of the following case when I am creating a VM in AHV and mounting the disk image of the VM to be migrated: 1) When the DISKs are mounted as SCSI a. Now, when I am mounting the disks as SCSI which is the normal approach, the VM startup goes into the same error and VM will reboot and goe
Hi,I am trying to move a Windows Server 2012 R2 VM from Xenserver to AHV. With reference to this article: AHV | Migrating a Windows VM from XenServer to AHV everything is working great except when I am at the last step. When I turn on the VM in AHV, I am getting a boot device not found error and windows will not boot up.Windows will start with a windows icon throws the error and restarts, then goes into disk repair, reboots and same error and goes into the troubleshooting menu and when I am restart the VM in AHV it again and always goes into the boot disk inaccessible error.I made sure all the Xen components are already uninstalled from the vm and Nutanix VirtIO drivers are also installed. Tried with loading the image as scsi and IDE, but still going into the same error. Also tried booting up in safe mode, tried disk repair, etc. but no luck.Please help if someone has a solution.PS: I am migrating Windows Server 2012 R2 from XenServer to Nutanix AHV.
What options are available within nutanix to speed up replication to a remote site? The best i am able to get on a single stream is about 20MBps (160mbps) with an aggregate speed of about 60MBps (480mbps) spread out over several streams. However, we have a 10gbps link between sites, so i expected to get better throughput.
Cool GitHub project - Kubernetes installation tools for Nutanix. Give it a try and add your comments in this forum. I'm sure RedDevil would like to hear your feedback. Download here: https://github.com/nutanix/k8s
Hi All, I've just published an article on my blog regarding what I consider the top 5 best practies or tips for successful SQL Server virtualization projects. Thought you might like to check it out: http://longwhiteclouds.com/2017/02/01/best-practices-for-running-sql-server-virtualized/ Kind regards, Michael
If anyone is using HYCU to back up their AHV environment, please let me know your feedback. 1- Is the product good and acceptable solutions to back VM on AHV? 2- How was your restore experience, when you had to recover a VM or file or app data? 3- How is the support? 4- Is their documentation clear and easy to follow on any KB or DIY. Thanks a Bunch
