I would like to know what the root cause for this Warning Alert. It occurs on the day i was patching the LCM to version 2.7.1 .  The Warning alert is Maximum supported HDD/Total capacity installed on hybrid nodes. Configured memory does not support the total capacity installed on NVMe nodes. I have ran the ncc health_checks system_checks dense_node_configuration_checks and result is:Detail information for dense_node_configuration_checks Node <Cluster Virtual IP>Warn:Node 97186 with 32GiB memory cannot support the HDD capacity of 70.96TiB. The minimum required memory for the current HDD capacity is 40GiB.Node 4 with 32GiB memory cannot support the HDD capacity of 71.03TiB.

I am working on converting my scripts to Powershell 7.x. I tried to use the Nutanix cmdlets 2.0.1 provided for Prism Central. Attempting to connect to Prism Central is failing. Six months ago I played around with it and it worked then but now does not.Our main Prism Central instance is pc.2023.1.0.2. We also have a test instance which is pc.2023.4. I get the same error when attempting to connect to either.PS H:\Scripts\Nutanix> Connect-PrismCentral -Server MLBPRISMTST1.cs.myharris.net -Credential $AdminCred -AcceptInvalidSSLCertsConnect-PrismCentral: Error from MLBPRISMTST1.cs.myharris.net: Could not connect.

Want to download ISO NGT . Same process like VBox_Tools for example .

A disk failed at one node and replaced the disk.I'm trying to restart with CVM and connect to SSHAuthentication continues to fail.Node is in maintenance mode.An SSH key was created to connect without a password, but the node is not connected through the key.Is there another way to connect to a single mode like regular Linux?Or is there a way to create a new CVM?

Is there a feature within the Nutanix Sizer that allows for manual adjustment of the vCPU to pCPU ratio? If so, could someone guide me through the process or point me to the relevant documentation or resources?

Hi team:We are doing POC for Nutanix Objects. So far function testing has no problems, but we have a question about backup: How to backup objects which is located Nutanix Objects? I don’t know if there are 3rd backup software supports to backup objects in Nutanix Objects. We now use IBM TSM and EMC Networker for on-premises backup for VMDK, file and DB. Thanks!

Hello!A few years ago, there was a topic raised about this issue, but I would like to confirm if there are any current issues.I am currently using version 5.20 of AOS and it was confirmed that the installation was done with RF3 two years ago.I would like to change this to RF2. I know that it is not possible to change the FT, but I only want to change the part related to Storage.It seems that the command ncli ctr edit rf=2 id=container_ID can be used for this purpose.When making the change, do Nutanix ManagementShare and SelfServiceContainer also need to be changed?Will there be any impact on the service during the change?

Hi,I need to use the API to select the primary NIC that Foundation will use to discover nodes. When I try the request :GET https://[fvm_ip]:8000/foundation/primary_nicI get the following result :{ "primary_nic": 2}That is expected. But when I send the same request using POST, which is valid according the documentation, I now get :{ "error": { "details": [ "'nic' is a required property" ], "message": "Unprocessable Entity", "session_id": null }}My understanding is that the request should be used with a parameter or a body specifying the new primary NIC. But The documentation does not state anything about it. So I tried to pass in “nic”:1 as a parameter and as a body, but still the same error.Is it a bug ? Is the documentation missing some explanations ? Source : Foundation – Nutanix.dev

Trying to deploy a VM through ansible playbook.  Deployment work fine. But I would like to configure IP address, netmask and gateway. Also I would like to add code for joining the vm to AD domain. Looked into guest_customization. But I am not finding any documentation on how to use guest_customization. There is some, but it only for Linux systems. Any tips/references will be appreciated. Thanks Yezdi

Hi,I have an issue when i try to remove an image of an ISO on my Nutanix :attribute app blueprint template not setCould you help me to remove this ISO please?Thanks

I see ESXi 8.0 U1a “Vendor” was recently added to the compatibility matrix for HPE DX360 Gen 10 for AOS 6.7.1 and 6.7.1.5 Does this also imply that vCenter 8 is compatible with Prism (stand alone) ?When I talked to support last year they suggested holding off on upgrading vCenter. 

