5 Essential Tips for Maximizing Your Experience at Nutanix .NEXT for Bloggers
Hi When you connect the ISO for your CD-ROM, you will see 'Plugin' button to plug-in CD-ROM. Please click on the same after you have attached the ISO. Now reboot the server and you should be able to see the CDROM in the BIOS boot order. Hope it helps
Hi The root cause of this is usually due to VMware's assumption that HA and the auto-start functionality should not be used together. When HA is reconfigured, the VM auto-start setting on the host is disabled (in vCenter, for each host, see Configuration > Virtual Machine Startup/Shutdown). However, this is not an issue for VMs which reside on the local datastore, such as Nutanix CVMs, that are not configured to use VMware's HA feature. So we have manually re-enable the VM auto-start fucntionality if HA is reconfigured. For more details, you can refer to KB article 1024. https://portal.nutanix.com/#/page/kbs/details?targetId=kA0600000008S32CAE
Hi Currently there is no direct way of migrating Data from Nutanix storage system to any other storage, but there are some products which can help you to migrate data between 2 heterogeneous storage. Like if you are using VMware vsphere, you use vsphere replication manager to migrate data across 2 different heterogenous storage solutions. Hope it helps !
The use of link aggregation such as LAG, LACP and potentially other link aggregation technologies is a hypervisor and network switch configuration consideration. A Nutanix cluster can work with and benefit from the configuration of link aggregation on the hypervisor and physical switch.As a best practice, link aggregation on the physical interfaces of a Nutanix node should be limited to same-sized interfaces. That is, do not include a 1 GbE interface with a 10 GbE interface. If you must, configure the 1 GbE interface as a standby interface. Most Nutanix nodes include two 10 GbE interfaces in the standard configuration and as such you should not need to use the 1GB interfaces.Note that the use of link aggregation must not be extended to vSwitchNutanix, For more details about LACP support for Nutanix clusters, you can refer to below mentioned KB article. https://portal.nutanix.com/#/page/kbs/details?targetId=kA0600000008f8TCAQ
There are few things which can be backed up in the environement using Nutanix converged infrastructure. 1. User Data : As you may be knowing this, user data is always replicated and default replication factor we use in that is 2 but you can also configure it for 3. What that means that for every data there is replicated data available in NDFS so that node failure can be tolerated. At the same time you can use conventional back up solutions to backup your VMs. 2. MetaData database : Even this part is protected by RF factor 3, which means that each metadata information is stored in 3 nodes. 3. As far as configuration of cluster is concerned, there is no way to back up the configuration and you probably don't need it until and unless your entire cluster goes down. Also in entire cluster down case (catastrophic event) you can configure DR solution which is in built in Nutanix systems.
It's always the curator responsible for running scans. Be it a full scan or partial scan. Stargate performs I/O operations after curator has identified the data which needs to be moved around in NDFS. -Navpreet SRE Nutanix

I think it refers to drives in Windows. One where OS is installed and other drive where user data is stored. Hope it helps. -Navpreet
