RPC error kTransportError raised

Hello, I am at the latest and greatest of PC (2022.04.0.1) and trying to run a new capacity planning scenario, I am met with the immediate error: RPC error kTransportError raised I have restarted PC, manually restarted some services, etc. and I am unable to get past it to actually create a new scenario so I was curious if this is a known issue or if anyone has hit it before. There is one old thread that talks about upgrading PC to resolve it, but I am at the latest currently. Any thoughts welcomed. Thanks!

If Prism Central Failed Will It Stop The Replication

Sorry if I am asking a silly question. I would like to ask if I configured protection policy from Prism Central. I assume even PC is failed the replication should perform as is just that it would be appreciated if anyone could share some thoughts or documentation to support that.

Affinity Policies Help

In the recent version of Prism Central, I am no longer able to configure per-VM affinity rules. I now have to create global affinity policies based on categories. I can see how this is helpful, but it also add a lot of complexity for basic affinity situations like this:I have two VMs dns1 and dns2 and a four host cluster. The two dns servers should never live on the same host. Super easy to do the old way. But how do you do it this way? Would I create a category called `DNS` with `primary` and `secondary` as values? Then create one policy for primary that has host1 and host2 and create another for secondary with host3 and host4?What about a three-vm cluster? How would you ensure they balance onto separate hosts?

I am new to this companies Nutanix system and we’re getting “Server is not reachable” from the Prisim login screen.I’m getting information overload trying to find where to start diagnosing this issue. Hoping someone can point me in a direction of what to try first. I am remote so I cannot interact with the system directly.

Have a cloned VM inherit the assigned categories

We have a subset of VMs that a group of users needs readonly and console access. This is not difficult with RBAC using categories. However, when we clone these systems for testing or new deployment, the assigned categories don’t get inherited from the source VM. Since we do this often, this is a management headache.Is this standard behavior? If so, any ideas on how to do this easily? I was hoping projects might be helpful, but I can’t find much useful documentation or examples to guide me.

Windows Server domain join not possible when on different hosts

Hello, I stumbled upon a very weird problem and I am not able to sort it out myself.I have a pretty fresh Cluster running AHV which is for our Lab.I installed a Server 2022 DC - all fine. I installed a second one - all good.I created the Active Directory on the first one, edited IP-Settings on both machines including DNS and everything and tried to join the other Server as a second Domain Controller. That is where I got stuck. It wasn’t able to join the Domain. On the Error Page it said it was able to find the Domain but wether A-Records are not correct or the Server is noch reachable.Ping and nslookup works just fine though. I tried a day testing everything that was coming to my mind and after some while I tried to eliminate as much factors as possible. So I migrated both Servers to the same Node to eliminate networking issues - and this does the trick. When I want to domain join another Server from another Node it does not work anymore, as soon as it is on the same, it does.I then tr

RX/TX dropped packets graph "missing" from Prism Element | Analysis for AHV hosts

Hello,On ESXi based Hypervisors in a Nutanix cluster, in AOS 5.20.2.1 Prism Element | Analysis has a Metric Chart that can be created for a host:Virtual NIC bytes received rateVirtual NIC bytes transmitted rateVirtual NIC bytes dropped transmitted packetsVirtual NIC bytes received packets dropped Any chance it can be added as a metric chart for hosts running AHV? (perhaps I’m missing something...)I do see it in the Networking Visualization - (just the mini-charts when a host / interface is highlighted). We do have network visualization configured and working.
