The ESX hypervisor option is not available in Nutanix CE during Installation, is there any requirement for this option to be available? Screenshot taken from the internet with ESX option Screenshot taken from my installer without the ESX option Thanks
We have a new cluster running AOS6.10 AHV which is nearly ready to go into production it will be replacing two older clusters running ESX. Currently it has no encryption enabled. What is the best option, pros\cons of full cluster encryption compared to Entity Encryption (VM) using storage policies? Its a 4 node cluster and will be hosting around 170 VM’s.
Wondering if anyone has seen with Windows if I boot a legacy BIOS VM with an attached Windows ISO it automatically boots to the Windows installation. If I try to boot it as UEFI it still boots to the ISO, does the ‘Press any button to boot from ISO’ but then tries to go to PXE/network boot. If I press a button it does boot into the Windows installation. Just curious why this difference between BIOS and UEFI and if anybody knows.

HelloWe have a Nutanix cluster that we decomissionned, we want to delete all the storage data before unplugged it, but for some reason after deleting all the VM the storage cannot be deleted because its say there file on it (I check on with winSCP and nothing present on one of the storage, and on other its old snapshot associated with no vm.How can I delete all the stuff within Nutanix?
Hi all, I'm in the process of creating two new Nutanix clusters and configuring Metro availability for replication. Our network uses a spine-leaf architecture, with 10 nodes on each site. Latency for site-to-site connectivity is under 5ms VLANs can be stretched between sites for seamless failover of all VM workloads. Additionally, I plan to use network segmentation to isolate storage/RF traffic for each cluster. I’m aware the all ESXi hosts need to part of the same ESXi Cluster for a supported Metro Availability configuration.I would like some advice on whether the ESXi hosts should be on the same stretched Layer 2 network or if they can be independent. For example, having ESXi hosts on site A use 192.168.5.0/24 and ESXi hosts on site B use 172.16.2.0/24.Are there any downsides to this approach? It feels more straightforward not to stretch the VLANs for host management networks. Has anyone else managed something similar? Any insights or best practices would be greatly appreciated. Than
Hello community,I’m attempting to install single node AHV server with CVM on bare metal rented from CSP. The hardware compatibility is confirmed from the AHV HAL. Following the guide, I was able to complete the installation however the networking isn’t getting configured correctly. Seeking help in debugging and resolving the issue. Issue: After installing Nutanix Community Edition (CE) 2.0 on bare-metal, the network does not get configured correctly. Inbound and outbound connectivity with AHV & CVM not working.Procedure Followed:Downloaded the Nutanix CE 2.0 ISO: phoenix.x86_64-fnd_5.6.1_patch-aos_6.8.1_ga.iso. Installed using IPMI interface on the physical server. Uploaded the ISO and followed the bare-metal installation instructions outlined in the official deployment guide: Nutanix CE Deployment Guide. During setup, configured the IP and gateway details for both AHV and CVM. The following were assigned: AHV: IP: (Public IP) DNS: 213.186.33.99 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Hi I using playbook to categorize vm’s according to cluster,os,sla and such. It’s working, but I want to see if it’s possible to assign a category based on two or more conditions. I’m only able to use the ‘branch’ to evaluate one condition. Is it possible to do AND when evaluating if a vm is assigned to a category?
Hello everybody,we’ve received a Nutanix Insights Update a few days ago which alerted us to the fact that there’s a critical issue with the NS204i controller Firmware on one of our DX380 servers.Currently, firmware version 1.2.14.1004 is installed and firmware revisions below 1.2.14.1013 are susceptible to file system and I/O errors.The current HPE Servicepack for Proliant 2024.11 includes the updated firmware revision 1.2.14.1018.One of my coworkers mentioned that Nutanix maintains a list of compatible HPE SPPs for the ProLiant DX servers and that I should not simply use the most current SPP to upgrade the firmware.Can somebody point me to this list? Or would it be okay to use the most current SPP to upgrade des firmware?Sorry if this question was already answered elsewhere, I’m quite new to this Nutanix thing 😊Thanks in advance,Dominik
https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Nutanix-Community-Edition-Getting-Started-v2_1:top-getting-started-ce-c.html上記の手順書を参考に構築作業を行っておりますが、Webへの接続ができない状態のため、いくつか質問させてください。私は現在、IDRAC上でisoファイルをマウントし、構築作業を行っております。Nutanix Community Editionのインストール後、AHVとCVM間の疎通は問題なく確認できましたが、IDRACがある踏み台サーバーからAHVやCVMへの外部接続ができない状況です。これが原因なのかは分かりませんが、クラスタ作成後のGUIへの接続もできない状況です。ネットワーク設定に関する知識が不足しているため、どのように確認や設定を進めればよいか、アドバイスをいただけると助かります。AHVのIPです。割り振ったアドレスはブリッジに入っている10.229.192.70です
All existing guest VMs created in AHV have admin as the owner except one as in the screenshot, Is there an available way to change that ownership to admin?Thanks for your answers in advance

