Thank you so much sl.farhanparkarI will keep you informed...
Hello sl.farhanparkar,Thanks once more for these clarifications.Below, the answers of your questions :What’s is required RPO / RTO ==> RPO values will depend on the VMs criticality : Some VMs will required an RPO=0, some others an RPO=1H, and so on. The minimum required RTO is 1H for critical VMs, RTO is greater than 1H for other VMs What’s available bandwidth and TTL between the sites ==> Bandwidth = 100Mbps; TTL < 5ms. What Nutanix license tier is available ==> Acropolis Ultimate Are both the sites having Network (L2) extended, (are same network subnet available at both the sites.) ==> The 2 sites are connected using an L3 link (no L2 extension) Are Volume Groups configured for any VMs that to be replicated ==> VGs are not planned for VMs to be replicated yet; but this could be use in a near future Is vCenter available at both the sites ==> Yes, We do have vCenter Standard licenses for both sites as we want to use SRM. Each site will have its own vCente
Hello Thanks for you reply and all helpful details you provided.I have some points to clarify and to ask : If you have Advanced Replication or Ultimate you can also use Runbook capabilities through Prism Central which is replacement of SRM ==> In my case, the Organization I work for has already made the choice of SRM; the licenses have even been purchased. So I MUST use SRM. While using SRA or vSRA with SRM you need to make sure all the compatibilities and configure all the additional components and dependencies, which makes things little complicated to setup and troubleshoot ==> As far as I know, Nutanix Protection Domains are compatible with SRM, since a SRA has been developed by Nutanix for this purpose. Is there any compatible issues I don’t know about it ? Please tell me more Both the options are possible but VMware vSphere replication Appliance will not be able to replicate any volume groups if you are using them ==> Very good point. Thank you so much. So, we could use
Hello All, I found out this is an issue related to the version pc.2021.9.0.5 of Prism Central, released on Mar 29, 2022.Nutanix shared a workaround to fix it : https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/kbs/details?targetId=kA07V000000LZLISA4; but, I personaly find this very complicatedFrom the Support portal, in the Downloads Section, we can see the following about the version pc.2021.9.0.5 of Prism Central So, I think the best way is to upgrade to the new version of PC (pcxxxxxxx) released on Apr 11, 2022.I have performed the Upgrade to this version and it works fine, the issue is no more present, I am able to see the production and test failover subnets for the remote site. Thanks.
Hello Paul,Thanks a lot.First of all, we needed to create an office365 account…After that, we provided informations as shown below : In the “user” tab, we provided the email address of the Office365 created and the related password in the “Password” tab Thanks again !
Hello All,I finally solved my issue about the error message "Fatal running pre-install sanity tests" while using Foundation to install my Nuta cluster.Please find below all the actions taken by myself :+ Downloading Foundation VM 4.5.4.1+ Using VirtualBox instead of VMware Workstation to deploy the foundation VM+ Using the lastest AOS (AOS 5.15.2) instead of AOS 5.15.1.1+ Launching foundation and providing all informations (IP adressses, hostnames, IPMI credentials, etc).After following these steps, all things were OK. All the 3 hypervisors are installed, the 3 CVMs too and the nutanix cluster is UP. Thanks
Hello,Just an update on the IPMI issue. I solved it by enabling “IPMI over LAN” in the BMC menu.When you perform a factory reset of the IPMI, this option becomes “disabled”. Even when this option is disabled you can still ping the IPMI.I am still troubleshooting for the second issue...
Hello Sergei, Thanks, it is clear
I use the English version of Windows 2016. honestly I don’t why this line appears in french (perhaps because I am using Portable FOundation and my computer OS is in french...)
Hello Roberto,Please find below answers to your questions :Are you able to login to the IPMIs? ==> YesHow many network connections are on these modes? ==> 02 connections per node (01 x 10 Gig SFP+ and the IPMI 1Gig RJ45 port) to a same basic Switch (Cisco 9200 with 24 RJ45 ports and 04 x 10 Gig SFP+ ports)If you start with a basic switch connected to the Dedicated IPMIs can you login to the IPMI? ==> YesIf you start with a basic switch connected to the Shared IPMIs can you login to the IPMI? ==> Unlike Supermicro models, Lenovo models do not have shared IPMI, that’s why I connected both IPMI and Data ports to the same switch.
Hello Sergei, Thanks for your reply...I feel more comfortable with the second option (install the English version and after change it to french).Thanks.
Hello Paul,Node model : Lenovo ThinkAgile HX232110 Gig adapter : ThinkSystem 10 Gb 2 ports SFP+ LOM1 Gig adapter : IPMI 1G RJ45
