The Choc-Chip of Data Access: Proven Path vs. Chasing Consistency for Prism Central's ‘Objects Lite’ Service

My grandmother used to make the best chocolate chip cookies, her recipe was unbeatable! I’d love to leave the story there, but one not-so-fine day she thought she’d try a different recipe, just to mix things up. What was she thinking! The new cookies tasted nowhere near as good as her original recipe. Ok, she could’ve spent hours upon hours in the kitchen refining the new recipe, experimenting with ingredients and so on, but what would be the point? She already had a tried-and-tested recipe for choc chip cookies that everyone loves, chocoholic visitors knew exactly what they were getting… so, why change? Fortunately in the end she saw it that way too - the new recipe was ditched and the original one was back in the oven, much to everyone’s delight. So why am I talking about chocolate chip cookies? Well, because a similar scenario arose here at Nutanix not so long ago, but this time the subject wasn’t cookies, but APIs for storage access. Tasty.At Nutanix we’ve spent a lot of time and e

Nutanix object storage replication

I have been recently exploring the solution around syncing the nutanix object storage with AWS s3 bucket and GCS bucket. I have gone through the object replication to move data from onprem to cloud  Move On-Prem Data to the Cloud with Ease | Tech Bytes | Nutanix University which is pretty straight forward and impressive. My usecase is if I update the content in AWS s3 bucket or GCS bucket will that be replicated on nutanix object storage as well?

Hello,How can I check the recycle bin in Nutanix v5?I’m facing a space issue with the default container. When I delete a VM, the available space in the container doesn’t seem to change.Regarding the snapshot files, I have snapshots that I can’t delete located in the path /default-container-/.snapshot.

Nested Share

I’m attempting to create a nested share and I’m receiving the following error “Failed to 'create' mount target due to an internal error 'Share path is invalid'.” The fileshare share is already created. I have attached an image of the settings I am attempting to use. I created a “test” share just to recreate the error. Am I doing something wrong?

Migrate FSVM file server cluster from old Nutanix to new cluster

I need to migrate a FSVM file server cluster from my older Nutanix cluster to a new cluster. It sounds like there are several options for migrating my file shares that I have listed below. Have you done any of the options below and what would you recommend? 1) Protection domains (Entire FSVM cluster, moves IPs)2) Smart DR (Per Share, moves IPs and updates DNS)3) MOVE > (Per Share, new DNS, and manually update file share configs)  4) Something else? Any insights or experience would be appreciated. Thank you!

Integrate Nutanix with Veritas netbackup via different VLAN (Network Segmentation)

We have a cluster with 3 nodes, we have configured multiple bridges for different networks, we isolated the NTNX cluster management traffic on specific VLAN and the Backplane traffic on another VLAN as well, we have a backup network with two different dedicated links on a different VLAN.This backup network which the Veritas NetBackup software is in, and as far as I know it supports Nutniax clusters backup via a plugin, the backup host in our setup is on a different VLAN on a different bridge, so it's isolated from Nutanix cluster management and cluster VIP.What is the best way to get the backup solution working with the mentioned setup, is there a way to expose the Nutanix API and allow access for that VLAN on dedicated bridge via different IP? or we have to configure network segmentation for KVolumns service? and if so, what the recommended way to route the traffic between the CVMs and the backup network bridge?Thanks

Why does the Files Console prompt for credentials in demo.nutanix.com?

Tried getting there from “Files” link in main demo.nutanix.com portal, or from the “Files Console” link underneath Files.  This doesn’t affect Files Analytics or Data Lens, except any links that take you to the Files Console will prompt.The admin creds provided don't work.

About Consolidated Storage Services license

Hello folks,There is a requirement to configure Oracle RAC in a Nutanix environment.The hypervisor will be used with AHV, and license it plan to use is NCI Starter.It appears to be possible to implement this by using the Nutanix Volumes functionality to reference the Shared Disk as an iSCS target to the internal Guest OS.In the past, there was no cost for internal use with Nutanix Volumes, but now with the new license format, will an additional NUS license be required? Or is a separate NUS license not required for internal use?https://www.nutanix.com/products/cloud-platform/software-optionsFrom this link, it looks like that's not necessary.. Thank you

No more CVM after disk remove

Hello team,Always in learning Nutanix that’s totally new for me, I performed some tests today. One of those was to remove a disk to check if system will still be up. And… no :)All the CVM is crashed because it don’t find the removed disk.I have a Nutanix CE with a single node cluster. Is Nutanix storage pool not working as a RAID (1 or 5?) by default? Is there something to configure? Coming from VMWare, I make the comparison. On my ESXi I can lost one disk as I’m protected by the RAID-5 of the Raid-controller. Should I also use a RAID-5 for Nutanix? I read that disk must be in RAID-0 and Nutanix will protect it. How protect my single node cluster from a single disk failure?I certainly misunderstand or misconfigure something. Thanks for you help ! PS: The disk I removed was not one of those declared for the CVM during the installation, it’s a “Data” disk.

Did Nutanix API authentication use NTLM v1?

Dears: Currently, I found a problem when using Prometheus to monitor Nutanix Objects according to https://prism IP:9440/oss/api/nutanix/metrics. This works fine for a long time.But when our AD team disable NTLM v1 in domain controller, problem happened, Prometheus could not work as before to get the data from API.Current Prometheus config is like below:- job_name: 'object_exporter_bucketname’   metrics_path: /oss/api/nutanix/metrics/[object store name]/[bucket name]  scheme: https   scrape_interval: 90s   static_configs:   - targets: ［https://Prism Central IP:9440］   tls_config:      insecure_skip_verify: true   basic_auth:      username: ［Prism Central service account］      password: ［Password of service account］  Anyone know if NTLM v1 is used during API authentication?

Indexed search for SMB share?

Hi, I have seen a previous topic on this subject and noticed JeroenTielen said you need to add the share to the index of the windows machine to have it indexed on that specific machine.  but how can you do such a thing when i see in Microsoft forum:Windows does not support indexing network shares. You may still search them, but this is done in real-time without indexing, so may be quite slow. what can i do to make searching in Nutanix shares faster?

I don’t know if there are 3rd backup software supports to backup objects in Nutanix Objects. We now use IBM TSM and EMC Networker for on-premises backup for VMDK, file and DB. Thanks!

external storage connectivity

Hi Team, I am new to Nutanix and I am learning the product. Like VMware supports adding external storage systems via iSCSI / FC and we can create datastore. Nutanix does not support external storage connection via iSCSI or FC, am I right? The only option is add local disks on the AHV server… Is there any roadmap when the external storage connectivity will be allowed?

Nutanix Files REST API to get a list of events

We need REST API to get a list of all deleted files events in the last day per example. We need like this information you can see in UI. What API is used for this? In doc i see something about pulling and events notification, but we just want to query an API from time to time to get the list of events like in the ui, not using push notifications of events.
