5 Essential Tips for Maximizing Your Experience at Nutanix .NEXT for Bloggers
As you have unused interfaces you first need to remove these interfaces from virtual switch (vs0). Then you can create a new virtual switch with the unused interfaces. After that, create a network so you can assign that network to virtual machines. (Dont foget to connect te interfaces to the correct vlans, switch ports etc) In prism element go to settings —> network configuration—> virtual switch (here you can change the current virtual switch and create a new one)
I dont think people will share that information.

A picture says more then a thousand words ;)
Hi Yusuf, if you install CE on a machine you can run collector against it te create your own file.
Finish the onboarding and then the page will be shown (or click the link again after onboarding)
What are your vm specs? And the cvm specs? And what are the specs of the host self?
Did you first typed afs?
About the IPMI it is best practice to keep IPMI on the dedicated IPMI port. Management traffic is for the administrator/third party services/api to get access to the cluster. Backplane LAN is for intra-cluster traffic. So for CVM's to CVM's (AHV to other CVM in case of CVM down). What I explained on my first post will only configure backplane LAN separation. Management traffic will not be possible on the backplane LAN. To be honest, if you separate intra-cluster traffic (backplane LAN on different virtual switch with his own uplink ports) you can leave management as is. As this requires low network bandwidth and I assume you already have this on a separate vlan/subnet. Note: Don’t use the 1Gbps ports if they are available.
Your question raised some questions with me ;) What do you mean exactly with "Management Traffic". Is this Prism/SSH?? Or do you mean cluster backend traffic? (Intra cluster traffic). For the backend traffic: Create a new virtual switch with the unused interfaces (minimum 10Gbps)Then go to: Internal Interfaces → Configure and follow the steps.

Send an email to partnerhelp@nutanix.com and ask if they can enable dell hardware for your account. (Assuming you are Nutanix partner)
Try to create the clusters in sizer.nutanix.com to get the list with supported hardware. Involve you local Nutanix sales enigeer for help.
Thank you!! This info is definitely helpful and different than the information I was finding. The only thing I’m not seeing in the guide is what to do about the IPMI port settings in the bios. I got this hardware from work and I know enough from my boss to confuse myself on bios setting and network setup within the bios lol. Since they are nx nodes the bios should be setup correctly as that is how the boxes are shipped from the factory.
Hi Bobby, just follow the normal CE installation guide: https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Nutanix-Community-Edition-Getting-Started-v2_0:top-installing-ce-t.html
Ahh yes that is the linux version (sorry for my wrong “naming”). I dont know if 6.5 is working on that specific hardware as that hardware type is not on the compatibility list anymore :(.
I've seen issues with old hardware and the portable foundation before. What you can try is the linux foundation vm. That had worked for me. (no guarantee 😉)
Check. Please follow the upgrade path descibed here (fill in you own versions): https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/upgrade-pathsIf nothing helps please involve Nutanix support with this.
yes, only concern is even though we have multiple consistency group it will create one snapshot it will contain all the vms and cg is it normal or not Yes correct. (But you can still restore individual vm's if needed ;))
You mean in Prism Element in Data Protection and then select the protection domain? Like this: On the screenshot you will see 1 protection domain named “CG”. It has 1 local snapshot with id 749827. In the protection domain I have 2 virtual machines (they are in a consistency group). Yes you will see only 1 local snapshot. Although there are multiple consistency groups and/or multiple vm's in the proction domain. Under the hood there are, offcourse, snapshots per vm. If you click on restore behind id 749827 you can choose to restore individual vm's or multiple (which isnt possible if it was 1 big snapshot ;)): Does this makes sense?
I'm sorry. But I really dont get the question. (sorry for that). What is the exact issue? If you have 3 CG in 1 Protection Domain. The snapshots for each CG will be at the same time.
So you are already running:AHV 20220304.478 AOS 6.5.5.1During which upgrade you are getting the error? During Prism Central upgrade or during AHV upgrade? And which version of Prism Central are you running?
Yes. But offcourse the “one snapshot” is per machine. It is not 1 snapshot which include all the machines in the consistency group. You will see 1 snapshot in the data protection dashboard.But if you click on restore you can choose individual virtual machines (or multiple/all).
You don't need to create consistency groups, it is not mandatory. It is to group virtual machines which depend on each other (for example webservers and databases). If you create a protection domain then select the vm's and add then. The consistency group is not mandatory in the step. If you do want to create a consistency group keep them as small as possible. And then, when a snapshot is trigger manually/scheduled, each machine will get a snapshot at the same time.
Looks like you first need to upgrade AHV to minimum 20230302.63Can you share your current versions of all components?
