Foundation preconfiguration JSON

Hello @tbailey1 If you make manual entry to the json generated by install.nutanix.com it may not be readily importable on Foundation UI and is not recommended from Nutanix.We try to keep the UI for install.nutanix.com aligned with major release of the actual foundation UI so that user can generate json.However you could refer to the doc or sample of payload provided for image_node API provided at <foundation_ip>:8000/Foundation/docs.You could also fill up the details on the Foundation UI and start an imaging session, which would generate persisted config in the backend which you could refer to and modify and try importing it to Foundation UI.

@tbailey1  My mistake regarding the linkCan you try the following URLhttp://<foundation_ip>:8000/docs/index.htmlI couldn’t find an option to export JSON configuration from a running cluster instead, I would suggest you create a sample JSON using the install.nutanix.com and taking help from the link provided above and use it to automate further deployments. You can also refer to the following documentation https://portal.nutanix.com/#/page/docs/details?targetId=Field-Installation-Guide-v4-4:v44-run-foundation-c.html

Could not find /.nutanix_active_svm_partition

Hi @Aakash  Can you elaborate on the process you followed for the migration of Nutanix VMs to AHV and any official documentation which you followed? Regarding the error “ClientError: Multiple different grub/menu.lst files found”This may be because of multiple bootloader files getting created.For example, you need to load grub loader but rather the lilo loader is getting loaded. You need to alter the boot loader while booting in from the boot order configuration and switching from lilo to grub.(The process to do so varies for different OS)

Admin User API Authentication Check Warning

Hi @Peter_1966  @dinoh  The warning is generated when a third-party client/script is using the admin username to make REST end-points calls. The warning also includes an IP address from where you can isolate which client/script is using the admin account to make REST API calls, it could be any third-party vendor or a script written by you. You can create a new username and use that to authenticate REST API without an alert being raised.If the issue is still not resolved, can you tell us more details about your infrastructure like AOS Version, NCC version, frequency of receiving the warning and which IP address is being shown in the warning and what is the IP Address associated with?Hope that helps.

VMWare Host Power Management Policy

Hello @Bryce_Smith Just to add a feature of AHV here regarding the second question. Question 2: We are migrating to all AHV early next year. Does Nutanix have a corresponding setting for VMWare Host Power Management Policies? To quote from the Power Policy Settings document https://portal.nutanix.com/#/page/solutions/details?targetId=BP-2015-Microsoft-SQL-Server:top_power_policy_settings.htmlNutanix AHV enables the high-performance mode automatically.So when you will migrate to AHV environment, you don’t need to configure any setting for the power policy to be High Performance. Hope this helps!

Configurations you shouldn't change for a ESXi Hypervisor in Nutanix HCI

Hi @AChurn As @sbarab  mentioned that vSwitchNutanix is an Internal Standard Switch for the communication between and the CVM and the ESXi Host.It is designed and configured according to Nutanix architecture. The Mac Address Policy or any Security Policy configured on the Nutanix Switch won’t have any direct security impact on the user VMs running in your infrastructure but Nutanix recommends not to alter any configuration setting related to vSwitchNutanix. Do you have a particular reason or company guidelines regarding this specific configuration?

How to get VM/Host/Cluster/etc. statistics from API in bulk?

@MarekSWI  Just a random idea, we can try to use multi-threading either in python or JS to invoke multiple API calls so the execution time decreases.

PowerShell Command Clone Virtual Machine

 Cloning VM using PowerShell could be done to use Clone-NTNXVirtualMachine commandlet.For example,PS> spec = New-NTNXObject -Name VMCloneSpecDTO PS> spec.name = "cloneOne" PS> vm = get-ntnxvm | Where-Object { $_.vmName -eq "clone-base" } PS> Clone-NTNXVirtualMachine -Vmid $vm.vmId -SpecList $spec    +Create VMCloneSpecDTO and set new VM name to spec.name field.   +Retrieve existing VM   +Run Clone-NTNXVirtualMachine commandlet with vmid of the existing VM and spec object previously created. So what exactly is New-NTNXObject? The New-NTNXObject cmdlet to create a data transfer object (DTO) lists. Hope this helps!
