Memory Utilization Widget - Bad Math

On the cluster home page, the memory usage box shows that we’re using 51.71% of the Cluster Memory (2.21TiB). The only thing running on this cluster right now are the CVMs which have just been bumped to 24GB each for dedup. In actuality when we drill down, we’re using 5.79% on each of the ESX...

Disabling a NIC in Prism

Solved

I would love to see the ability to disable a NIC card in Prism when running AHV. VMware has this feature, and I find it incredibly useful when you want to bring up a server that you don't want on the network just yet. AFAIK the closest thing that AHV has to this is deleting the NIC adapter and th...

Easy to delete a VM

Solved

Dear Nutanix, When we are trying to manage VMs in AHV under the PRISM platform, we just realised that it is easy to accidentally click on the delete VM button and the VM could be gone just with one single confirmation pop-up page, even the VM is still at power-on state. I know we could protect t...

Nutanix-MIB counters

Question

I have noticed that some NUTANIX-MIB objects are with the wrong types, i.e.: NUTANIX-MIB::clusterTotalStorageCapacity.0 = Counter64: 62481273278784 NUTANIX-MIB::clusterUsedStorageCapacity.0 = Counter64: 10539613843456 NUTANIX-MIB::clusterIops.0 = Counter64: 896 NUTANIX-MIB::clusterLatency.0 = Count...

It would be nice to have an omnigraffle stencil (https://www.graffletopia.com/) available so I can include nice images of Nutanix rel...

Feature Request: Default domain for Prism Login

Would be nice to be able to set a default domain for the Prism Element/Central login screen to use, that way admins/users have the option to just enter their username, instead of having to use username@domain.com. Thanks! Michael B.

Include Controller VMs Tag

Sorry if the subject sucks. Currently within Prism under "VM-Table" view, you can check/uncheck to hide the CVM being displayed. Would it be possible to also add whatever special tag you devloped to hide them to also be added to Prism Central and AFS servers? The reasoning would be the same as w...

REQ: Ability to shutdown AHV cluster and hypervisor hosts from from Acropolis

I'm sure this has been asked for before but I couldnt see it in the search so here it is (again?) I'd like to see the ability to gracefully stop and power down each of the physical nodes in the cluster from within Acropolis. Even have the ability to configure if this feature is available in the...

Add VM to Project

Wouldn't it be nice to add an existing vm directly into a project and not only assign it to a single user / Owner. so this vms could be added to a project and then managed by all project users?

2 node cluster - low cost robo

Bring the cost down by allowing the 2 nodes to direct connect w/10g. This would eliminate the added cost of a 10g network infrastructure for small/robo sites.

Skip Help Simulation

Would it be possible to get a skip option on the help page? I don't need to go through the simulation every time I build a new cluster. Thanks!

Feature Request: Read-Only Dashboards with static URL

Hi, Lovely product, and with all these metrics just available inside PRISM is fantastic. An occouring question I hear from customers is the possibility to have the dashboards visible on big-screens, as example for the NOC, and also being able to perhaps integrate these into SharePoint or the like?...

Why is LCM feature NOT simple?

Solved

One click upgrade feature of Nutanix is probably the best liked feature by admins. You upload the required file on PRISM console and ONE CLICK... But with Life Cycle Management, its either of below - 1) Connect to internet which many organizations frown up regardless of the security or purpose. Nu...

Multi-Datacenter Cluster Awareness

I would like to propose multi-site and/or multi-datacenter single cluster awareness, so we can put half of our nodes in one site and half in another site and tolerate a site failure without bringing down the cluster.

Enhance AFS with NFS and SMB access protocols. And on the same datas

Hi all, Just to suggest to enhance your embedded NAS service with NFS and SMB 2 or 3 support. And build it in order to allow to access to the same data from both protocols, like a NetApp Appliance. Use Windows or Linux ACLs to control access. Thanks

Remote Support account

It would be great to have an option when enabling "Remote Support" on a cluster to enter a user and password for a support tech to use during the time remote support is enabled. I found out they would need our local CVM password since the default password has been changed. I do not want to give out...

SAML and/or 2-Factor Authentication Support

Solved

Hi, We've implemented Microsoft's MFA Authentication via LDAP in our Nutanix environment with mixed results. To become truly enterprise ready though we need a better solution. SAML would be ideal - but a 2-Factor solution would be sufficient. I'm not sure if this is on the Roadmap but you might wa...

OpenStack compatible API

Industry-wise, DevOps tools seem to be rapidly approaching a a common baseline of expectations: they are all releasing with AWS, Azure, and OpenStack API integration from the start. After that they all say they are modular, but for the most part the core team waits for someone else to create a plug...

Prism - Network Search Filter

Hi, I was wondering if you had any plans to introduce a network search filter in the VM creation process. We have over 100 networks to select from, the ordering in the drop-down doesn't work well either (even with a good naming convention), so finding a VLAN is pretty painfull at times. Thanks,...

Alert Hardware from ILO when reset to green

I'd like to suggest that when the alert of hardware parts changes from red or yellow to green (in the ILO console), PRISM must send an email about the current status, and not only the critical alert. In this way I can manage the alert without the activation of my h24 support team.

Hi Community, First I would like to share my best wishes for 2017. I'm sure this will be a great vintage for Nutanix I already told this story to the designer but, let me share my ideas publicly. When creating a VM it would be great to have extra fields like OS and status (Production, test,...
