Problem with kernel 6.1.0-25-amd64 with Nutanix

Hello.I detected a problem using the latest kernel 6.1.0.-25-amd64 with all my VMs under Nutanix. I recently upgraded all my Debian servers from version 12.6 to 12.7: in version 12.6 the linux kernel in use was 6.1.0-23-amd64 and in version 12.7 is 6.1.0-25-amd64. The issue is related with the download speed using this kernel in all my upgraded VM’s. It’s extremely slow. So after 2 days trying to figure out what was happening (installing debian 12.7 in a new VM same problem....installing in VirtualBox no problem at all), so I decided to rollback to the old kernel, maintaining the Debian version 12.7 (with kernel 6.1.0-23-amd64) and the problem stopped. I’m using the following system, see picture:  Here are some speed tests: Debian version 12.6:wget https://proof.ovh.net/files/100Mb.dat--2024-09-05 01:26:12-- https://proof.ovh.net/files/100Mb.datResolviendo proof.ovh.net (proof.ovh.net)... 141.95.207.211, 2001:41d0:242:d300::Conectando con proof.ovh.net (proof.ovh.net)[141.95.207.211]:4

Nutanix supports an Prism Central upgrade path from current version N to target N+2 in most cases.

Hi there We are running pc.2023.4.0.2 and because we would like to upgrade to AOS 6.8.1, we need to first upgrade the Prism Central to pc.2024.x. However, upgrading from pc.2023.4.0.2 to any pc.2024.x at the moment, it’s not supported. As of today, the latest PC Version is 2024.1.0.2. I do understand the upgrade N to N+2, but when it comes to PC, i don’t know what N+2 means relative to pc.2023.4.0.2.Considering that AOS 6.5 is going EOM in Oct 2024, we are a little afraid that we’ll not be able to upgrade our AOS’es 6.5.x to AOS 6.8 in time, because PC 2024.x is a prerequisite for AOS 6.8. What to expect here, and how to proceed? Best regards,Casian

Is there a webinar on VM creation with Rest API or Postman?

I'm looking for information about VM creation with REST API or Postman, and so far I can't find anything “good”, I find it strange because Nutanix always have very good information, but in this case I can't find much, neither videos, I know there is no Test Drive. But they should have some videos on this important topic.

Cohesity Backup

Hello All,We have a Nutanix POC and I am playing around with the permissions. I am trying to create a role/category for our Cohesity backup. What entities are needed for the role. I assume cluster and VMs, but I am getting “Requested entity doesn’t exist” when trying to add the Nutanix source to Cohesity. It works fine when I add the source with a Prism Admin account. Can anyone point me to the proper permissions needed. TIA TJ

No compatible versions for deployment - Prism Central

From prism Central Element, I am trying to deploy Prism Central. When I go for create new Prism central through Prism Central Element GUI, it did not list out available versions. Instead, it just shows “No compactible versions for Deployment”. Following is what I have. I am using nutanix hardware.Version 6.8.1 - COMMUNITY LicenseNCC Version: 5.0.1LCM Version: 3.0.1.1 Not sure, how I can deploy prism central If I do not have binary. If I uncheck the option “Only show compatible versions”, it lists out following public version.pc.2023.4.0.2pc.2022.6.0.10pc.2022.6.0.11pc.2022.6.0.12 In that case, I had deployed pc.2023.4.0.2 but i never able to get GUI. I suspect the compatibility issue.Any help would be appreciated.

Azure Entra ID Authenticaiton with NC2 VM running Oracle 8.9

Our company is just starting on on our Nutanix journey, we are currently deployed in NC2 and have setup Oracle 8.9 VMs on AHV.  We have setup the Entra ID integration to the Nutanix Console, but we were looking to setup user authentication to log in to the local Oracle Linux 8.9 servers, but have not been able to find a runbook on how to do this if it is possible.  Can you integrate Azure Entra ID with a AHV VM that is running on NC2? The bare metal is running in EastUS.  Any assistance or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Azure Site Recovery

Has anyone completed an integration using Azure Site Recovery to protect a Nutanix VM and performed a test failure to Azure with a successful failback to on-prem?  I have seen a couple of blogs on treating the Nutanix VM as physical, etc.  Just wondering if this is being used to success out here in the wild and any knowledge you may have gained.  Thank you kindly.

Initial Configuration: AHV passwords (root, admin, nutanix)

Hi all,I just setup a new AHV environment and was wondering if it still needed to change the passwords for the users:adminnutanix...on AHV!https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=AHV-Admin-Guide-v6_8:app-ahv-access-initial-config-t.htmlThe reason for asking is, that they do not seems to be the default passwords (tried to login with them  - did not work: nutanix/4u) - and also the standard alarm that informs that you need to change these disappeared just after I changed the root password!Has something changed in ver. 6.7 / 6.8 ?

Replication

Hello, I am seeking your assistance with enabling replication on my cluster, which consists of 5 servers and 60 VMs. I am undecided between Metro mode and Asynchronous mode on Prism Central. Given that I have two clusters using Metro-type replication, we encounter difficulties when Metro mode is activated, as clients experience significant slowdowns on their VMs. This is why I am considering enabling Asynchronous replication on Prism Central. My question is: if I activate Asynchronous replication on Prism Central while other clusters are using Metro mode, will this have any impact? Thank you for your help.

Nutanix Disaster Recovery Options and Witness Configuration

Hi Team,We are considering deploying a Nutanix cluster environment to meet best practices while addressing our current demands. We plan to set up Site A as the production cluster and Site B as the disaster recovery cluster.Nutanix Disaster Recovery Solutions offer two options: Protection Domain-Based and Prism Central-Based, along with different replication modes such as Sync, NearSync, and Async.If we choose the Protection Domain-Based solution, for Sync (Metro Availability) we plan to deploy one cluster at each site (A and B), a VM witness in a VMware environment at Site C (which will be registered with Prism Element at each site), and a Prism Central at either Site A or Site B. The built-in continuous backup will protect Prism Central, and it will manage the Prism Elements of each site.If we opt for the Prism Central-Based solution, which offers more advanced features like protection policies and recovery plans, I understand that the witness is a service integrated with Prism Centra

Migrating Data from Old VM to USB Drive

Hello,We have an old VM that is in our Nutanix cluster. It is running an old version of Windows server, and our Cyber department does not want it connected to the network. There has been a request to retrieve historic data from the server.  Is there a way to boot the server with the network disconnected and use a USB drive connected to the Nutanix host to export the data? If there is no way to do that what other possibilities will work? Can the virtual disk from the old server be mounted on a new network connected VM? Thanks
