5 Essential Tips for Maximizing Your Experience at Nutanix .NEXT for Bloggers
Hi, I also the have the issue installing the CE edition. I’m installing on bare metal DL380 from USB stick. The “Get AOS version” is taking very long time and I can select on the grey screen one time on 10 tries. I’m getting crazy. I tried to put disk in RAID-0, on RAID-5, just select 3 disk,… Nothing work. Yesterday, I had the chance to have the ability to put ip,… twice. The first time when the installation was finished, no boot device, The second one, installation “sucessful” too, I took the entire night to try to start the service without any success. I’m working since several years with VMWare and I want to learn more about Nutanix that is for me a good alternative to vxrail for customers. But the first met is quite discouraging. I’m trying to install it since 6 days. I read the Hardware requirement, docs, forums,… but nothing is working on my lab right now. Has someone some advices to avoid to give up? Thanks My first piece of advice is to update all firmware, especially
Hello. You can face this issue in the modern Chrome-based browser. On the screen with the certificate warning message type, - thisisunsafe and you will proceed to the login page.
I agree with Jeroen. It can depends on the underlying hardware, especially on the disks.Faced the same on non-nested CE. The simpiest indicator that something goes slow:Check metadata ring - nodetool -h0 ring - nodes may be in the down state.Check disks utilization and await time from CVMs: sar -dp or iostat
Hello!Please check my article on how to deploy nested CE 2.0: https://en.vmik.net/2023/09/ntnx-ce20-vsphere8-deploy/ In short, for each CE VM you need to add advanced parameter disk.EnableUUID = TRUE. Otherwise it can affect Medusa service during cluster creation process.
Thank you for mentioning my post @aluciani !
I assume we’re talking about AHV. Placing node into maintenance mode migrates all the VMs from the host, excluding CVM and marked the host as non-schedulable, so no other VMs can run on this host.But CVM will work on the host, even it’s in the maintenance.I believe that support ticket will be the best choice in your case.
Hello.If your CVM (VM) is running and you can find it under VM list in the Prism Element cluster, you can connect to the VM’s console and authenticate using login/password.Don’t forget to mark “Include Controller VMs” checkbox.
The best 😎
Hello.You’re right, there is no way to connect remote storage to the Nutanix AHV over SAN. Local disks are the HCI way, and you may read about its benefits over traditional SAN. Start with https://www.nutanixbible.com/.Btw, you can connect remote iSCSI luns inside of the guest VMs, using the guest iSCSI initiator. But I don’t like this method.

Hi Karlie, can you explain how to use the discount code HLW23FRX by midnight on October 31 for a free NCA or NCP? Hello.I see that PSI is redisigned a bit.You need to put this code in the “Coupon or Voucher Code” field during payment procedure for the exam on the PSI site.
I tried doing a virtual three node cluster with CE on ESXi but could never get the three host to reliably talk to each other to build the cluster. 1 out of the three host’s CVM would always be unreachable. I single node cluster works. I simplified to a single nic on the ESXi host for the vswitch to ensure it wasn’t a network issue. I did make the changes to Accept for Promiscuous, Mac address changes and Forged transmits. You can try a “trick” - run pings between hosts and CVMs, to update mac address table. Once all CVMs are “pingeable”, try to create a cluster.
You definitely should use a modern browser.If you face an issue, when a chromium-based browser warns you about a prism certificate, and don’t let you continue, try to type “thisisunsafe”.
Hello.Click on the “Gear” icon located on the top right. You will be forwarded to the Settings screen.From there - Image Configuration - Upload Image. After uploading, use “Mount ISO” in the VM console:
Good luck everyone!
It works. I’ve just booked a spot. how did you solve the problem? Thanks Try again, it should be extended

Voucher code is not accepted, what should I do? Try again later. It should be fixed.
Hello. I believe that the best way to gather information from guest OSes is to use 3rd-party monitoring software and collect OS data using SNMP or using installed agents. please Can you give me 3rd-party monitoring software you recommend ? I prefer to use Zabbix

I love the education section on Xtribe 😉
Hello!Let me share yet another blog. I wrote an article on how to install CE 2.0 on vSphere 8 in a 3-node cluster.It's in Russian, but can be easily translated with Google. I hope it will help.https://vmik.net/2023/04/21/nutanix-ce20-install-esxi-2023/
