5 Essential Tips for Maximizing Your Experience at Nutanix .NEXT for Bloggers
Nope, the filesystem whitelists are for when you want to access the storage containers directly. For VGs, you can either direct attach them to the VM with no additional whitelisting required, or connect to them with a traditional iSCSI client with the clients’ ID(s) added to the VG.That “external client” checkbox is for allowing clients that aren’t hosted by the cluster to connect to the VG.
Follow up:I installed the cmdlets and it is indeed there! Just a bit hidden. It shows up if you add the “-ExpandedOutput” parameter to the “Get-NTNXProtectionDomain” cmdlet. This will give you the number you want in PowerShell:(Get-NTNXProtectionDomain -PdName <PD_NAME_HERE>).usageStats["dr.exclusive_snapshot_usage_bytes"]
The Prism Element API (the v2 one) does have this stat, under the /protection-domains/{name} endpoint. There’s a “usage_stats” object towards the bottom of the response that has “dr.exclusive_snapshot_usage_bytes”https://www.nutanix.dev/reference/prism_element/v2/api/protection-domains/get-protection-domains-name-getprotectiondomainbynameI’m not sure if the cmdlets have this stat though.On your second question, you can’t sum up snapshot usage like that. Each snapshot only reports the amount of data it’s exclusively using (i.e. if you deleted only that snapshot, that’s how much space it would free). The catch is that there’s usually data that multiple snapshots are relying on; since that’s not “exclusive” to any one snapshot, none of them will report it, but the total number in the PD will reflect it.
Yea, if you created the VMs’ disks by cloning from the images you imported, you can delete the images. The CVM will keep the data that’s still being used by the VM.
Hey @Sammy777Yea, you can do this. The “symmetrical” thing is for performance reasons; you want to make sure that all channels are “balanced” and have the same number of DIMMs. It’ll work if it’s not balanced, but will likely be slower. This doc shows the supported balanced configurations of memory on that model:https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=System-Specs-G6-Multinode:har-dimm-config-overview-g6-c.htmlAs far as getting Nutanix to recognize that the DIMM is removed permanently and stop sending alerts, there’s a way to do it, but it’s not public and I don’t remember what it is. Hit up Nutanix Support for that.
