5 Essential Tips for Maximizing Your Experience at Nutanix .NEXT for Bloggers
Guessing you need to add the virtio drivers. Mount the iso and use pnputil I think
Yup SATA drivers are native, but virtio SCSI drivers are not.
So this is a forum for the Community Edition release which is only AHV. Now the cvm is shared technology so whatever is causing the issue with the upload is probably universal, but don't you have a support contact? I would check that the satadom isn't full of junk though in case it is just out if space.
Aos is the contents of the cvm. Ahv runs from the satadom.
How big is your cluster? Data is spread on two nodes in a cluster (RF2) on one of the devices in that node. [list] [*]4 nodes can tolerate a whole node w/o impact and any missing accessible copies are re-replicated onto remaining 3 [*]3 nodes can tolerate a node w/o data loss, but as you have only 2 nodes left zookeeper and other quorum systems have a single master elected to avoid split brain. So the cluster is impaired and can't tolerate another node loss as you would lose access to your 2 copies. This happens during an upgrade of a 3 node, but it is temporary and yeah not a place you want to be for long. [*]2 nodes... not really a thing in CE or really in the DFS and would look like a weird raid1 [*]1 node... no additional copies so when that node is gone it is gone [/list] So yes unless you move to RF3 on 5 nodes there is a chance if you lost 2 nodes in a RF2 pool (or just 2 specific block devices if you are really unlucky) you could have a data loss situation. Since C
So technically you could put the file system in an odd state, lose extent access and likely crash the VM. It could happen that Stargate shuts down and tries to protect the data at rest from corruption or incomplete copies. When you went from 4 to 3 all the VMs who were were started on one of the other 3 lack data locality potentially (33% chance their new node had their 2nd extent copy). So once the VMs are "happy" the DF figures out there are numerous extents in the remaining 3 with only one copy so it starts establishing the 2nd copy in the rest. Now if you killed the 3rd node before it was stabilized (aka Prism OK) not only are you breaking the quorum , but you may kill off the only copy of a given extent. Note this could not only be a node outage, but a block device as well on one of the remaining nodes. Example... [list=1] [*]VM is on 4 and has some extent copies on 3 (as well as on 2 and 1). [*]You kill 4 and the VM starts on 2 where it has some local extents, b
So to be clear Stargate will not be happy with a 50% loss of capacity in the cluster and it may bring down the storage interface and limit access for all consumers. Not sure honestly when it shifts into a defensive mode so test well, but just know that on paper a 4 node RF2 cluster can tolerate 1 node w/o issues. Beyond that you are treading onto thin ice and corruption and availability will be very situational. And be aware that it will need to reestablish a quorum when going to that 3rd node and sometimes that has been a bit wonky. Not sure what the goal is here, but just know "here be dragons".
CE doesn't work w ESXi or Hyper-V so not sure your goal there. If you need those hypervisors you will need to go into a commercial product.
You could use [url=https://portal.nutanix.com/#/page/docs/details?targetId=Command-Ref-AOS-v55:acl-acli-vm-auto-r.html]vm.update_boot_device[/url] to change the boot order of a VM if you need. I mean if there is no filesystem of a new VM, but the ISO is attached than not sure why it didn't just work for you.
Cause it is installed in the VM?
Yeah virtio is the paravirt drivers for QEMU much like VMware tools has the paravirt for ESXi. Hypothetically you could use IDE and PCNET on those VMs as "emulated" drivers, but the speed is pretty bad.
