When I ran Perform Inventory it created "LCM root task has been created" and it got stuck at 0%. When I checked I saw that there was a NCC alert for idf db to db sync, which was resolved by following KB-5582 and KB-13381. But the task is still at 0%. I need to upgrade Prism Central and AOS version so that it is again compatible with support.nutanix@NTNX-172-20-151-99-A-PCVM:~$ ecli task.list include_completed=falseTask UUID                             Parent Task UUID  Component  Sequence-id  Type          Statusdc01feaa-739c-4e69-4632-409e799d4c18                    lcm        146          kLcmRootTask  kRunning

Also, appears an advise password expiration in a secondary superadmin account. How can we change or disable or change the pwd expiration in these accounts?Many thanks in advance for you time! 😀

Does anyone have a checklist for implementing NKP in a customer's Nutanix environment?

I am a newbie to Nutanix and after successfully installing CE 2.1 on generic PCs and would like to go beyond CE and want to get into the commercial product just to get acquainted in my home lab. Bought an used NX-1175s-G7 with only the original 240GB NVME stick on the motherboard but no SSDs and HDDs and memory. Installed on hand 64GB memory and tried with some drives but the installation is failing always at this point. If someone has the exact model, I appreciate if you give me the above requested make and model part numbers. There are the last few lines of the installer. Thanks."SystemInfo:0": { "family": null, "handle": 1, "length": 27, "location": null, "manufacturer": null, "product_name": null, "serial": null, "sku_number": null, "type": 1, "uuid": null, "version": null, "wake_up_type": { "__objclass__": null, "_name_":

I have 3 servers as nodes for Nutanix CE. On the 1st and 3rd node the installation was successful.But when try to install on 2nd node I get an error. All server the same Dell PowerEdge R640 and i has installation through iDRAC Virtual Media.Physical disk the same on all servers:Whan i has try to install first time on 1st server i has same error, but whan i convert disk to Non-RAID problem has resolved.But on 2nd node it does not resolve problem.Please help with this error.

Hello All, I’m currently looking for a way to create a template that has installed NGT tools because I’m encountered an issue of Prism Central not detecting the NGT Tools Status of the VM (P.S this VM is deployed by a template that have already installed NGT Tools).I want to know how I can create a template which doesn’t need to do further after deployed a VM (Windows or Linux so whatever). Please share your thoughts.Thanks,

Hello Everyone,Im Planning to take NCA 6.10 Certification Exam Where to get Exam Preparation Docs

Hi Everyone, I have a use case within the business where a team wants to be able to leverage nested virtualization.I’m currently running some test within our test environment but wanted to understand if there are implications from nested virtualization such as:Does having VMs within cpu_passthru=true have any performance impact on that node / cluster Live migration considerations Replication considerations 

related same to someone previously raised:https://next.nutanix.com/nutanix-kubernetes-platform-nkp-186/missing-a-file-in-nkp-air-gapped-bundle-v2-15-0-linux-amd64-tar-gz-44497?tid=44497&fid=186 currently i am installing NKP air gap bundle. I can see there is image (nkp-catalog-applications-image-bundle )“Missing a image in nkp-air-gapped-bundle_v2.16.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz ?”I can only see these 2 images. the 3rd one is missing.tried downloading trice, same issue.   

お世話になります。初歩的な質問となります。お時間あります方、お手数ですが以下についてご教示いただけないでしょうか。 ■質問①Nutanixクラスタを構成する際、異なるリソースのノード4台でクラスタを構成することは可能でしょうか？以下のような構成を検討しております。ノード1と2：CPU→8（世代A）メモリ→128GBストレージ→1TBノード3と4：CPU→16（世代B）メモリ→256GBストレージ→2TB※CPU世代は、世代Aの方が古いとする。 ■質問②構成が可能な場合、ノード3と4と同じノードを後から追加し、ノード1と2をクラスタから切り離すことも可能という理解で間違いないでしょうか？ 

We have a customer running the following Nutanix cluster setup:1 cluster with 4 nodes – Dell XC650 model, each node with 512GB RAM2 clusters with 4 nodes each – Dell XC640 model, each node with 768GB RAMThe customer plans to deploy VMs with 64GB and 128GB memory configurations.Could you please confirm:Is this a supported configuration for VM deployment on the mentioned clusters?Will deploying VMs of this size cause any performance impact on other workloads in the cluster?What are the best practices or guidelines to follow in this scenario to ensure optimal performance and resource utilization?

