Deploying NDB solely on a VMware infrastructure without an accompanying Nutanix cluster is not supported?

Is it possible using the API to restore a backup from Hycu?   We are looking set up a job that can restore a database backup to another SQL instance using the API and a backup in Hycu

Hello,Nutanix NX-1175S-G8 I need to add 64GB memory to my device, do you know a compatible part number?I currently have 32GB memory with part number m393a4k40eb3-cwebyThank you,

Hey,I have some older Nutanix hardware: the NX-1465-G5. It’s currently running an outdated version of AOS. I’m looking to reinstall the appliance with version 6.10. Is the G5 model compatible with AOS 6.10? Is there compatibility for my equipment?Thanks!

I didn’t get any answers to this question the last time I posted it and the forum marked the question read-only for some reason so I’ll repost it in case anybody has any insights to share:My organization is going to be embarking on a NDB implementation in the coming months and I’m while I’m familiar with the terms “greenfield” and “brownfield” (databases provisioned in NDB vs registered in NDB), I’m trying to get my head around what the key differences between these two approaches are. Do I lose out on anything major in a brownfield database?Assuming that you start with an existing database, what does the process for registering it brownfield-style look like vs provisioning it greenfield-style? Thanks!

Can someone help me to understand the purpose of “include-management-server-info” parameter in the Get cluster API call?I dont see any diff in the output when used this.

By seeing this people may get scared. After some time, it gets updated as below.  

My organization is going to be embarking on an NDB implementation this year and due to our existing clustering technology, our SQL Server infrastructure relies heavily on non-default instance names for our machines (i.e.  hostname\instancename).  If we’re able to preserve this on databases that bring across to NDB, it will save us a great deal of time/effort in reconfiguring existing applications.  Is this something that we’re likely to be able to achieve in NDB?  Put differently, I’m hoping that we’ll be able to preserve existing host and instance names.

I am sure NDB team might be working on changing ERA to NDB entries. I am just sharing by observation here, just incase if it helps the team . We have few places where we still use ERA.    

Era Agent in one of my cluster have a red indicator and showing ERA_DAEMON_UNREACHABLE message, how do I restart the daemon?

Can we limit this in UI, if the minimum requirement is 20 GB? Currently we accept the value and allow to create a DB and then the task fails. Its better to add the checks with the limitations

I have created an Oracle single instance in NDB module. However backup is not working because of failed snapshots. Snapshot operation always fails in Unquiesce database step. A little bit more from logs:Devices file sys_wwid t10.NUTANIX_NFS_2_0_11075_d7c7770b_7488_4d5c_82c8_52b080e12e3e PVID none last seen on /dev/sdd not found.The machine is running on Oracle Linux 9 and the database version is 19.3C. Any suggestions?

I tried to delegate the refresh of a clone database to my USER (not SUPER-ADMIN). I created a role with [Refresh Clone] privilege and i configured [Entity Sharing Policies] on the object [Clone / TM] that user can manage. The user launch the refresh of the clone database but the operation rollback at step [Registering Clone Database].In the log, i have this error message :"message": "Failed to register the clone database. Details: '\\'{\"errorCode\":\"ERA-ENT-0000001\",\"Reason\":\"The entity (Id:xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx, type:ERA_DATABASE_NODE) is not registered with the ERA Server \",\"remedy\":\"Specify a ERA_DATABASE_NODE that is registered with ERA Server\",\"message\":\"The entity (Id:xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx, type:ERA_DATABASE_NODE) is not registered with the ERA Server \",\"stackTrace\":[],\"suppressedExceptions\":[]}\\''",I can’t find anywhere what is a DATABASE_NODE and how i give the privilege to my user to registe

I have a Nutanix-era setup in place with 1 SQL server currently hosting 3 differents databases. It has worked smoothly for one year now. The last week i realized under state that i got a message saying “Delete_From_cluster” on all the 3 databases. The odd thing is that they’re all functioning as expected. I tried to find something online about that kind of issue but I didn’t find anything. Is it something you guys experienced in the past?
