We have our Nutanix 5 node cluster installed with VMware vSphere 7.0U3. RF=2 so I should be bale to withstand a 1 node failure. I would like to test the HA capability of VMware/Nutanix by taking a node offline abruptly and ensure everything works as expected before placing production workloads on it.I was thinking of placing a test VM on a node and then pulling the power cables and ensuring that VM is powered up on a remaining host.Does anyone have any better or preferred way to test HA?

I would like to ask a question: When we deploy object storage, the IPAM network segment should match the network segment of the cluster, such as the CVM. Is the host IP address in the same network segment?

Hi all, After completing the ECA online course and earning the free exam voucher, I am unable to schedule for the NCP-MCI exam on the NutanixUni-PSI exam dashboard (https://home.psiexams.com/#/dashboard/regular-dashboard).  At the bottom area where the schedule link ought to be located, I am instead seeing this block of text: “You can schedule an exam if you have previously contacted a PSI Customer Support representative and paid for an examination, or you believe that your licensing or certification agency has provided PSI with eligibility information for you.” Any help would be appreciated! Sebastian

Hello Team,I hope you are doing well,I am learning more about Nutanix platform ,  can please share document(s) or KB(s) on how the physical disks are used in a Nutanix host? ie if the disk in slot 1 is reserved for CVM or m.2 is reserved to install the OS,I want to have my own guide that shows all models with their own disk layout according to their possible combinations -single SSD , dual or quad SSDs the rest of the slots are populated with HDDs -hybrid-or all slots are populated with SSDs ..ect.BRAdel

Hi,I have two Nutanix clusters on different sites (one on each site) a few miles apart with 10GB low latency networking in place.I have setup a two node failover SQL Server cluster for HA on a single site, but I would like to add DR to the solution.I know Availability groups (and other options) are a good solution for this, but we can’t implement those at present and so I am looking for the ‘correct’ way to replicate the two node HA that we have (With it’s shared storage) across to the second site so that our front-end application will continue to function in the event of a site failure.Any tips or pointers would be very much appreciated!Thanks

Hello Ma’am and Sir,Does anybody tried installing or imaging a single node using phoenix? please i need some help/procedure for this as I can’t access the links given in this page it only shows “Not Found or Fordbidden”: Appendix: Imaging A Node (Phoenix) | Nutanix Community…...specifically in “Installing the Controller VM and Hypervisor by using Phoenix” and “Imaging Bare Metal Nodes”…..I created bootable phoenix using USB then i am now in the root@phoenix but I bet it requires some commands to push but have no idea on the commands and theres no search result in the internet regarding that

 tl;dr how to perform pre-upgrade checks from the command line?Hello Guys,I have a question related to the performing manual / cli upgrade (command line). Here’s the scenario:AOS with ESXi as a hypervisor, multiple ROBO offices / Dark Site (no access to the internet), Dark Site server with LCM, very limited broadband: 16Mbit with static shaping (4Mbit) for management purposes and 12Mbit for businessIt is very difficult to upload via AOS GUI 4-5GB of  upgrade and .json file. 3-4% / 10minutes and upload task informing about a ‘server issue’. I’m 99% sure that it related to the broadband shaping.Solution is simple:upload tar.gz install/upgrade bundle, ‘untar’, install ( ./install/bin/cluster -i ./install upgrade )My question is: is any magic command to start pre-upgrade tasks with is normally presented in GUI if upgrade package is available? It will be very helpfull to start pre-upgrade check in-advance the main upgrade.I tried to find the command in lab:-- uploaded the bundle in ‘normal

Hello guys,We are considering upgrading the existing Nutanix cluster environment to meet high reliability protection for critical applications.Currently we have a site A as the production cluster and site B as the disaster recovery cluster. The sites on both sides use Leap to provide a data protection strategy with an RPO 15 Mins.All sites' virtualization systems are using AHV.Now we plan to build a new site C, and do real-time synchronous data transmission with site A.Site A and Site C will be deployed in the same building.At the same time, it is hoped to ensure that the failure of either site A or site C will not cause data loss or service interruption.We hope to use Nutanix's data synchronization solution.However, we found that once the VM uses Leap to configure the real-time synchronization policy, the original Leap asynchronous transmission policy cannot be applied.It appears that only one Leap protection policy can be applied to the same VM.Therefore, based on the above situation

We have migrated a few Windows 2003 server VMs running on Nx / ESX to a new AHV cluster but in one of them after 3-4 hours the principal guest VM NIC stops responding and the VM has to be rebooted. We have tried deleting and adding the NIC manually with the same result so we had to roll back and boot that specific VM on the old Nutanix / ESX cluster. We plan to upgrade Fedora drivers to latest instead of stable and maybe change some network registry settings according to W2k3 best practices. Has anyone experienced this before? Any advice will be welcome.

What metrics are considered when Acropolis Dynamic Scheduling makes a migration decision on AHV related to CPU usage? Does ADS consider only CPU usage on the Host? Or does ADS take into consideration other VM or Host metrics such as CPU Ready, Co Stop, and/or Steal Time?

Hello All,       I am working with Affinity policies and I wonder if there is an Affinity “light”. What I mean by this is in Hyper-v clusters you have a “Preferred Server” this means that if the preferred server is available the vm will reside there if not it will move to stay running. Once the preferred server is back online then it will move back. Is this possible in AHV? Thanks,Scott
