Nutanix Unified Storage

I have replication configured from one Nutanix object bucket to another Nutanix object bucket and it is always stuck at 3. As data is added to the source bucket I can see it replicates, but the 3 objects never seem to clear. This leads to RTO and RPO warnings daily. Is there a resolution to this? 

Good Morning ColleaguesI hope you are doing well . One of our customers has Nutanix Files as you can see in the below image. May i know if Nutanix Files has integration with Kaspersky as third-party antivirus software?   Best Regards

I have to move VM from another infrastructure  (VMWARE) to nutanix  (also VMWARE).Is possible to mount on the source the Nutanix storage via NFS to move the VM Files? I need to have the max speed. Thanks

Hello,Before doing a massive change on a share, I would like to manually create an SSR snapshot to rollback if needed.I searched in Files documentation, in this forum, in AFS CLI. Nothing relevant. Someone has an idea how to do this ?Thanks 

Tried to deploy File Analytics VM about a month ago on my community edition cluster, it has been stuck since then at the ‘Create File Analytics VM’ task and the whole task is at 40% in Prism Element. I have ran an ‘ecli task.list’ but there are no tasks listed as kRunning or Kfailed for this deployment.

Hello Team,One of our customer have a requirement to use a different subnet for Nutanix Volume iSCSI IP address than the CVM IP subnet range. This is because he wants the iSCSI volume traffic not to flow via his firewall. So he intent to use IP subnet for iSCSI Volume same as the VM (iSCSI Initiator) range. Going by the documentation https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Volumes-Guide:vol-volumes-external-ip-address-c.html, it states: “This IP address should be in the same subnet as the cluster Controller VM IP eth0 network interface addresses”Is this a mandatory requirement? Thank you in advance!

Hello,I’m creating a File server via PrismCentral https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Files-Manager-v5_1:fil-fm-file-server-manage-c.htmlLimitationsFile servers created with the Files Manager do not support the following features:Prism-Element-based disaster recovery (DR), including clone and remote site activation Network segmentation Multi-VLAN It’s clearly written that network segmentation is not supported, but during wizard (and as explained below in the same web page) you can specify a client network and a storage network in different VLANs.What is not exactly supported about network segmentation ?In my cluster, I configured network segmentation with a dedicated network for “Volumes” (iSCSI) traffic. Can I use this network as “storage network” during File server wizard ? Is this supported ?Thanks for your feedback 

I am in the process of copying/moving about 20TB of data from Azure Blob to a Nutanix object bucket and the copy job stops at exactly 2000 files every time I try to start or resume the job. Is there a limit somewhere on the bucket or within the system I am not aware of? 

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

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.

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?  

Hello Team. Is there a way to check the ip list of clients mounted with nfs in fileshare through the ncli or afs command? Thank you.

I am getting Alert A160143: Warning: File Server Replication Job is stuck/idle,Warning: DR dataset replication job 8 has been idle for 2 hours. Out of the 20+ shares, four shares have replication jobs stuck, three at 0% and one at 90%.Any idea how to stop/restart a file server replication job?(Case# 01799860)

Hi Team,  Customer is asking for rest API user credentials for using the v4 API to get the info of disk utilization of file shares. Can you please let me know what to share FOR THE BELOW SCRIPT in the rest API user credentials. And how to create the rest API user.  #Files REST API user and file server$user = "REST_USER"   $password = "PASSWORD"$PCIP = "PC_IP_ADDRESS" Thanks, Suchismita

Hi I wrote a dutch blog about the possiblity to migratie files to Nutanix Files using MOVEhttps://marcotubben.wixsite.com/marcosblog/post/files-migratie-met-move Happy reading !

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!

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

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.

Has anyone set this up? I am having issues with Connectivity test from Storware/Nutanix Files I think that its URL related but the errors are very undescriptive 

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

I have nutanix on premisesHave anyone configure nutanix objets as netbackup s3 repository for storing backups?Trying to configure and always fails withcredential validation failed. provide correct cloud account name and credential

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. 

Why can't I add a new folder？

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?