We received the Warning: Detected iSCSI discovery or login through cluster external IP address just today and is trying to make sense why we are seeing this Warning. Historically we had never this and has not made any changes to our Nutanix configurations. Combing through our events we can’t seem to figure out what may have triggered this. If anyone has received this before in the past and is a one off thing I would like to hear your experience on why this was triggered on your end. Is this something we should be overly concerned about?Any advice is greatly appreciated. I’m new to this community I apologize if I’m posting this in the wrong forum. Regards, Mike

I have a AHV host who crashed suddenly and does not want to start again 🙄.Like he is in a test environment i tried to remove it from the cluster with ncli command. Host remove-start id=0005f4c2-012c-5363-0000-000000019191::6 force=trueCommand failed because RF2 not permit to remove 1 of the 3 hosts cluster.I decided to reinstall this host with Foundation with new IP’s and new host name.Then, via Prism, i expanded the cluster with this new installed host.A new host appears to be added in cluster, but his status stays as “NEW”…I was hoping that by adding a new host to the cluster, I could then remove the one that crashed 🤔Why this new host stay in status “NEW”?Thanks for your help.

I do a AHV convert from VMWare to AHV recently on my 4-node Nutanix NX-1450. Unfortunately only 2 nodes are successfully converted, one node remained failed and retain as ESXi and the other node failed to download the bundle binary. I wanted to reprovision from scratch using Foundation (Bear Metal Deployment) Tools. I have the Foundation 5.5 however, when provision it cannoy connect to IPMI (Error attached)so I an suspecting it is not compatible. Any body can help on this. If you have the earlier version of Foundation Tools maybe can help me? 

RDP to guest vm’s running Windows Server 2022 are freezing a few seconds after connecting. Running latest VirtIO drivers 1.1.7. After rebooting the guest, RDP seems to work ok for an hour or so before freezing again. Guest memory utilization 48%, CPU 3-5% so no issue there.

I have 5 vms in one consistency group and 1 vm one consistency group in same protection domain.I took manual snapshot, it trigger only one snapshot, is it correct? 

Hi Teeam,can any one help me as soon as possible.I have a four node Nutanix cluster in my environment and there is space issue (not enough free space)in the nutanix cluster for that i did some exercise given below,1.some of the vms migrated to the another cluster successfully and there is no issuue with that. so after migrating vms to another cluster and i have deleted the vms in the affected nutanix cluster …. ok still i am unable to see the free space in my clusterHere my question is ..How much time it will take to reclaim the space/seen free space after deleting the vms in nutanix cluster Recycle Bin has been enabled by default in in the cluster and it stores some data so what about Recycle bin means need to disable after deleting the vms or what about it function to reclaim the space in the nutanix cluster.Please explain any one ASAP. Thanks,Ashok. 

Or, “How does the ‘Check Login’ step actually work?”I consistently get a TLS error on any attempt to connect to the new VM from CALM. Every time. This is a blocker for me, as I can’t do much to the VMs during provisioning without this connectivity, and I can’t/shouldn’t do everything in the cloud-init step.  I am able to ssh into the new VMs successfully using the same credentials, so I know that the credential is correct, but I don’t think the credential is the issue - the error is happening before the system tries to use it. The screenshots below are from two different blueprint deployments.Script execution has failed with error: tls: first record does not look like a tls handshake.Could not connect to the service running at 1.2.3.4.From a higher level, how does CALM initiate the connection to the new VM when starting the “check login” step? The TLS handshake issue implies a mismatch of HTTP/S protocols, and/or mismatched TLS 1.1/1.2/etc versions. But this is supposed to be an SSH co

Dear all,I need to take NCSR certifications for Sales but I don’t see this on the Nutanix University.Where is this certification ? Is it possible that I can't find this certification due to an incorrect profile (technician instead of salesperson)? Thank you in advanced for your help.Jason

Hello - Is there any way we can check when did VMs were powered off in Prism Element/PC. Note: I am using Prism Central starter license. 

in remote site compression, on wire compression will help the replication speed and does it have any pros and cons by enabling this feature.

 I have 5 vms to be replicated one by one manually, If I add the 2nd vm to protection domain and take the manual snapshot, will it take only chnages and 2nd vm or it will take completed 2 vms again
