Nutanix Cloud Manager

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

How can I download Snapshot files from Prism or via SSH?I’m trying to follow this tutorial Nutanix Files - Deleting internal snapshots (SSR and CFT snapshots (as to find out where the snapshots are) but I’m encountering an error when I try to run the command “afs info.nvmips” I’m receiving “Failed to get FileServerVms”. Can you please help?

I already following nutanix from youtube and KB but didn’t find any Take a Snapshot menu.Does the take a snapshot have different method now ?  

I am passing this payload to to filter a VM. It works if the VM name is an exact match (case sensitive).  How Do I make the following filter case insensitive ?payload = {"kind":"vm", "filter": "vm_name=={0}".format(vmName)} I tried different combination’s, but none worked. Thanks in Advance Yezdi

Hello, masters of NutanixCould you help a beginner in trouble? I took an internal snapshot to prepare for a problem moving nodes from an existing cluster to another cluster The previous one was done well, and the snapshot was about 1.8gb, but I found that even though I deleted the snapshot, I still had about 1tb of capacity leftI got a response that the curation will work and the capacity will be back in 36 hoursBut the capacity remains the sameWhich part should I check? I'd appreciate it if you could give me a command or a solutionThe customer is dissatisfied with the capacity of 1tb and wants to resolve it Help me, please. Customer is using AOS 5.20.3.5 / ESXI 7.0 u2a / NX-3060-G4  Pic1 - Capacity before increasing nodes Pic2 - Capacity after node is

Hello, good afternoon, We are doing space scrubbing, saw a VM and scrubbed approx. 4Tb, more than 48 hours have passed and in prism it continues to reflect space.Does anyone know what is happening, we saw that the Curator has been executed successfully. 

PRISM is installed as appliance however, the is OS layer within it. Do we need to introduce any security software for OS layer or Nutanix itself has any security functions?During the audit they were pointed out by auditor if it is okay to do nothing for PRISM appliance in terms of security.

Hi,In the prism UI, we have an option to check the resilient capacity of the cluster (the amount of logical storage that can be used, beyond which the cluster will lose self-healing capability). I would like to know, if we have an option to get the same value via any nCLI command or API.Thanks,Arun

 Hi,  I found ‘recovery_plan_jobs’  subject from rest api explorer. There is a ‘POST’ action look like allow us to ‘cleanup’ and ‘rerun’ the job. But when I’m trying to using ‘rerun’ action there was an error.   Thank youWira curl -X 'POST' \ 'https://10.38.187.39:9440/api/nutanix/v3/recovery_plan_jobs/cf7c7951-cd22-43bb-93a4-578060a7d143/rerun' \ -H 'accept: application/json' \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -H 'X-Nutanix-Client-Type: ui' \ -d '{ "should_continue_rerun_on_validation_failure": true, "rerun_recovery_plan_job_uuid": "cf7c7951-cd22-43bb-93a4-578060a7d143"}'"message": "Given input is invalid.

Yo! I’m trying to figure out how the filter works on Prism Central V3 REST API.In this scenario, I’m trying to filtering on VM UUID, but can’t find the right argument for this.I tried this, and it doesn't work..filter = "vm_uuid==9b174662-66a1-4f9a-8cc9-788ab242ffa1" I know I can filtering on VM Name, but not useable in my case.. Best Regards,Daniel Orelius

Hello,Is there a reason that this post is not available for me?https://next.nutanix.com/how-it-works-22/rest-api-for-creating-vm-from-image-services-not-working-21921It is linked to from here: https://next.nutanix.com/prism-for-infra-and-it-ops-26/create-vm-via-one-of-catalog-items-created-earlier-using-rest-api-39243?postid=56689#post56689 Thanks in advance and kind regards,Jan Pieter Kunst

Hi, I follow this guide https://github.com/pipoe2h/calmworkshop/blob/master/calm_win/calm_win.rst to create a Windows multi-VM Blueprint, but when i run application it get an error. Can everyone tell me what exactly it is?Thank for your helps 

Hello,  I am at the latest and greatest of PC (2022.04.0.1) and trying to run a new capacity planning scenario, I am met with the immediate error: RPC error kTransportError raised I have restarted PC, manually restarted some services, etc. and I am unable to get past it to actually create a new scenario so I was curious if this is a known issue or if anyone has hit it before. There is one old thread that talks about upgrading PC to resolve it, but I am at the latest currently. Any thoughts welcomed. Thanks!

my NX nodes having eth0 & eth1 is 10 Gig /  eth2 & eth3 is 1 Gig.we have created new bridge br1 with eth2,eth3 uplinks and created new vlan (vlan 17 ) in br1 for DMZ traffic.command used -: acli net.create VLAN-DMZ vswitch_name=br1 vlan=17current scenario is default br0 is in under vs0. Query -: Do I need to make a vs1 (vSwitch1) for br1? 

