Nutanix Unified Storage

we are unable to configure Nutanix file server backup from veeam, actually we are not able to ping FSVM IP from Veeam backup server and currently no block in ports/VLAN.we are able to ping Nutanix file storage IP but not FSVM IP.any advise or suggestion.

I have a program that is requiring us to use a “local disk” for a storage path and throws an error if I try to use a mapped drive such as “S” … this program is published on (2) Windows Server VMs My thinking to resolve this is - Create a new ISCSI Volume in the Nutanix, Then grant access to BOTH of the Windows VMs via ISCSI so that drive shows up as a local ISCSI device on both of the servers. My Question for you is, does Nutanix support me connecting 2 machines at the same time to the same ISCSI Volume?   Thank You

Is there a way to generate a report in File Analytics v3.2.0 based on a specific file name - for example ‘java.exe’?I’m only seeing the option to filter on ‘file extension’ and that would obviously generate more than I want. 

I’m looking for a way to a report on all of our file shares in Nutanix Files that shows spaced used.Similarly, it would be nice to see a report on users home drives (one level below the file share directory) based on space consumed. 

Please help me to find the best solution for syncing files from one NFS server in Nutanix files to another one in different location.The speed between them is 1 gbps.Which Nutanix native tool is possible to help me with this task?

Why Nutanix Data Lens does not support cloned file server?

Im trying to find the IP address of a Share in nutanix files ( i know i would be one of our 3 nodes) im having issues with some copiers and scanners scanning to SMB with the host name of the file server so ill be mapping them by IP on the copiers 

Is Nutanix file analytics exclusively for Nutanix files on Nutanix storage (or) it can provide insight into any file server such SMB or NFS shares from storage like Netapp?

Hello.After upgrading AOS and AHV (upgraded from AOS 5.10.1 to 6.5.3.5), I attempted to upgrade from Files 3.20 to 4.2.1.1.The first attempt to upgrade the File Server out of a total of four File Servers failed.After the VM update and VM NIC update, the VM change power state experienced a long time of Hang, and after 30 minutes the "File server upgrade task Hung for too long" alert was generated.An hour later, the "File Server upgrade task stuck" alert was generated and the File Server task stopped at 44%.I tried to force restarting that server and restarting all file servers, but it was not resolved.After restarting all file servers, the afs command was also unavailable on the CVM.The cluster status of the file server that attempted the upgrade is currently in the DOWN state.The Minerva service does not start and does not start the cluster.The shares of the files are serviced by NFS, the connection is normal, and the dat

Hi,We are looking to take an application which is currently running in AWS using S3 storage and deploy it on-prem on Nutanix.So I'm looking at Nutanix Objects, not because we need massive scale or throughput (a few TB and a few operations per sec), but simply so we get an S3 interface so don't need any application changes.However high availability is important, the service needs to stay up through VM crashes, node failures, upgrades etc.I can't seem to find any advice on sizing or much specifics about HA in the docs.Going through the create object store wizard, if I select 2 worker nodes I get only one load balancer which is presumably a single point of failure, when you get to 3 worker nodes you get 2 x LBs. So would I be correct that 3 x workers & 2 x LBs is the minimum HA setup? This wants a total of 104GB & 34 cores which feels massively excessive for a small deploy.Any advice is appreciated.Thanks,Tim 

from cli whats the command to see which Nutatnix files VM owns a share? i’ve done this before and i cant remember what the command was we’ve had issues with copiers not being able to scan when we use the host name but it works fine with the IP 

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?

I am a Linux Admin, trying to understand if nutanix smb share can be mounted from REDHAT Enterprise Linux 8 Client.Appreciate if someone can please advise.If Linux client can be used for Nutanix smb share, any steps will be really helpful. 

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 e

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.

In File Analytics, is there a view where we can see a list of users and the files that they have deleted? Many thanks!

I am trying to automate the process of Files failover/failback using REST API. I did test through Prism  Central GUI.  Looked into PC REST API explorer, but I am not finding a URL to make an API call. I am at file 4.2 version. Any ideas ?

Hi There For all Dutchies around I wrote a blog about Nutanix builtin Share Migration toolhttps://marcotubben.wixsite.com/marcosblog/post/nutanix-share-migration Happy reading!

How do I fix the Object configuration when redeploying the PC。AOS 6.5.2. ahv20220304.342 object 3.6 mps controller  4.2.2The Object client can be accessed to Buckets. How do I restore the object configuration information on the newly deployed PC

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?

Hello, I’m new Nutanix administrator, and I want to know how to create top-level directories ( distributed ) in command line , not using mmc + snap-in ?Sorry , I think that this topic was already covered by old post . Thanks in advance 

I need assistance in resolving a problem with File Analytics, which indicates that my memory has exceeded 90%. I update the VM and add 8 GB after it displays the critical error "One or more File Analytics VM components have failed." I did a power reboot, but nothing changed. Please assist.
