5 Essential Tips for Maximizing Your Experience at Nutanix .NEXT for Bloggers
you would need to go to 5.2.5.1 (note this is EOL) that supports esx 7.0 U3 and from 5.2.5.1 to 6.5.4 that’ll then support anything 7.x but as of yet not esx 8.xthe upgrade paths can be found herehttps://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/upgrade-paths?product=nos&currVersion=5.15.4&tarVersion=6.5.4
in a word no, it might work but isn’t supported, is the cluster in production???Nutanix Support & Insightsyou really need to get off that version of AOS its as old as the hills! it doesn’t even support ESXi 6.7 and that is EOL let alone ESX 7
NIC failures are VERY rare
think it is physical cores that Oracle can use. So if you had a host with 24 cores then you would need to license Oracle for 24 cores even if the VM was only using say 8 vCPU’s. I would talk to Oracle licensing as they are reknown for being aggressive in their licensing. In a previous role the business continued to run Oracle on an old IBM cluster rather than migrate to nutanix as the old IBM hosts had less cores than the nutanix hosts.
the policy, like anything Oracle, will be spank the customer! Licensed per core that Oracle can use, whether it does or not! It why its always best to run Oracle (if you have to) on the lowest core count hardware that you can!
Hi, Please refer to KB 3123 for hypervisor support policy, once major versions are qualified, maintenance or patch version are supported if cannot wait for qualifications of them. With ESXI 7.0U3 specifically there has been known issues which is alleviated in ESXi 7.0U3n Nutanix FA #111 Vmware KB https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/91212 F>P there is a fix for this now with the latest ESXi update which is the affore mentioned 7.0u3n
ok basically that article says follow VMWare upgrade procedures once you have issued the commands to correctly shutdown the CVM on the host you’re upgrading ESX on.So I’m going to go with what I had planned and use vCenter updates to update the host once VM’s have been migrated and the CVM shut down
it’s not really the firmware updates thats the issue, I’ll just use the LCM for that but rather the best way to do the ESX hypervisor upgrade
might take a look at the Nutanix move tool. Typically the host that the fortinet analyser is on actually failed this morning! LOL We’ve managed to get it up but might look to try and move the VM across to the cluster it came from, we might be able to do it using our backup solution (rubrik) and just do a restore back to the nutanix cluster
kind of hoping it was a Nutanix issue as VMWare support is awful!!! Hoping to get rid of VMWare in the next year or so when we do a infrastructure refresh and go to straight AHV.Now I need to get the 6Tb VM moved over to the cluster now some other way that isn’t VMotion via vCenter!
interestingly that works! logging in to a nutanix hosts UI on that cluster allows a greater than 2TB disk to be created. Going back to vCenter you can see the disk but attempting to create another fails as you can see by the red !
moving the VM to the non-nutanix host isn’t the issue that’s just how we found out about the issue. The VM was vmotioned to the non-nutanix host as all our hosts both nutanix and non-nutanix are managed by the same vCenter The issue, as you can see from the screen shots, is on the second cluster you CANNOT create or move to that cluster a VM with a greater than 2Tb disk! Both clusters datastores have been created the same, NFS3 and both clusters are the same AOS and ESXi version.
Thanks for the update, I’ll raise a ticket myself next week
Nice one, please let us know how it goes, I can raise a ticket as well if needs be.
We’re already running pc.2022.6 and that the issue
Not yet, been busy with other stuff and this is an annoyance rather than service impacting
Had a similar issue when upgrading from w2k12r2 to w2k19 on ESXi I had to update the VM hardware to a new version
We’re having the same issue, about to open a ticket. Running 2022.6 only a couple of clusters running ESXi 7.02
yes it is managed by the same vCenter. Basically we have 3 clusters.one vSphere cluster which hosts Prism central and vCentre and two nutanix clusters hosting everyting else.do I need to register the host cluster with PC once its moved to one of the nutanix clusters?
