Connecting Cloud Innovators: Building Community at .NEXT 2024
I have never used ESXI with Nutanix, I have always used AHV. That being said, each node always has a CVM as the HBA’s are passed through to the CVM. acli is used for managing VM’s/Networks/snapshots/Hosts , for example you can take snapshots of VM’s or even list all the VM’s.acli is only available in the CVM’s, it is not available in the root/host user. (will attach a screenshot for you to see.) ACLI as host is not foundI hope this helps.
Hello, from what I have read and what I use, Nutanix recommends the same disks across the entire cluster. The believe the reasoning behind this is how the replication works, but I am not 100% certain. For example: if you have 4x 12tb disks per node across a 3 node cluster, this is fine. So is having 6x 12tb disks per node across the entire cluster. The issues come when you mix and match drive sizes. (other clustering software recommends this as well as software raiding programs such as ZFS. in ZFS if you have a 8tb 8tb 8tb and 10tb drive, the software will partition the 10tb drive as an 8tb drive. mixing and matching drive sizes becomes problematic when calculating where to put the data and can lead to corruption of data or data loss depending on how the data is in the cluster). Tl;dr keep your drive sizes the same to avoid headaches here’s how I add / remove drives in my homelab: 1. add the 12tb drives.initialize the 12tb drive in the hardware tab. wait for the data to migrate over. w
When my cluster restarts, HA kicks in and automatically starts the vm’s back. There is an option in playbooks for starting / Powering on VM’s. It can be found prism central.
