Using LCM to update Foundation to version 5.4 I am finding that it consistently fails on Lenovo hardware.I’ve tried two clusters so far that were both at AOS version 6.5.2 but both LCM updates of Foundation to version 5.4 failed.Ominously there is mention in the Field Installation Giude for Foundation 5.4 (link below) that “Software Update” should not be used to update Foundation on Lenovo platforms, and advises to use the command line instead.It worked when using the command line, so my question is: what’s going wrong when LCM attempts this?https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Field-Installation-Guide-v5_4:fie-upgrade-foundation-vm-c.htmlWhat tends to happen is that most nodes except 1 or 2 are successfully updated, with the remaining node neeing to be done by hand from the command line.
業界レポートや各地域の専門家は、アプリケーションやデータを管理するための技術に巨大投資が行われると予測しています。 本記事は Scott Steinberg氏が 2023年4月3日に投稿した記事の翻訳版です。原文はこちら。 市場調査会社IDCによると、2026年までに、アジアを拠点とする2,000社のトップ企業の総収入の40％が、デジタル製品、サービス、体験によって生み出されるようになるとのことです。これにより、爆発的に増加するアプリケーションやデータ、そしてそれらを実現するシステムを管理する必要性が高まります。 従来のデータセンターで運営されている技術が、「旧態依然」であり続けることは、もはや不可能です。また、クラウドサービスへの移行を急ぐことは、必ずしも最良の反応とは言えません。これらのことは、COVIDによる混乱後のビジネス調整で明らかになりました。と、NutanixのAPJセールス担当ジェネラルマネージャー兼バイスプレジデント(営業部長)であるAaron White氏は述べています。 「組織にとって今こそまさに、一歩引いて、パッチワークのような情報技術を手放し、時の試練に耐え得るより永続的で拡張性の高いソリューションへと切り替えるべき時なのです。」とWhite氏は述べています。 その結果、だんだんと、企業の多くが、ハイブリッド型マルチクラウドITオペレーションを採用し、構築するようになってきています。White氏は、APJ全域の顧客が、デジタルトランスフォーメーションとデータセンターの最新化を優先し、パンデミック時にパブリッククラウドとデータベースを急いで導入した状況を継続しつつ、より永続的でかつ安定したソリューションへ到達したと見ています。 「顧客は、アプリケーションの数が飛躍的に増加することで、その管理の必要性に迫られると同時に、データベースのスプロール化(無計画な広がり)にも対処せざるをえません。」「このことは、この地域のITチーム全体にまたがって、いくつかの重要な傾向をもたらしています。」と、White氏は述べています。 関連 ： ハイブリッドマルチクラウドシステムでデータベースを制御する IDCは、今後数ヶ月内に、この地域の企業が、コスト削減と効率化の手段として、ITソリューションに多額の投資を行うであろうと言及しています。同様に、アプリやデータ

I want to create a configuration in Sizer that takes a snapshot once a day.However, an error message is displayed on Sizer and configuration is not possible."Cluster: 'Cluster-1' nodes with SSD capacity less than 7.68TB are not allowed when configuring Hybrid nodes with RPO of 6 hour and node capacity ranging from >96TB upto 136TB. For more info, refer to Nutanix Maximum Configurations & Snapshot Frequency Field Requirements"Sizer's workload only has Daily Snapshots set."Hourly Snapshot Retained" is unchecked.However, for some reason, the condition check for 6 hours RPO is caught, and the hardware cannot be configured.What should I do to remove this error?
I turned on a trial of calm in my cluster, but never really did anything with it. I’ve searched and searched but I’ve been unsuccessful in finding how to disable it. Can someone point me in the right direction?Thanks!
For our development work, we are using /v3/hosts/list endpoint. As per the specs, we want to use length and offset for pagination to fetch large number of hosts. We tried using it as follows:curl --location --request POST 'https://<host>:9440/api/nutanix/v3/hosts/list' \--header 'accept: application/json' \--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \--header 'Authorization: Basic abc' \--data-raw '{ "kind": "host", "length": 1, "offset": 9}'However, length and offset params doesn’t seem to be working. It returns all the hosts (2 in our case) irrespective of the params passed. Also, we used the same params in /v3/vms/list and they are working as expected. So, wanted to know if this is expected or is this an open issue? Is there a way to get all the hosts through Prism Central (v3) APIs?
When we set out to develop the Nutanix Certified Master (NCM) exam for Multicloud Infrastructure the goal was to create an exam that mimicked real world situations and tested your skills in performing the actions needed to resolve them. The team worked for months with a group of subject matter experts (SMEs) to make sure the skills being tested were valid, and designing scenarios that were representative and realistic. And after dozens of beta tests, the reviews are in! If you want to learn more about what they’re all talking about, check out this video with exam designer Joshua Andrews. You can also see some examples of the exam scenarios in our Monday Masterclass blog series. And if you’re ready to get started on your personal journey to NCM, there’s a special 50% discount on the related Advanced Administration and Performance Management course going on now!

