Missing folder after FILES migration

I have encountered a peculiar situation here. I am synchronizing two file shares, and everything appears to have been copied successfully. However, there is one folder that doesn't show up in the target file explorer. I am certain it was copied because I can see it in the log. Additionally, if I attempt to create the same folder in the target location, I receive an error stating that the folder already exists, and it creates a new one with a '(1)' appended at the end. I have ensured that the hidden view is enabled in the file explorer. Any thoughts on what might be causing this issue?

S3 object store over multiple clusters with single namespace

L.s,First time here with a question  (there must be a first time)We want to create a environment with a Splunk/Nutanix combination. The storage for Splunk will be smartstore, so the warm storage is S3 compliant storage, something Nutanix can provide.The question comes from the fact that we will span Splunk acros two site’s. So each site will have a storage cluster and a compute cluster (multiple clusters because more then 3 hops).  Site A has a compute cluster and a storage cluster, site B has the same. The Storage cluster will be synced between eachother.Splunk validated architecture says to have a loadbalancer between the Splunk indexers and the S3 storage. So when the storage in Site B fails.. Site B can use Site A as storage. But also the loadbalancer sends the compute cluster to the nearest storage available.Does Nutanix has something for this loadbalancer question? Can two clusters be adressed  by one ip, ore is it indeed necessary to use a external loadbalancer?Thanks in advance

Nutanix AOS Feature Violation

Hi Team,What if some random people run a feature like Nutanix Object without having a proper license for it, what they just have is only for AOS license.1. will they successfully use it in the cluster? ​​​​​​​2.will that Object feature be affected when the active AOS license expires?3.Nutanix license is perpetual right? so when it expires all features are still working except support from TAC but what about the features that runs illegally, will they be affected once active license that doesnt supports the feature they enabled expires? Thank you so much for clarification.

objects IPAM Network

I would like to ask a question: When we deploy object storage, the IPAM network segment should match the network segment of the cluster, such as the CVM. Is the host IP address in the same network segment?

Mine with Commvault que

Hello guys,Nutanix is offering the Mine product integrated with Commvault, however, I do not see a guide in Nutanix Portal, though I found the following guide in the Commvault website:https://documentation.commvault.com/fujitsu/v11/essential/144801_configuring_commvault_plug_in_for_nutanix_mine.htmlIt describes the steps to install and configure the Mine Plug-in for Commvault. Still, a step-by-step guide procedure is missing to install and configure the entire product (Mine with Commvault). I wonder if someone can help me with that?>Do I install Commserve manually as a VM? In Mine with Veeam, there is a Foundation Mine with Veeam wizard that orchestrates the installation and configuration.>Do I create the S3 Object Store manually?>If I want to externalise the backups on the S3 store to a tape server for example, what about replicating that storage, is that possible?>Is the NUS Pro license the only license I need for this to work? I also have a few Commvault Backup & Rec

Using Mine with existing Veeam Backup & Replication server

Hi everyone!I have an existing Veeam Backup Server running version 9.5 and I wonder if I can use it in the Foundation Mine with Veeam installer or do I have to upgrade to 10? (As far as I know there’s no documentation on Mine compatibility with Veeam Backup & Replication versions).Also, I have a perpetual socket licence for the Veeam Server I use actually. Will they work?Thank you in advance,

Delivering a Multi-Tenant Object Storage Service

In this video - which walks through setting up Objects for multi-tenancy/self service - you’ll see how s3 users in different departments, organizations, or domains can have a single Nutanix object store divided up between them for efficient and secure resource sharing. The video covers such features as multi directory integration for IAM, multi-FQDN, quotas, objects browser (self-service portal) and bucket tagging…. and in true software-defined fashion we're continuing to add features that make Objects ever more optimized for multi-tenancy.

How to delete a file on Nutanix AFS share?

Good evening, Following problem:I do have a single folder sitting on one of my shares, and I tried literally everything to get it deleted.When trying to delete, or move to a different share, I only get the error “An unexpected network error occured”, so, not very helpful on that front.I was able to change said folders owner (logged into CVM via ssh → logged into FSVM) via afs share.get_authorization_info <share> <folder>However, this didn't help.To make a long story short: Is there a way to delete a folder within a share on a FSVM directly?Thanks in advance!

NX-8235N-G8-CM - Initial Configuration

Hello,We recently purchased 2 x NX-8235N-G8-CM (total of 4 nodes), which will be explicitly used as storage servers.I am having some trouble performing the initial configuration and wondering if I could get some support as I am stuck. This would be my first time setting up a Nutanix device and not sure where to begin.I did try to use the Nutanix Foundation, but no luck while trying to follow what was done here: I do have few questions regarding Foundation though.What I did:Plug in the new devices’s IPMI/data port to a dummy switch (IPMI/HOST IP will be on same subnet) Plug in my laptop with a prod IP address (i.e. 10.8.1.0.24) to switch Launch Nutanix Foundation for Windows Follow what was done in the above videos with my IP addressesNote: I am not running any DHCP nor did I set any static IP for IPMI/AHV/CVM. I read that AHV is already installed for devices sold in the US; however, not sure if the CVM is already installed though. The setup process does ask for manual entries for IPMI/

Nutanix Files Report

I have what, I think, should be a simple request, but for the life of me I’m struggling with it.  My boss would like a list of all file shares in Nutanix Files with a count of files inside those shares.  I cannot seem to find a way to report on this via Files Dashboard or Analytics.  A simple .csv export would be fine.  If I drill down into an individual share, I can see the data I need, but I am not really keen on doing that for approximately 100 shares.

File Share audit trails

I have a customer currently deploying Nutanix Files and they are looking to use File Analytics in place of their current audit tool, Lepide.They are happy with the file-level audit trails in FA, but have asked if the same audit trails are available for Shares - e.g. Is there a log anywhere of who created a specific Share, who last modified it, or who deleted it?  I can’t find an answer to this in the documentation, and if I create a share in the Files Demo all I get is an “Event” in the Files console which doesn’t tell me who did it.