Hi all, Is there limitation to worker’s VCPU to NKP Starter license? Best Regards,Joe Wang 

Dear folks, Nutanix KB 3523https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/kbs/details?targetId=kA032000000TUksCAGI followed the instructions under Option 2: Creating an ISO Using a Foundation VM (in case Option 1 couldn’t be performed), and used the following command to generate the Phoenix ISO:[nutanix@nutanix-installer bin]$ ./generate_iso phoenix --aos-package=/home/nutanix/foundation/nos/nutanix_installer_package-release-euphrates-7.0-stable.tar.gz --kvm=/home/nutanix/foundation/isos/hypervisor/kvm/kvm_host_bundle_**.isoThis generated a 6.91 GB Phoenix ISO with AOS version 6.10.1.1 and AHV included.Before booting the actual G9 nodes remotely via IPMI, I tested the ISO on a VMware Player VM. It installed successfully but only showed a Phoenix OS prompt—no CVM interface or cluster setup options appeared, which I understand isn’t the correct way to test it.This is my first time working with the Phoenix ISO. Is there an official document or guide that explains how to properly image a node u

!--startfragment>Dear Peers,I’ve recently received three new G9 servers and I’d like to image them remotely using ISO files before creating a Nutanix cluster. The target hypervisor is AHV.Is it possible to perform remote imaging using ISO files? If so, where can I download the required AHV images, or how can I create a single ISO image suitable for this process?Any guidance or best practices would be greatly appreciated. Thx Calvin!--endfragment>

i have installed Nutanix SE on a old HPE DX380 Node without problems. I can ping the CVM and AHV Host IPs and i have also ssh connect but i cant connect via Browser with the CVM IP. no matter what command I run via ssh it always comes: Error: Cannot connect to Prism Gatewayi tried to configure proxy, name servers but always the same problemWhat it’s wrong?Thanks for every hint/help

Hi Community,We are working on enhancing our automation flows in Nutanix Self-Service blueprints and would like some guidance on the best way to approach two things:Enable memory overcommit automatically for every VM deployed from a blueprint: Our goal is that VMs should always have this applied at deployment time without requiring manual adjustment later. Ensure category assignment is mandatory for deployed VMs: We would like to implement a check so that if a VM doesn’t have a category assigned during creation, the workflow requires a category before it can proceed. Is there a preferable script type or approach for implementing these checks and automations within Self-Service? Any suggestions on best practices - especially regarding script selection - would be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone, In our environment, we want everyone (not just members of a specific project) to be able to launch a given blueprint when needed. Right now, blueprints appear to require being tied to a project, which limits visibility and use. Is there a way to make a blueprint globally accessible to all users/groups without restricting it to one project? Or assign the blueprint to multiple projects?Also, we’d like to enforce category assignment as part of the VM creation process. Ideally, users should be required to select or fill in a category value before deploying a VM. Can this be achieved somehow?Thanks in advance! 

Hi there,Trying to deploy Prism Central on Nutanix Community Edition I’m seeing the same symptoms as this one Error during deploy Prism Central Encountered Exception in post_deployment step: Failed to enable micro services infrastructure on PC: deploy msp:Error deploying addons: failed to deploy monitoring addon: failed to deploy and verify kube-prometheus: failed to verify kube-prometheus: Operation timed out: failed to verify kube-prometheus: expecting 1 available replica of k8s prometheus in ntnx-system namespace.

SSD（NVMe） 使用、RedundancyFactor2の 4ノードAHV構成でのご相談です。ReplicationFactor2のコンテナ上で仮想マシンを動かしています。 異なるノード上の2本のSSDが「同時に」壊れたと仮定して、運悪く壊れたSSD上にデータを配置している仮想マシンがいた場合はその仮想マシンのデータはロストしてしまうのでしょうか。 仮定の話だとしても、同時にSSD2本障害という天文学的な確率の話で申し訳ありません・・ 「ReplicationFactor2でデータが守られています」以外にも安心材料がありましたら教えてください。お客様の質問にうまく答えられなかったので、こちらで質問させていただきました。

Hi everyone, I am trying to figure out a way to import projects into Prism. I got stuck when I read there is a limit for projects number based on the environment, with a maximum of 500 projects. Is there a way to have more than 500, specifically almost a 1000 and will probably be growing? Any advice here will be appreciated! 

I was testing Link Failover and it was not working as expected. I have configured ACtive-Standby, and once I am taking out the cable from NIC1 all the traffic does not goes through Standby link, after connecting nic back, the traffic was also restored. Just want to know the faiover scenario related to NIC. Note : Time seems to be correct in every CVM Once the traffi is back I am trying to access CVM with virtual IP giving below error  

Hi all,I deployed a Prism Central in small size, and now I need to enable Intelligent Operations and DR. Does anyone have the procedure to convert the size?ThanksRegardsGiuseppe

Hi All,I have been trying to setup a NC2 using AWS. The setup went through fine as shown below screenshot from the prism page:Problem i see now is, the VM created (Ubuntu and Win10) are not been able to connect to internet for any updates or downloads (mirror urls). Also, we are not able to do ssh on those machines.Any help is appreciated.

Dear Nutanix Support Team,I was scheduled to take the NCM-MCI exam but was unable to proceed due to a technical issue on the PSI platform:"Sorry, we are not able to build your assessment."I contacted PSI support, and the issue was logged under ticket numbers #5072933 and #5073189. They confirmed the problem was not from my side, and unfortunately, I lost my exam session.Could you please advise on the steps I should take to reschedule my exam or if any further action is required from my end?Thank you for your support.Best regards,
