I have problem with PC Disaster Recovery, its not synced between PE, i`ll check connection between PC and PE and it`s OK. When i remove clusters from DR backup and add them again, it`s sync once. Version of PC 2022.4.0.1Please help!
I’m running Prism Central (PC) Scaleout version pc.2021.8.0.1 and when I select ‘Administration’. ‘LCM’ from the menu, I only get the following message; Waiting for LCM Framework to start…Is LCM actually even a thing for PC?
I have a Nutanix AHV nodes and for the lab purpose i need to install F5 virtual appliance on this environment but i couldn’t get any guidence regarding the process of installing F5 virtual appliance on AHV.
Good day dearsI have 2 nutanix blocks, each 3 nodes , I have the following questions:I have vSphere license and I want to install it on the nodes, I only have prism element ( don`t have prism center) , should this work or I have to buy vCenter? While connecting the nodes to the same switch besides the firewall, should the switch be on access mode in order to Discover the nodes while using foundation, or I can segment the nodes through VLANS?
I want to Migrate AHV Cluster all VMs in to ESXi on Nutanix Cluster, can you please confirm which solution we used for further activity.

Can I mount NFS to store nutanix snapshot files? If so, how can I find the location of snapshot files.
Hi, When I try to open the Files console, I can see the following error: Actually I don’t know why the url is 127.0.0.1. I think it stopped working after upgrade Files to v4.Thank you.
With unstructured data growing exponentially, securing shared storage is increasingly becoming difficult. It is an operational nightmare to identify datacenter weak points let alone predict the next threat. Ransomware attacks are becoming more and more sophisticated, surpassing firewalls and anti-virus software. Does this sound familiar? You plug one hole another opens, you update software, you train end users on how to detect suspicious files or emails but the threats keep coming. The rise of Ransomware in recent years has put companies on red alert. CIO’s are well aware of the impacts this can cause and nearly all would say that security is a top priority for their business.The impacts from Ransomware are staggering:A Cybersecurity Ventures article in 2021 showed that from 2015 to 2021 the damages from Ransomware grew over 57x, from $325M to over $20B. (“Global Ransomware Damage Costs Predicted To Exceed $265 Billion By 2031”) Sophos reports that on average the cost of recovering fr
In the recent version of Prism Central, I am no longer able to configure per-VM affinity rules. I now have to create global affinity policies based on categories. I can see how this is helpful, but it also add a lot of complexity for basic affinity situations like this:I have two VMs dns1 and dns2 and a four host cluster. The two dns servers should never live on the same host. Super easy to do the old way. But how do you do it this way? Would I create a category called `DNS` with `primary` and `secondary` as values? Then create one policy for primary that has host1 and host2 and create another for secondary with host3 and host4?What about a three-vm cluster? How would you ensure they balance onto separate hosts?

I have a question about the new version NCC 4.X and AOS 5.20.X.When I upgraded the cluster from to AOS 5.20.2.1 from AOS 5.15. and NCC upgarde to 4.3.0.2. I found the the ping_hosts.INFO file in /home/nutanix/data/logs/sysstats has disappeared and I cannot check the latency between CVM every minute. There is only the ping_gateway.INFO file to check the latency between CVM and gateway. But there is also ncc alert that the inter_CVM_latency is high. So where can I check the detail latency information between CVM in the new verison?
I get a firmware is not compatible with AHV version .The firmware version running on the nodes is Firmware revision :03.35 . When trying to install AOS on the nodes which I plan to add to my current cluster.Can i get a download link for the compatible version of aos with the firmware . The reason I ask this is that we are waiting for procurement to renew our support subscription which will take long and thus i cannot log a ticket . the nodes need to be re imaged. I understand this is an older version of AHV .
Hello everyone,I started a new project in which we need to be prepared for a Disaster Recovery between 2 Nutanix clusters in different regions. I did the Data Protection from Prism Central just fine in the beginning, already have 8 VM with NearSync enabled with RPO of 15min. However, this new VM has been giving me trouble lately, giving me a RPO up to 3 hours because of the following issues: Warning : Snapshot Replication to Remote Site is Lagging.Warning : Snapshot queued for replications to remote siteWarning : Entity is being transitioned to a lower frequency snapshot schedule. To be fair this new VM is kinda big, with 10 cores, 50GB RAM, and 1.22 TB storage used. It’s for a high transactional MSSQL Server database.I am basically stuck deciding if this is a networking problem, or a workload capacity from Nutanix problem.We are supposedly using 200MBps LAN-to-LAN networking, with a 20ms latency. Should this be enough?On the other hand, I am looking in Nutanix’s Analysis section that
Hi all!I’m guessing I’m missing something obvious here, but I can’t figure it out so I’m hoping that the community can give me a helping hand. :)I want to launch a blueprint using the /blueprints/{uuid}/launch API call as the “simple launch” call doesn’t do what I want. I want to automatically associate the new application with a project and as far as I can tell I have to use the “normal launch” for that.I grabbed the exact payload that Prism Central/Calm sends and have spent half a day trying to clean it up so that I can re-use it, but this is where I get nowhere. If I remove too much, I get an error directly from the API but most of the time I can submit the request without errors.Compounding the issue is that there is nothing showing in the Tasks-indicator in Prism Central, not even an error or a warning, after I sent in the call - there is simply no trace at all of the task I just created.If I check the pending launch details with the /blueprints/{uuid}/pending_launches/{launched_u

Hi@AnishWalia20 ,As per previous query, there was no update for clone permission,But now , on current version of PC 2021.9.0.2 , clone permission is there for ad user, but my query here is to clone other user’s vm or admin created vm. This task i am executing via REST API V3 as per previous query.There is project A(having multiple users) with allow collaboration option, in which ,As a user-A,I am able to clone a vm created by user-B ,But cloned vm owner property is same as User-B.I want to change owner property also while cloning vm via api.After cloning, vm should be owned by user-A.Please let mr know if there is some method to do so.

On my previous blog (Link) I showed you how to build a metro availability. Now I want to "upgrade" both clusters to AHV and enable data protection with the help of Leap to achieve an RPO of zero (0).This blog post are two posts combined. First is the in-place conversion of ESX to AHV and the second is how to enable and configure Leap.ConversionBefore we can change the hypervisor to AHV there are a couple of requirements/things to remember:NGT tools must be installed in each VM: This makes sure we can boot the guest vm's after conversion. Each host must have a uplink NIC team. LACP based load balancing is not supported: So make sure this is turned off on the dSwitch (and on the physical switch). HA and DRS should be enabled; DR activities will be paused during conversion.As my setup is not changed/optimized, I need to change some settings. My vSwitch0 has the following configuration:This will give the following error: "external vswitch vSwitch0 does not have homogeneous uplinks" during
I have Community Edition and I can only see "ntnx-0.5" image due to which I am stuck at Kubernetes v1.16. (Karbon 2.0.2). My objective is to upgrade Kubernetes to 1.17 or 1.8. LCM does not display any software to upgrade.I have uploaded one more image "1.0" under images in PC as below - which I understand is 1st step before K8S upgrade. However, I cant not get ntnx-1.0 image under Karbon download Could someone please advise on this? Thanks
HiSorry if I am asking a silly question. I would like to ask if I configured protection policy from Prism Central. I assume even PC is failed the replication should perform as is just that it would be appreciated if anyone could share some thoughts or documentation to support that.Thank you very much
