5 Essential Tips for Maximizing Your Experience at Nutanix .NEXT for Bloggers
Is the OVA created from an UEFI or BIOS system? Try to figure that out and then create a VM with the same structure. Some extra brain farts: Is this community edition or production? Are the VirtIO drivers in the OVA? Have you spoken to the team who created the OVA and ask them to inject Virtio? Better is to use Nutanix Move to get the vm running on the AHV cluster and the create template from it.
Have a USB Stick with the installer on it. You machine must have 1 SSD (For CVM) and 1 SSD/HDD (for Data) and 1 "disk” for AHV (this can also be a USB drive, but you dont want that). Install CE and chose the correct disks for their purpose.
Do you mean in a Community Installation? If so, yes. You can also install AHV (The HyperVisor) on a different bootdisk.
Yesterday I published a blogpost about this: https://www.jeroentielen.nl/repurpose-old-nutanix-hardware/
Ok. You are running an emulator in a virtual machine. To do this you have to enable cpu passthrough. SSH into the CVM of the nutanix node and type: acli vm.update <VM_Name> cpu_passthrough=true
Hi, those are not errors but information boxes. ;) Check the “never show this again” and they will not be shown again.
The official bits can only be installed on hardware which is on the HCL. If you want to test on a regular dell server then you need to download and install nutanix community edition. You can find the info here: https://next.nutanix.com/discussion-forum-14/download-community-edition-38417
Oke someone probably changed the password. What you can do is ssh into the pcvm with the nutanix account and change the admin password from there: pcvm$ ncli user reset-password user-name="admin" password="Enter_New_Password"
Ahh so with webbrowser management you don't mean Prism? But some other application? Create a new virtual switch in Prism Element (Settings → Network Configuration → Virtual Switch → + Create VS). Make sure you add the unused interface (eth2 in your case) to the virtual switch and complete the wizard. When the new virtual switch is created attach a network to it: (Settings → Network Configuration → Subnets → + Create Subnet). Make sure you choose the new virtual switch and vlan attached to it. Update: If you mean extra ip address on different interfaces only for Prism then that is not possible. You can, however, separate backplane traffic (intra cluster traffic) on different interfaces though.
Well the default, for Prism Central, is:Username: admin Password: Nutanix/4u (yes with capital N). Have you tried this? Because the message is pretty clear ;)
There is an cluster check which will kick in if the cpu usage is to high. Then you can act on it. More info here: https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/kbs/details?targetId=kA03200000004zxCAAController VM (CVM) CPU utilization for last 60 mins: 95 - 97 % = WARN | last 30 mins: 98 - 100 % = FAILSo 65-75% is acceptable.
Can you explain a bit more what you want?
For CE you need a minimum of 2 disk and a usb stick. (Or 3 disks). Disks:AHV Boot. This can be an usb stick as well. CVM. Data. in your case, make sure the disks are accessible not via raid. and make sure there is, at least, 1 ssd.
You need to do ik in prism element. Dont forget to release the license first before removing the node from the cluster.
You need to contact support for this.
Run the lcm node recovery script. ssh into a working cvm and type: python /home/nutanix/cluster/bin/lcm/lcm_node_recovery.py <cvm ip failed node>
I did some testing in the lab and you are right. In Prism Element this is not shown but in Prism Central this information is shown.
But is also saying: less than 40 GB for hybrid nodes above 32 TB HDD tier capacity😉
So you have hybrid nodes with 32GB ram on the CVM’s? This message shows you have to upgrade the ram on the cvm’s to 40GB. This because not doing this can have increased latency on the virtual machines. All can be read here: https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/kbs/details?targetId=kA00e0000009C67CAE
Are you 100% sure that MLBPRISMTST1.cs.myharris.net is pointing to the prism central ip? Here I screendump from me connecting to my pc:
The nutanix guest tools are generated when you select “mount nutanix guest tools” in Prism Element. You can also use prism central to largely install the tools to multiple machines. But things will change in the future: https://www.nutanix.com/blog/more-options-and-less-complexity-with-nutanix-guest-tools-newest-features
Looks like your storage container is full.
Is it possible to download Move without a support contract? purely for POC on community edition. If you work for a partner you can also download it. Or contact your local Nutanix SE.
First try to find the folder which is having the large data in it: du -a /usr/local/nutanix | sort -n -r | head -n 5Then see if that data van safely be removed. but as this is no production environment (as support is expired) you can also delete prism central and reinstall it ;)
