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.

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

Hi All,We’ve got a cluster which we have recently not renewed support/maintenance on as we are in the process of decommissioning it, however still have some workloads which are lagging behind being decommissioned.Noticed today that the license expiry is approaching (November 2021), what will happen once the license expires?CheersJason

How does one become eligible to schedule an exam?  On the scheduling portal I get below.“You are not eligible to take this exam.”“Authorization Needed: This test requires authorization from the test sponsor. If your test sponsor has already transferred a test eligibility/authorization record, it will be available to you after log-in.” This is actually after I couldn't show up for the exam and need to reschedule it.

Nutanix can get VM utilization CPU memory (low, high, current) like vmware RVtool?

The RAM usage on the Controller VM or Prism Central VM has been high, I have tried deleting all the old logs from the affected CVM’s Logs folder, and freed up space upto 6 GB. But still getting this the crritical alert every few hours.

can we schedule snapshots weekly at a certain time example weekly Saturday 1PM.

＞This customer requires to do implement the DX380 Foundation Service without vCenter(vCSA).＞Is it acceptable to provide services without vCenter as a service requirement? There should be no vCenter when you provide the service.However, I think there must be some restrictions regarding settings.For example, LACP settings etc.This is because vDS creation is not possible. So, explain to us your service requirements to our customers.
