I'm not sure that NFS is the best way to move stuff across a WAN like this. You might be better off pulling the disk files out and putting it into an FTP or something more tolerant of TCP retransmit and latency issues. What do you mean by the default remote site didn't work?
NFS whitelist and mount the datastores on a VM locally to pull those disks out. Windows can mount a Nutanix whitelisted datastore if you install the NFS client feature. I'd open a support case for the remote site issue. And check for firewall / network configuration issues. If you can get these two sites on an Async DR protection domain, it's easy to cold migrate VMs between the sites.
Sorry, only the admin and the nutanix users exist in the CVM. We don't recommend expiring the nutanix user password as that’s basically a service account and it’ll potentially break a cluster if it expires.
