Can Unplanned Failover Be Executed Without a Witness in Prism Central-Based DR Setup?

Hello Community, I'm exploring options for executing an Unplanned Failover in a Prism Central-based Disaster Recovery setup and would appreciate some insights. Our environment consists of two sites, each configured with its own Prism Central instance in an AZ-to-AZ architecture. Is it possible to successfully perform an Unplanned Failover without a Witness in this setup? If anyone has experience or best practices to share for handling failovers under these conditions, I’d be grateful for your advice! Thanks in advance!

Is there a way to access Recycle Bin to restore deleted VMs without contacting support

I accidentally deleted a few good VMs while cleaning up after migration from VMware to Nutanix, couldn’t find a straightforward way to restore them from recycle Bin just Like on a normal Computer, So the easiest way to was to re-migrate the VMs needed.If only i could just go to cluster recycle bin and do the restoration would save a lot of time!!

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

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.

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

metro availability and vmware

Is there a requirement to have ESX enterprise plus licenses in an nutanix metro availability with manual failover/startup in case of issues in 1 cluster?or will vmware standard licenses do? I don’t see the need for Ent+ licenses but had different feedback in the field. thanks!

Alternatives to AWS for Async DR

I’m currently backing up to AWS with AWS set up as Async DR site.  However, the price that AWS is charging has dramatically gone up.  Are there any alternatives to AWS?  I don’t need to run any VMs on the remote site, just a remote site to store my snap shots and the ability to restore easily. Thanks!

Magneto is in recovery mode after PC DR

Hi all,I received the following error when I tried to create a protection policy with sync replication for one vm from two clusters managed from the same PC, “Failed to apply protection policy 'PP_sync' on the VM 'CentOS7-DEV' because 'Magneto is in recovery mode after PC DR'”. Some time ago I restored the PC but I didn't find any error before now, also NCC didn't report any issue.Regards

vTPM Backup

Hi all,What’s the latest on vTPM backup?  We have Windows 10 development VMs hosted in Nutanix and backed up by HYCU.  However, Windows 10 support is ending and as I understand it, Windows 11 cannot be backed up from Nutanix due to the inability to backup a vTPM.Is there any way of hosting a vTPM-required OS on Nutanix and having a backup of it?  It doesn’t seem like an unreasonable requirement?Thanks,Ian.

Any ideas about CG when support near sync replication?

Dears:I checked the “Nutanix Disaster Recovery Guide” and found from AOS 6.6, CG replication was supported on async replication, but not on nearsync or sync replication. Any ideas about CG when support near sync replication?The reason why I will have this question is we want to use CG nearsync replication to protect SQL server cluster. (Our RPO is about 10-15 mins), so I am worried about during planned failover or unplanned failover, the SQL server cluster could not start normally. Thank you very much!

How many Prism Central Needed for PRD & DR?

Dears: Currently, we have 3 node cluster in PRD site. Now we plan to build the DR ability to build a multiple node cluster in DR site. We have one PC instance in PRD site now. My question is: In order to use protection policy to replicate PRD data to DR site(We plan to use nearSync), do we need to create a new PC instance in DR site?It seems one PC could manage multiple PEs, so one PC instance is enough. But what’s the function for DR site PC? Is it a mechanism to sync data from PRD PC to DR PC?

Questions on backup

Hi All,We are using a backup tool on some Nutanix clusters and after some testing, it turns out backup does not work very well. So I consider alternatives and explore the full backup capacities with the protection domains. Is it possible to do granular backup (restore file), can we run pre/post scripts?Also Can we backup non-Nutanix clusters (VMware) with PD?Thanks in advance for your answersRegards,