Hi all,I’m running a single node cluster, and while I was poking around the settings I went into the Rack Configuration page and set the fault tolerance level to node.Of course with it being a single node cluster the dashboard now shows warnings that the cluster can’t self-heal from a node failure.I’m not able to find an option to change the desired fault domain back down to disk, I can’t find any commands that do anything other than get what it is currently.Obviously my particular desire to lower the fault tolerance domain below node isn’t something that’s an intended use for this software; but is there really no way to change these settings configuration outside of prism?

I have installed cluster with 2 blocks (3 nodes each) and assigning IPs to them, I used a switch without vlans, when I created vlans and connect my switch to firewall, I was unable to open the prism in the browser (chrome, firefox), but I can reach the cvm and I can SSH it through putty.

Note 1: After the force cleanup process is followed, all PC-PE registration information will be lost. Any configuration of the PE (Prism Element) cluster within Prism Central will also be lost permanently and cannot be recovered.Note 2: Before unregistering the cluster from Prism Central, any Nutanix Disaster Recovery (Leap) configuration for the cluster being unregistered should be removed from Prism Central. Refer to KB 12749 for more details.What is the impact of VM in the process of removing PC from PE?Will the CVM service be interrupted?Thank you

Hi, I have a trouble to enable Nutanix Calm when I try to deploy it, I checked NCC and everything run well but in Calm the Precheck failed: “ PC to 0005e2ce-d78a-2724-0000-00000000e308 host cluster health check is not OK. Please check if cluster is accessible from PC ”.My Prism Central version is 5.20.4.5 LTS - Starter License

As an example, I have a set of users, all of which need full view access (no console).  However, a subset of those users need console access to a subset of VMs.  I”m not sure how this might be implemented.  We are running 5.20.2.01.  I’m not quite sure how to implement.

Sorry if I am asking a silly question. I would like to ask if I configured protection policy from Prism Central. I assume even PC is failed the replication should perform as is just that it would be appreciated if anyone could share some thoughts or documentation to support that.

Is there any kind of integration between Calm and VMware NSX-T? I would like to understand if there is the possibility to “completely automate” deployment of VMs (integration with vsphere) and network services.

In the recent version of Prism Central, I am no longer able to configure per-VM affinity rules.  I now have to create global affinity policies based on categories.  I can see how this is helpful, but it also add a lot of complexity for basic affinity situations like this:I have two VMs dns1 and dns2 and a four host cluster.  The two dns servers should never live on the same host.  Super easy to do the old way.  But how do you do it this way?  Would I create a category called `DNS` with `primary` and `secondary` as values?  Then create one policy for primary that has host1 and host2 and create another for secondary with host3 and host4?What about a three-vm cluster?  How would you ensure they balance onto separate hosts?

Hi@AnishWalia20 ,As per previous query, there was no update for clone permission,But now , on current version of PC 2021.9.0.2 , clone permission is there for ad user, but my query here is to clone  other user’s vm or admin  created vm. This task i am executing via REST API V3 as per previous query.There is project A(having multiple users) with allow collaboration option, in which ,As a user-A,I am able to clone a vm created by user-B ,But cloned vm owner property is same as User-B.I want to change owner property also while cloning vm via api.After cloning, vm should be owned by user-A.Please let mr know if there is some method to do so.

Hi all!I’m writing a runbook with tasks that needs to use different endpoints from different Nutanix Projects. This seems to be impossible, so I want to check in with the community to see if I’m doing something wrong. :)I can create an endpoint without “assigning” it to a specific project, but this doesn’t matter since I have to define a project when creating a runbook. This means that I can only use endpoints that are assigned to the project the runbook is using.An endpoint can only be assigned to one project so assigning an endpoint to multiple projects is not an option.One possible (as well as very clunky and cumbersome) workaround would be to create identical endpoints for every project that needs access to it, but all endpoints must be uniquely named which makes this even more of a nightmare.Is what I want to do at all possible?Thanks.
