Imagine AHV as driver that virtualizes and manages all disks and represents them to AOS.
AOS (formerly NOS) is the Acropolis Operating System and is the base operating system that runs on each CVM.About hypervisor, Nutanix support AHV (Acropolis HyperVisor), which is the Nutanix free hypervisor, Microsoft Hyper-V, VMware vSphere ESXi and Citrix XenServer. I don’t think AHV without AOS would do anything for you. I haven’t heard of such setup yet.
If you want to test Nutanix real quick: https://www.nutanix.com/try
In theory yes it is possible to have AHV without AOS, but AOS(is your OS in lamen’s terms). So it would make entire setup usless. If you want to try Nutanix for free yes CE is one option if you just want quick test they offer free demo aswell on commercial version.
You can’t have AOS without AHV: https://hyperhci.com/2019/07/14/what-is-difference-between-nutanix-acropolis-aos-vs-acropolis-ahv/ yes basically you pay for how many nodes you order.
Files can only be downloaded trough Prism, Upgrade software tab which you used earlier.
I’m not sure why it got stuck. I suggest you to kill tasks as written in following guide: https://hyperhci.com/2020/02/14/how-to-kill-nutanix-stuck-hung-task-via-command/ If you File server is installed don’t bother updating it, since issue may appear again.

Based on this article: https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/kbs/details?targetId=kA00e000000bslvCAA I guess you can set machine type with following command:acli vm.update machine_type="q35"I suggest you to turn the VM off before this change.

Here is a good blog about this topic: The Ransomware Threat and with a bit of searching through web you will find out that no matter how good your protection is at the end is usually human error that brings ransomware to your organization/cluster. I see that Nutanix has a lot of protection and the best way to deal with ransomware is to buy a backup solution which enables you to restore all your data in case of such thing. Backup solution is safe because its separated from Nutanix. Uses different storage.
No it’s not a must in my opinion Prism element is enough to get good overview of cluster status.
If you want to register your host to vcenter this is how you do it: Registering vCenter Server (Prism Central)

Ok thanks for clearing things up. Good luck!
I’m glad you made it work and help others with great explanation. Good luck.
Great that you found the solution, can you mark your reply as an answer so people with similar issues can find the solution faster? Thank you.
If solution presented in knowledge base doesn’t help I doubt anything else will work. Maybe try to create new PC(Prism Central). Something might go wrong during upgrade.
