Hi All, I’ve testing old Nutanix NX box demo with no MA support. The AOS version install is 5.10.6 I tried to create file server using wizard in prism element. In the last step of wizard when I prompt create the error message showing Error creating: Invalid CVM subnet configuration, possibly due to incomplete CVM re-ip workflow I’ve run ncc check and didn’t found subnet mismatch issue. Please kindly advice how to fix this.
I need Nutanix Files licence please tell me the procedure.
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!
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 deploy Files on my cluster and it fails stating the Default Gateway IP is not reachable however I can ping between systems on the desired networks. The only thing I can think of is that the DFW does not respond to ping, is that required?
Hello Team, How we will configure Storage only Block’s? Do we need to follow the same foundation procedure? If that’s the case we will have two CVM’s ( CVM and FSVM). can someone please guide me how NX Storage block will configure?
Hi,Can you please help me with any recommendation and/or point me to any documentation around running Nutanix Files alongside other types of workloads (on ESXi)? I.e. server virtualisation, VDI, other Files instances, sustainability for resource contention, resource reservation, etc.While I do understand that in an extreme case of a dedicated HCI cluster where only FSVM-s are spread across the nodes, Files would surely perform well, I’m after more real-world scenarios, where Files still deliver.Thank you, Victor.
Hi team:We are doing POC for Nutanix Objects. So far function testing has no problems, but we have a question about backup: How to backup objects which is located Nutanix Objects? 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!
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.
I’m standing-up a Nutanix File cluster and want to move an existing WIndows DFS Namespace to the cluster. The namespace needs to remain the same as it is used by web apps. I thought I could simply add the AFS cluster as a Namespace server, replicate the files, and then remove the old namespace servers. However, when I go to add the new namespace server, it wants a local folder location which isn’t available. I was sure I saw that Nutanix Files is compatible with Windows DFS but I don’t know what I’m missing. Suggestions?
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.
Hi,Can you please point me to a document with _detailed_ description of networking requirements for Files for PD recovery to work, as well as _detailed _ description of how the networking is being handled during the failover?The reason I’m asking is that I’m planning PD for Files, and I need to understand the networking side of that, i.e. how Storage and Client networking are being handled during the failover to the other cluster, where the networking is different (different datacentre). Do I pre-configure portgroups to connect to in advance, as well as the IP-s to assign?, and AOS/Files handle this automatically during the failover? Or is this a “wizard”-driven workflow where I specify portgroups and IPs? Or is there a requirement for stretched VLAN-s for both Client and Storage networks? I wasn’t able to find and deatiled information on that, so am askign for your help.Thank you, Victor
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.
I am hoping to migrate files from our Windows server to Nutanix files. For backup purposes, Azure is our off-site location. I’ve hit some stumbling block in trying to accomplish this. This is what I’ve tried so far.Configure CloudConnect - Unfortunately, we subscribe to Azure through a CSP, so I’m unable to get the required certificate to set this up. -Failed Next idea was to sync Nutanix Files with a Windows File server through DFS-R and perform my Azure backups from the Windows mirror. Nutanix doesn’t support DFS-R -Failed Use our current backup solution “Microsoft Data Protection Manager” to backup Nutanix files. But, can’t install the DPM agent on Nutanix. -FailedIf anyone has a suggestion, I’m running out of ideas. Ideally, I’d like to not have to invest into a new backup solution. Thanks all!
Hello Friends, Is it possible to tier a name space based on access time or file size or file type from nutanix files to nutanix object storage seamlessly by leaving stub on nutanix files ?
Why Files Storage container is system managed? What all different purposes this container is used for?
We are looking to setup a Nutanix File Server on our ESX cluster, this file server will be housing 21TB of data. I know that we get 1TB for free, how to enable the licensing for the other 20TB as i believe it is per TB.
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?
Hi, When I try to open the Files console, I can see the following error: Actually I don’t know why the url is 127.0.0.1. I think it stopped working after upgrade Files to v4.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
