Hi everyone, i have a trouble with this error: the alert also sent a notification about this error: Discovered that the nucalm internal service is not working: “helios” I restarted all cluster service but there is no change. Then i checked my nutanix docker to log infomations about that, it showed helios still was running. And i follow KB-8621 to collect log of helios.log.1 with the same time in alert, it showed:So anyone can tell me what is the problem with my Calm service? I so appreciate to receive your helps.

I turned on a trial of calm in my cluster, but never really did anything with it.  I’ve searched and searched but I’ve been unsuccessful in finding how to disable it. Can someone point me in the right direction?Thanks!

HiNutanix 6.6.2.5Installing Prism Central (1-Click Internet)When I deploy PC, then there is an option, as either:Small Large X-LargeWhen I selected small. Then I get 1.VM with “6 vCPUs, 26 GB of memory, and 500 GiB of storage.”I deploy it. And after there is an option to “Scale out PC”. I can scale out to 3-VM, so I get 3x “6 vCPUs, 26 GB of memory, and 500 GiB of storage.” But my question is, can I scale out from Small to Large as well ?And also from Small to X-Large..?Or I need drop my PC to achieve that..? I am new to nutanix. And I would like to know, which is the best approach for later on, when there is a need to expand.Also, as I have read, the Flow Virtual Networking requires “Advanced Networking”, which needs X-Large deployments.We might need that option later on. So I want to know, should I need to create X-Large deployment now, or can I change it later on. Thanks. RegardsRaul

Hi,I would like to know if there is any command to get the resilient capacity of a cluster, from nCLI/API. The resilient capacity is usually seen in the prism element → storage summary ->view details. Please help, also let me know if any alternative method, to get the resilient capacity for the cluster.Thanks,Arun

Hello, I am trying to create a vm that will use UEFI and Secure boot with the new powershell cmdlets. With the version 1 cmdlets this was not possible. Does anyone know if this is possible with V2 or are we still required to use the API along with the powershell cmdlets?

I find that I am stuck between a rock and a hard place all of a sudden. I have been using the original Nutanix PowerShell cmdlets (Add-PSSnapin NutanixCmdletsPSSnapin) for weekly inventory scripts.  I also have a script for deploying new VMs from images that use these cmdlets. Our production Prism Central is pc.2022.6.0.3 and I can still login to that just fine (Connect-NTNXCluster).  However, we are having numerous issues with that build and support has advised they have been resolved in the newest build pc.2023.1.0.1. We have a test Prism Central instance with one test AHV cluster.  Yesterday we updated that to pc.2023.1.0.1 and now I cannot connect with the cmdlets. Scripts> Connect-NTNXCluster -Server $PCentral -Username $MyCreds.Username -Password $MyCreds.Password -AcceptInvalidSSLCerts -ForcedConnectionConnect-NTNXCluster : Invalid JSON primitive: Authentication.At line:1 char:1+ Connect-NTNXCluster -Server $PCentral -Username $MyCreds.Username -Pa ...+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hi AllCurrently a new version has been released for prism that is pc.2022.9 . In which, it has been mentioned that Microservice infrastructure would be enabled by default and it is mandatory as well for this version .Can anyone confirm that enable of microservice infrastructure requires separate license as in my current infra i dnt have Microservice infrastructure enabled and i dnt require it also .[I am using ESXi as a hypervisor] .Also, is there any way old version of Prism[PC.2022.6.0.1] can be update to this pc.2022.9 version without having Microservice infrastructure enabled ?

I’m trying to secure webhook communication. I’m using PRISM Element. My callback server uses https and has a web-server certificate installed issued by a local CA. First question is, which CA certificate will PRISM use to validate the callback server certificate? Is it the same CA certificate used for the PRISM web server? Second question, how does the callback server verify that the webhook effectively originated from PRISM? Is this mutual TLS or is there another method? If mutual authentication, what certificate does PRISM use for this?

When I want to do inventory in LCM using PC, the error showed as shown below:  Anyone know how to fix it?

When building Packer images the temporary images don’t delete after completion.  This is working on other clusters, but this specific one we get an error: Having same exact issue as this: https://next.nutanix.com/ncm-intelligent-operations-formerly-prism-pro-ultimate-26/cannot-delete-image-error-app-blueprint-template-39267, but the links don’t provide any insight in how to fix.Versions AOS 6.5.1.6 Calm 3.6.0 PC pc.2022.6.0.1    

I'm curious, what is the maximum number of Playbooks that can be supported by Prism Central?And how many actions we can add in one playbook?

Elevate Your Reports With GroupingWith Nutanix Cloud Manager you can create your own custom reports with either custom or pre-defined views. (To learn more about reporting basics, check out this video)In the video below, I show how you can use the grouping functionality to group all your views by a specific entity using the custom group view. After watching the video, keep reading to learn more about different ways to use grouping!There are two ways to group entities: Custom Group View Group Data within a Custom View You can use the custom group view either by selecting all the existing views and clicking on Create Group, or adding a group using the custom Group view and adding views to that group.There is also the ability to group data within a custom view itself. For example, if you wanted to create a line chart to display VM memory usage, you can group by cluster within this view under Advanced Settings.So what’s the difference?When grouping data within a view, you will see a sepa

Hi, I would like to ask if anyone has configured NGINX as a reverse proxy for IAM/Providers page.

Hello,Prism Central documentation supports OpenLDAP 2.4 release running on CentOS distributions only.Question ....I take it that Red Hat LDAP is not supported in Prism Central, correct?Can I only use OpenLDAP 2.4 with CentOS and cannot use OpenLDAP 2.5.13 (LTS) with CentOS?In Prism Self Service (Calm) documentation I find reference to Active Directory.Question ...In Calm can I work with OpenLDAP or only with Microsoft Active Directory?In a cluster with Prism Central + Prism Self Service (Calm) do I have to implement Microsoft Active Director only?

Implemented the Calm v2.0 API, have to retrieve the usage_stats(used and free space) of the virtual machine’s disks by using calm v2.0 API. Haven’t found usage_stats in the response for the API api/nutanix/v2.0//virtual_disks/{uuid}. Is there any other way to get these stats by using calm v2 or v1 but not v3.

Hello, I stumbled upon a very weird problem and I am not able to sort it out myself.I have a pretty fresh Cluster running AHV which is for our Lab.I installed a Server 2022 DC - all fine. I installed a second one - all good.I created the Active Directory on the first one, edited IP-Settings on both machines including DNS and everything and tried to join the other Server as a second Domain Controller. That is where I got stuck. It wasn’t able to join the Domain. On the Error Page it said it was able to find the Domain but wether A-Records are not correct or the Server is noch reachable.Ping and nslookup works just fine though. I tried a day testing everything that was coming to my mind and after some while I tried to eliminate as much factors as possible. So I migrated both Servers to the same Node to eliminate networking issues - and this does the trick. When I want to domain join another Server from another Node it does not work anymore, as soon as it is on the same, it does.I then tr
