VMTools Not Running For Move

VMware tools is one of the prerequisites for using Move. So, you have to install (the latest) VMware tools to migrate the VM automatically. Otherwise, you have to perform a manual migration.

Moving a windows 2019 application license server into AHV cluster from Hyper-V

Not anything is possible. As far as I know, you can preserve the MAC address for licensing purposes. Everything else is newly created. That is a disadvantage when changing hypervisors.

Moving a windows 2019 application license server into AHV cluster from Hyper-V

I don’t think you can manage that. Can you apply for a new license with a new Machine ID or a different CPU ID?

Windows 2008 R2 Migration from ESXi to AHV

Hi @Jose_orozco, Option is to clone disk(s) to ide bus.  Server will start (very slowly). Then you can check the drivers of the SCSI controller, and eventually reinstall this driver. When driver installation is successful, you can clone the disks again, but now to a SCSI controller. Server should be running without any problem after that (at least, if the SCSI Controller is the problem.) Did you call Nutanix Support? After all, Windows 2008R2 is supported with the latest VirtIO drivers. They would be happy to support you.   Regards, Bart

Windows 2008 R2 Migration from ESXi to AHV

hopefully, you have the time to install the virtio drivers (before getting the BSOD). Another option is to install the virtio drivers on the source server, so Windows Plug&Play will install the SCSI controller driver and the server will boot automatically after migration with the correct drivers.   regards, Bart

Nutanix Cluster exsternal Storage NAS | iSCSI

Mapping of external iSCSI storage to a virtual machine will work without any doubt. I think it is also supported... Mapping external storage to an ESXi host will work, but I think it is not supported. This is also not the question, although the picture is a little confusing about this... Regards, Bart

How to move VM from 2008 Hyper-v to AHV

Hi, Should be done manually... You have to copy the vhd files to Nutanix storages... You can use this files as source for a disk image. When the images are created, the virtual machine can be created in Prism... I think, there is some guidance on the web. I will have a look for you... Regards, Bart

Move 3.0

I try to migrate as many as possible OSes to Nutanix... Unfortunately, not all are supported with Xtract / Move. I migrated several XP / 2003 systems manually. Are you planning to MOVE bare metal servers to AHV with the product as well? Regards, Bart

Changing vlan of VM

[url=http://next.nutanix.com/member/profile?mid=9121]Jon[/url] I discussed this lately with one of my customers... Isn't it possible to change the network with [b]acli vm.nic_update[/b]? Should be much easier than deleting and re-adding a new nic... I am not sure this will work, but according to the documentation, it should... Regards, Bart

HyperV backup

Hi, Some solutions need to have an agent installed on the smb server. Also Microsoft solution DPM is not able to back-up servers on Nutanix Hyper-V using checkpoints (snapshots) of the virtual servers. By then, you have have to install an agent inside the VM for data protection. I thnk Commvault is able to back-up Hyper-V virtual machines residing on Nutanix, using checkpoints. Regards, Bart

NCC Failure on vstore mappings

Hi Jon, You are right about the failback... I did not think about that. Then I am in a little trouble, beause I created a mapping for replication of a server template to remote locations... I don't need a replication back to HQ for that... So I have to live with a fail on that particular NCC check... Regards, Bart

NCC Failure on vstore mappings

Hi Jon, I don't think it is a bug... If NCC is checking if the number of mappings is the same at the configured remote site, the check has the correct output. I am just wondering why the number of mappings must be equal on both sides? That doesn't make any sense to me... Regards, Bart

Red Hat support

Hi, Virtual servers running RHEL7 certainly can run on Nutanix... It depends of course of the hypervisor you want to install on the Nutanix nodes... When running VMware or AHV, RHEL7 is supported... I think it is also supported by Microsoft on Hyper-V, but reading your question, I cannot imagine, you are going to run Hyper-V on a Nutanix platform. Regards, Bart

restore VM's from snapshot

Finally, I opened a call with Nutanix support... The command Restore-NTNXSnapshot is still under investigation. Support told me to use Restore-NTNXEntity. There was a bug in it, so I had to upgrade to 4.7(.0.1). After the upgrade, I was able to restore VMs from the snapshot. Regards, Bart

restore VM's from snapshot

Hi, I tried to restore the entire container using Powershell. I want to use the cmdlet Restore-NTNXSnapshot. To do so I have to provide a parameter RestoreEntitiesRequest_SnapshotId. But I don't know what this parameter is... This customer has AHV installed. Virtual Machines has to be known on the DR cluster, so Commvault can recognize them. When data protection has completed, the virtual machines will be deleted... Regards, Bart
