5 Essential Tips for Maximizing Your Experience at Nutanix .NEXT for Bloggers
As an existing customer, the lack of online expansion of volume-group disks is preventing us from killing the SAN all together (windows failover clusters). Do we expect this feature to come in the next or a near-future release? Specifically for Hyper-V customers. -E
Thanks for the reply but I think you may have missed my concern. Unless I'm mistaken, we are not able to resize disks that belong to a Volume Group without taking the Failover Cluster offline - that's what is preventing us from using NTX Block Services in our fialover clusters. Am I mistaken and we can resize these disks while they're being used? **Edit** Just saw your second reply. Thank you. We are very much looking forward to that hot-expand as we're currently able to do this with our Luns that reside on our NetApp and Equilogic SANs.
Thank you - do you know if there is a bug number or KB article on this issue?
That's great news - thanks for the update!
Is it a problem if all of your test-VMs live on the same host (will they fit)?If you can put them all on the same host - I would create a new Private switch an connect the test-VMs to this private switch. On Hyper-V, this is a switch that allows VMs on the same host to talk to each other but not anything else on the network. I assume AHV has a similar offering. In this case, you don't have to reIP because the traffic never leaves the Private switch.
Hyper-V - Correct
Thanks for the feedback. My clusters are domain joined and I don't have the option to "Join Cluster and Hosts...". -Ernest
[user=9121]Jon[/user] thanks for the hypothetical, it helped when clarifying as the current AHV Best Practices Guide still clearly states that you start by increasing vCPU before increasing vCores.
Thanks so much, Neel!
