You need to use vmware converter for this. And before you convert the machine install vmware tools in it. Make sure that if source vm is bios or uefi that the target vm is the same.
With metro availability you can get an rpo of zero. So failover wil be instant. more info over rpo/rto and the methods here: https://www.nutanix.com/blog/nutanix-dr-multi-site-recoveryAnd: https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/solutions/details?targetId=TN-2027-Data-Protection-and-Disaster-Recovery:top-metro-availability.html
You have to implement Data Protection. More info on the specific modes: https://next.nutanix.com/backup-and-recovery-29/async-nearsync-or-metro-which-one-is-the-best-38009
Welcome everyone. I'm proud to be on the list. Now lets meet ;)
On the prism element main dashboard click on “Data Resiliency Status” and you can see what is causing this.
What I would do is prepare the machine manually (install the tools via the provided scripts in move). Then shutdown the machine and migrate with move.

Look For one of the ip adresses of the cvm’s. Then open a browser and browse to http://<cvm ip>:9440 and you are on prism element. Login credentials I cant provide ;).
HI @Cantoris,Cant you create a volume group and attach it to the needed machines?
@bpr-admin which version of Nutanix Move are you using? I've seen isues in the past with this which where resolved in later versions on Move.
Hi @Driftek, Best practices is to attach the nutanix nodes in a leaf/spine method. Attach each node to two leafs. Make sure that cvm's and host's (hypervisors) are in the same, unrouted, subnet/vlan. You can add trunks to the nodes to separate virtual machines in different vlans.

OKe a bit more side information. It looks like the foundation machine can talk to your IPMI as you can see on this screenshot: But your foundation machines never received the talk back from phoenix that it is booted. What I normally do during this stage is open an extra console session to the node to see the actual status. Probably it is booted into phoenix but can't talk to foundation. And this has to do with your firewall on the foundation machine.
First things first, disable the firewall on the machine where foundation is running.
How to analyze the ram and cpu occupation of a virtual machine on NUTANIX over a period. If you open the vm performance tab in prism element you can hover over a graph and select “add chart to analysis page” from there you can change the time period.
The easiest method is to run foundation and follow the wizard. But here are the answers for your questions:https://next.nutanix.com/installation-configuration-23/how-to-change-controller-vm-and-host-ip-address-38504 The cvm running on the host is always accessible via ssh nutanix@192.168.5.254 cluster --dns_servers=192.168.2.8,192.168.2.9 --ntp_servers=0.nl.pool.ntp.org,1.nl.pool.ntp.org,2.nl.pool.ntp.org,3.nl.pool.ntp.org --redundancy_factor=2 -s 192.168.2.71,192.68,2,72,192.168.2.73 --cluster_name=Cluster-Nutanix --cluster_external_ip=192.168.2.76 create Run this from a cvm and change to ips to match your configuration.
Hi Chaitrali, will do thanks.
Oke fixxed it. I re-foundationedthe test cluster and tried to re-ip and re-vlan the cluster. The thing is that the script: external_ip_reconfigure has a wait time of 180 seconds in it. Total runtime of the script (with my demo environment) was 8 minutes.So when the script is running you can get the status by start another ssh session to the cvm and cat /home/nutanix/data/logs/ip_reconfig.logWould be nice if that specific script gives more output when it is running ;)