We are running asynchronous Protection Domains and also employee Veeam backups of VMs. If we failover to the secondary site and then failback to the primary site, Veeam no longer recognizes the VMs in previously created backup jobs. We have to delete all the old backup jobs and set them up again. This is with ESXi hosts. Is that normal?

HiNutanix 6.6.2.5Installing Prism Central (1-Click Internet)When I deploy PC, then there is an option, as either:Small Large X-LargeWhen I selected small. Then I get 1.VM with “6 vCPUs, 26 GB of memory, and 500 GiB of storage.”I deploy it. And after there is an option to “Scale out PC”. I can scale out to 3-VM, so I get 3x “6 vCPUs, 26 GB of memory, and 500 GiB of storage.” But my question is, can I scale out from Small to Large as well ?And also from Small to X-Large..?Or I need drop my PC to achieve that..? I am new to nutanix. And I would like to know, which is the best approach for later on, when there is a need to expand.Also, as I have read, the Flow Virtual Networking requires “Advanced Networking”, which needs X-Large deployments.We might need that option later on. So I want to know, should I need to create X-Large deployment now, or can I change it later on. Thanks. RegardsRaul
HiNutanix 6.6.2.5What is the difference for the following storage containers, except the replication factor, compression, etc..) ? I mean what is meant to be placed for the certain containers.For example, when I deployd Prism Central, then there was an option between “default-..” and “SelfServiceContainer”, so my question is, which is for what (images, VM’s, etc..)..?Thanks.RegardsRaul

I have just installed the module Nutanix for Ansible. The demo playbook works fine.https://www.nutanix.dev/2022/08/05/getting-started-with-the-nutanix-ansible-module/But I can’t find in the module documentation how to deploy VM from a VM template just like we do with https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/community/vmware/vmware_guest_module.html ?Thx
I’m developing Ansible playbooks to deploy Linux and WIndows servers from disk images and using cloud-init (already working) and sysprep (forthcoming, I’m not a Windows specialist)The NGT Tools are pre-installed in images.The problem is that new VMs show NGT : “Not Installed” in Prism.Is there something else to do ?Thx
In waiting for possibility to deploy VMs from templates with Ansible (see https://next.nutanix.com/ahv-virtualization-27/how-deploy-vm-from-prismcentral-template-with-ansible-nutanix-module-41800), i’tm trying to use cloning, see playbook below. The demo playbook with same parameters works fine to get cluster info for "{{ prism_cluster }}".The cloning fails with error :KeyError: 'cluster_reference'What is missing in playbook ?Thx

As stated in the question, how do I create a template from a VM in AHV?And how do I use the template to create a VM?
Can someone let me know how I restart the upgrade on the failed host? I cannot seem to find any restart/retry button.The host failed to go into maintenance mode and now upgrade says aborted on this one host.I have fixed the cause of maintenance mode now so it will be fine.
