Storage Efficiency, Data Reduction, and Performance with Compression

Nutanix Tech Marketing Engineer Andy Daniel wrote up a short paragraph recently as an overview to the Storage efficiency features including compression. Share what you are doing for your different workloads in your environments (Nutanix or otherwise). -- To optimize storage capacity and accelerate application performance, the Acropolis Distributed Storage Fabric uses data efficiency techniques such as deduplication, compression, and erasure coding. They are intelligent & adaptive, and in most cases, require little or no fine-tuning. In fact, two levels of post-process compression are enabled in conjunction with cold data classification by default on new shipping clusters. Because they’re entirely software driven, it also means existing customers can take advantage of new capabilities and enhancements by upgrading AOS. DSF provides both inline and post-process compression to maximize capacity. Many times, customers incorrectly associate compression with reduced performance, but this

ESXi 6.5u1 Upgrade on AOS 5.1.1.3

I have recently upgraded my vCenter from 6.0 -> 6.5u1, and I'm not looking to upgrade my ESXi 6.0u3 installs to 6.5u1. My first attempt was to use one-click hypervisor upgrade, and I was able to uploading the ISO and MD5 checksum, but the pre-upgrade check errors out pretty quickly with a fairly generic error message saying "unable to determine version of bundle." Did a few re-download and re-upload attempts to verify my file integrity but the error persisted. I then tried to do the upgrade old-school style using VUM which is conveniently baked into my VCSA as of 6.5, and I got another generic error message inside of update manager, "The upgrade contains the following set of conflicting VIBs:" with nothing but blank space following the colon. Typically I would have expected to see an individual VIB called out in list form, but there is just nothing there. I am fully patched to current using Nutanix LCM, so I suspect it is probably one of the LSI HBA updates that LCM has slipped in

Teradata in Nutanix (esxi hypervisors)

We wanted to look at deploying teradata on to our vmware / nutanix environment. Does anyone have expereince with this? I'm hearing that Teradata does nto support nfs for datastores when virtualized, but the way nutanix handles disks negates a lot of the typical nfs problems. Are there any best practices to follow for teradata, and has anyone had experience with this?

Unable to add VM's to Protection Domain

Hello, New to Nutanix. I'm trying to add VM's to a protection domain via the webconsole, but some VM's I want to add aren't showing up. What's interesting is on the VM sumary page in Prism shows I have 66 VM's, but vCenter shows 81. Is there an easy explanation for this? I am on Esx 5.5 and AOS 4.5.2 Thanks!

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. https://portal.nutanix.com/#/page/kbs/details?targetId=kA032000000TTGWCA4 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.

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: https://serverfault.com/questions/843346/windows-2016-rras-installation-initialization-hangs 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?
