5 Essential Tips for Maximizing Your Experience at Nutanix .NEXT for Bloggers
Hi Tirtayudha,Nutanix snapshot is using a redirect-on-write algorithm so if you restored VM to the previous snapshot, then the VM will point to that snapshot vDisk which will become RW instead of RO. Protection Domain is pointing to VM as an object so it will be always pointing to running VM and its vDisk If VM is deleted all of its snapshots will be orphaned and useless as you can not recover a VM from only a snapshot. but snapshot data will remain on the container. you can always restore VM from external backup and snapshots should be attached again to the same VM Best regards,Amr Abdelshafi
Hi @MattK If OPNSense require promiscuous mode to you can enable vNIC2 as trunk using this link https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=AHV-Admin-Guide-v5_15:ahv-vm-nic-set-mode-to-trunk-or-access-t.htmlyou can check status of NIC from CVM if its connected or not nutanix@cvm$ acli vm.nic_get <vm name>X.X.X.1 { connected: True ip_address: "X.X.X.1"...** you should find three nics and status of each
Hi @Ivan_lopez You can only expand one node cluster two node cluster. Because the architecture is different between one/two node cluster and normal three node + cluster.When the time comes to expand more than two nodes, you may need to move out all VMs then distroy cluster and build it again with three nodes.
Hi John,You can mix different models (360 wwith 380) and generations of the same vendor in one cluster, and even all flash nodes with hybrid nodes. But different vendors like DX and NX in same cluster is not supported. Amr
Hi Brent, 1- The Deduplication it’s set on container level so you can have multiple containers with different storage saving techniques. like a container with Dedup or Compersion or Dedup and Compersion. when to use Dedup it depends on data type, Dedup is best for Fileshare or VDI types of data. Where on the other hand compersion is best for Database which is not already compressed from the application level.2- The container is Datastore for VMs Disk while Volumes a vDisk mapped directly to VMs (LUN). volume Groups use case as follow if you don't have it you can ignore a- Physical server that requires a LUN or a disk from nutanix storage pool b- Virtual cluster that requires shared disk-like Microsoft SQL failover cluster or Oracle RAC Regards,Amr
Hi @bereketsolomon What you can do for exchange application is to use Microsoft DAG replication technology for the availability which is fully supported by Microsoft and Nutanix. For the other VMs which does not have a native application replication tool, you can use Nutanix PD Async replication. It’s actually a Nutanix best practice to use DAG: High AvailabilityFor support, if replication stopped, it will depend on the issue if it apparently a DAG replication issue you can open a case with Microsoft if it is a gray area you can always call Nutanix support the will help identify the issue better.
Hi John,Two ways you can achieve this Option 1 (backup)If you have Veeam latest version you can take backup and restore directly to AHV (time between backup starts and restoration this to be considered as downtime and any changes will be considered as data lose)Option 2 (migration)It will have to be two step migration.First You can use vcenter converter to do P2V to an existing ESXi host or to a temporary one with trail license.Then you can use Nutanix move (free) tool to migrate V2V VMware to AHV.