Nutanix Database Service (formerly Era) enables you to provision complex database environments in a single click, incorporating your standard configurations with Nutanix best practices.Check detailed release notes before deploying any product updatesResolved IssuesRelaxed Validation: The nosuid mount option check for the /tmp directory can now be bypassed for PostgreSQL and MongoDB VMs by setting the relax_nosuid_mount_option_check flag to True. This resolves issues with database server VM registration failures when nosuid was enabled .Important Notes and CautionsMigration Limitations: NDB does not support the migration of the NDB server and agent to a different storage container within the same Nutanix cluster or to a different Nutanix cluster. User VMs managed by NDB cannot be migrated to a different Nutanix cluster . Protection Domains: Database server VMs provisioned with NDB should not be added to protection domains. If already part of a protection domain, registration is possib

皆さんお疲れ様です。NutanixCEインストール際にエラーが発生しましたので、ご相談させていただきたいです。現在、IDRACのコンソールでNutanixCE2.1のisoファイルをマウントし、インストール作業を行っております。最初はインストールしたのですが、SSH接続でCVMのログイン時にパスワードを間違え、ロックがかかってしまったため、再インストールを行いました。問題は再インストール作業で発生しました。インストール後にAHVではなく、phoenixのCUIになる原因が発生しました。そして、リブートをすると下記の画像のように表示されます。。解決策をご存じの方いらっしゃいますでしょうか。＃ハードディスクやメモリの性能は推奨条件を満たしています。 ＜最初に上手くいった際の画像＞ 再インストール直後の画像リブートした際の画像

Deploying NDB solely on a VMware infrastructure without an accompanying Nutanix cluster is not supported?
i installed community edition on a no internet access network on a vsphere VM.Now i cannot bypass NEXT credentials page So,I added another nic to the VM on the internet VLAN, and I assigned IP and mask and added a route. I cannot still access internet, and the CVM itself cannot detect any of this changes. Any idea how to fix this? and how can i bypass this NEXT page if i dont have internet access allowed? thanks
After deploying 6 Lenovo ThinkAgile HX650 V3 CE nodes in a single cluster, Nutanix Prism Element shows that it has no active licenses. In the Nutanix portal website with the end user credentials, it can be seen that it has the starter and pro licenses. When uploading the cluster summary file generated by Nutanix Prism Element, it shows the error "No compatible products found for the uploaded cluster summary file". The cluster does not have access to DNS or an NTP server. I have also tried entering the cluster information as Dark Site but it continues to show the same error. I would appreciate it if you could tell me how I can overcome the error and upload the license. Thank you.
Nutanix external networking seems to be broken. I’m installing on a dell R730 with multiple networking cards and LOM ports. I can only get to the system via idrac. I can't seem to ssh to ahv or the cvm. I can't browse to http:// management_ip_addr either. I have no way into the system other than idrac.Internal networking seems fine. I just can’t go external (ex. ping gateway) My thought is that there is some sort of disconnect between the virtual networks and the physical ports. For example, in VMware you need to select the right physical port for your virtual management network. I reinstalled 4 times on bare metal and don’t have any instructions wor selecting physical ports.
