Windows 11 Pro WSL Docker

Hello !!! Please help me! I found documentation from Nutanix stating that Docker is not supported on Win2016 using AHV, does anyone know of any more recent documentation that informs the version of Windows that is supported on AHV?Does Nutanix support Docker installation on a nested virtualization on AHV?    (version 2024)

Help Shape the Future of NutanixWe’re running two short surveys — and your input would mean a lot! Search in Prism Central

Hello again from the research team! We’re trying to better understand how users interact with the 'search' option in Prism Cental, whether you use it, how you use it, and what you think of the search queries with operations. Your feedback will play a big role in helping us design a simpler, more unified search experience. Motion Design & IllustrationsWe’re exploring how visual elements like motion and illustrations can improve clarity, guidance, and overall experience in the product.You can take either survey or both (we’d love that! ). Each one just takes a few minutes, and your feedback helps guide what we build next.  Take the Advanced Search Survey https://ntnx.design/search-survey [Take the Motion & Illustration Survey]https://ntnx.design/animation-surveyThanks for being part of the Nutanix community

Packer Windows 2022 Boot Loop

We are new to Nutanix coming over from vSphere and are experiencing the same issues that is discussed but not resolved on this thread:https://next.nutanix.com/ahv-virtualization-27/packer-press-any-key-to-boot-from-cd-dvd-issue-43213We are using Packer to build a Window 2022 image.  We have customised the ISO to remove the "Press any key to boot..." prompt.  However, we are now in a situation where Packer/AHV doesn't allow us to specify a boot order so the CD is constantly booting, installing and rebooting.We can continue the Packer build if we manually dismount the CD, however, we want to be in a position where this is a hands off build and orchestrated by a pipeline like our vSphere builds are.Has anyone managed to get around this?

Upgrade Prism Central

Hi everyone,I want to upgrade my Prism Central (current version: 2024.2) to a newer version, but I must have a plan to rollback, if something happens along the way. When upgrading using LCM everything seems straightforward and easy, when the checks are done and everything, but are there any risks/losses/possible damages? Can I go back to a previous version? Is there something specific to look out for? What to do if something breaks? Thanks in advance :)

Cisco Unified Communications Manager support on Nutanix AHV

Dear Nutanix team .We need to deploy Cisco Unified Communications Manager and UCCX by Cisco  on Nutanix AHV.Today, it is not possible to run Cisco CUCM and UCCX on Nutanix AHV while also being supported by Cisco.They shared ova file with us, But Cisco  requires VMWARE Esxi virtualization only.In this situation we have not any choice.Could you help us with this case? Maybe you can discuss this issue with Cisco and they will add some solution and support for Nutanix Platform.How can we use this solution by cisco on Nutanix ?

V4 VMM API ERROR : PLAT-10006

Hello,I used the following GET request to list the VMs :/api/vmm/v4.0/ahv/config/vmsThe return error was PLAT-10006. I investiguated and found that only one VM was the culprit. When I use the previous endpoint with the name filter to pinpoint the VM I indeed get the same error.Finally, the following endpoint with the VM ext-id produces the same error :/api/vmm/v4.0/ahv/config/vms/${vm-ext-id}The same request in the V3 API produces no error. On the UI, the object is visible and looks normal. Even in NCLI the object is correctly fetched.I’m on pc.2024.3.1.1 and AOS 6.10.1.5Does any one know what could cause this ?Does someone know the full meaning of PLAT-10006 ?

VMs won't power on - QEMU error

Hello, first time poster. I’ve created a one-node cluster on an intel NUC 10 (NUC10FNH) using latest phoenix image. install went fine after a couple of hardware bumps but node is up, CVM is running etc. The issue I’m having is I can’t power on any VMs I create. It only gives a generic “InternalException” error. In the uhura.out log, there are these entries “Error: HypervisorError: internal error: QEMU unexpectedly closed the monitor” and “qemu-kvm: Address space limit 0x7fffffffff < 0x4bcbfffffff phys-bits too low (39): 61”. Having a hard time trying to make sense of this. I’ve read other people running on the same hardware with no issues, maybe it’s the specific version of the CPU (it’s an i7-10710U). one-node cluster, 64GB RAM, one 500GB m.2 SSD and one 500GB SATA SSD. booting off a 64GB usb drive. Any info would be appreciated. Thank you.

Upgrading ESXi 703c to 703s from vCenter instead of Prism Elements?

Good day nutanix community We are to upgrade our cluster from ESXi 7.0.3c to 7.0 U3s to patch for the latest CVE vulnerabilities, BUT, in the Compatibility and Interoperability Matrix there is no information about this ESXi Version so, it´s is supported this ESXi? Current AOS version 5.20.4.6 LTS upgradable to 6.5.6.7 LTSModel NX-1065-G7Can I upgrade the ESXi hosts from the vCenter LCM without needing the ISO and JSON files for they hypervisor upgrade in Prism Elements? Is the model and AOS version there compatible with ESXi 7.0.3s event though the compatibility matrix doesn’t show it, and the latest JSON file I can get from Nutanix website is 7.0.3n?

Need Help NCP-MCI-6.10

Hey everyone, I’m currently preparing for the NCP-MCI-6.10 exam and struggling to find good practice tests. Most of the ones I found online are too basic — they just touch on general topics like “What does the Prism Central do?” without diving into the actual exam format or technical depth.Can anyone recommend realistic practice exams that closely match the certification style and help with actual understanding? Would really appreciate it — thanks in advance!

Disk Deletion Does Not Free Storage Space Immediately in Nutanix AOS

 Environment AOS Version: 6.8.8 Hypervisor: AHV 2022.10 CVM: Nutanix CVM version 5.18.3 VM Guest OS: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Storage Type: vDisk attached as AHV data disk DescriptionWhen I create a new vDisk, write data to it, and then delete the vDisk in Prism, the underlying storage space is not reclaimed immediately. I still see the same physical usage reported in Prism Element and on the CVM filesystem, even after: Deleting all snapshots and clones Running fstrim -v /mountpoint inside the VM Executing the Reclaim Space action in Prism Triggering a manual Curator scan (curator_cli scan start) I expect the deleted blocks to be freed right away, but they remain allocated for hours or even days.Steps to Reproduce In Prism Element, create a new 50 GB vDisk and attach it to a running VM.

ESXi vs AHV - Cluster Load Balancing

Hey all,  I am trying to do a Hypervisor Cluster comparison between AHV and ESXi.  To kick this off, does AHV have a way to load balance the VM’s and move the load to other hosts / nodes with less usage as DRS does for ESXi?  Thanks

Nutanix Backplane network

Does the Nutanix Backplane network allow communication between nodes without routing ? I see the CVM’s communicate between the 192.168.5.x subnet, do the CVM’s communicate over L2 within the subnet or do they use L3 in the Nutanix internal network and if I were to disconnect the L1 Physical networking would the CVM’s still be able to communicate over this network ? I am running ESXi ontop of 4 nodes and just trying to establish if the external Physical network impacts the CVM’s on each node / esxi host, if we lost a HBA / physical adapter on that has the Backplane network would the cluster become degraded and would that CVM be offline or would it still be able to talk to the other CVM’s?  Thanks

While looking for solutions, I found a similar case, but the resolution there was related to the processor rather than TPM.We're trying to perform a feature upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11 through Intune, and this issue is blocking the process.Has anyone experienced this problem and found a solution?Thanks!
