5 Essential Tips for Maximizing Your Experience at Nutanix .NEXT for Bloggers
Hi Good to hear you had some success with the Fedora drivers. I know it's only IDE so this will probably give you potentially a bit of a IO performance impact (don't have any numbers though). Regarding the RFE: You go to the Nutanix Support portal (portal.nutanix.com) and when you open a case you can select "RFE" in the drop down as opposed to "technical problem".

BTW, how to go about RFE? Hi team, Anybody have the experience of migrating Windows Server OS with microsoft clustering - P2V? [/quote]You can do that on the Nutanix suport portal (portal.nutanix.com) when opening a case you just choose "RFE" as type.

You can give the open source VirtIO drivers a try (I haven't tested it myself) which might or might not work. This will however not be officially supported by Nutanix and you will probably get only best effort support. Currently Nutanix doesn't plan to release 32 Bit drivers (answer from Dec 28th 2015) due to limited demand but if you raise an RFE with them you can push that number a bit higher and who knows they might consider it in the future.
Hi Thats was also going to be my preference if there isn't too many migrations. I find the process to import a VM from vSphere to AHV pretty straightforward and didn't run into any issues. However the vm mobility drivers didn't work for Windows Server 2003 (MSI was compiled using a too recent version of Windows installer). Nutanix support said they would support such a VM even if it isn't on the list but only if we manage to install their driver (not the Fedora Virtio driver). Which of course makes sense. We are currently waiting for an answer if there is a workaround/other MSI we can use.
Hi Sure I will let you know. I asked for a customer (we are an NX partner) who is doing a PoC but as I understand this was just information gathering and they will probably not deploy the tool until they should decide to buy Nutanix and AHV.
Great, thanks for the link. Will take a look!
Hi We also have a customer interested in doing P2V to AHV. Can you tell us more about the planned tool you mentioned and if it will cost extra? Thanks, regards Sam
