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,

Nutanix Protection Domain + SRM vs vSphere Replication + SRM

Hello Community,I want to configure replication and failover plans between 2 separate Nutanix clusters, both running ESXi hypervisor.I do have Vmware SRM licenses and I am aware of these 2 possibilities :1. Replicate VMs using Nutanix Protection Domains (either with Async DR or with Metro Availability) and configure Failover scenarios with SRM via Nutanix SRA2. Replicate VMs using VMware vSphere Replication Appliance and configure Failover scenario with SRMMy question is which of the possibility would you recommend ? which is better in terms of performance and flexibility ?Thanks.

Prism runs the api etc.. on port 9440 rewrite 443 to this?

Hi.We are having no end of trouble with our backup software (druva) it basically keeps trying to talk on port 443 not 9440. Is there a way on a Prism element to be able to do some sort of rewrite so any traffic coming into the server incorrectly on port 443 can get rewritten to go to 9440 instead?

Beginner's guide to testing DRaaS - where can I find?

I’m looking for a starting guide to testing failover to our Xi cluster. I believe that it is all configured and ready to go, but I’ve been tasked to write a procedure guide for a planned failover test during an outage window.Our on-prem cluster: AOS 6.5.2, PC pc.2022.6.0.1,.Hypervisor 20220304 build-342 Our Xi / DRaaS cluster is located in XI-US-EAST-1C, and has a few always-on servers. We are replicating a number of on-prem servers to it, on a one-hour, 4-hour, 1-day, and 1 week RPO basis, depending on device criticality. Some are defined as application consistent, some are not.We have about 70 protected entities.I am able to log into my local Prism Central and Prism Element, and I can get to SSH sessions on the CVMs and PC if need be. I am able to log into my.nutanix.com and see the configuration there, the AZs, and etc. Please let me know if some additional information about my cluster would help.What I need is a guide to failing over for testing, and recovering to the on-prem
