Thanks for the feedback, eagerly awaiting those capabilities :)
Any update on this topic?
Another way to get the disk path associated with every vm is via this command (on KVM hypervisor) [list=1] [*]Get UUID for your VM (either through Prism or command below):virsh list --all [*]Get disk image location:# virsh domblklist [/list]It will be something like this: /dev/mapper/1NUTANIX_NFS_388663_d10d8f42_1fcc_4fd5_be30_006de14e340e Problem with backup is not making a copy of the above disk image. I have yet found a way to "restore" it back into acropolis-managed VM. Anyone figure this yet? Seems like we would also need the VM XML configuration (you can dump it via virsh as well).
I am testing KVM on NOS 4.1.x on two NX-3050s exactly because of what's coming in next release of NOS. My expectation is that NOS with KVM will soon meet ESX capabilities (in live VMotion, DRS, HA, and Failover). Only concern I have today is with daily operation of Virtual machines. For example, anyone has come up with an elegant way to export VMs created in one Nutanix cluster, to import on another Nutanix cluster? I've tried the usual virt-XYZ and virsh utilities, as well as qemu-img conversions to only find that once you import a VM into a nutanix cluster, its declared as not managed by acropolis :( I'm also interested to see what others are doing with KVM on nutanix.
