Hi all,I am sizing environments and really like to also add the correct licensing to the scenario and export the BOM to request this at the distribution. Unfortunately I have had it now the second time over the last months that licensing was not included correctly.This time I have a scenario with 10 VMs, 5TiB Objects and wanted NCI Edge Pro, NCM Edge Starter and 5 TiB NUS Pro with Adv. Replication. The BOM exported is listing the NCI-E Pro but in addition also Core based licensing. The 5 TiB NUS are missing also the Adv. Replication in the Excel and PDF BOM export.Anybody else with same findings or any thoughts on this?Sebastian

HiI’m trying to deploy Nutanix Files from a brand new cluster using Prism Element:  … but I got this error: The cluster has access to internet, I’ve loged in to a CVM and I’ve done pings to google without issues. So I assume connectivity to nutanix should not be a problem...  am I doing something wrong? Also why I just see the 5.2.1 as the available compatible versions? My AOS is 7.5.1.1 and compatibility matrix shows it is compatible with Files last release 5.3.0.1 Finaly, in case I need to upload the Files bundle manualy (like if it was a dark side), which should be the correct way to do it? I assume I have to download the LCM bundle from nutanix portal and upload it to the PE LCM... Is that correct?Thanks

Hello everyone,I am planning a migration from VMware to Nutanix AHV.The environment still includes some legacy operating systems, such as:Windows XP / Windows Server 2003 Windows Server 2008 (non-R2) Very old Linux distributions (kernel 2.6 era)I fully understand that:These OS versions are not supported on AHV Migration is technically difficult and not recommended This would be a best-effort / temporary solutionHowever, due to VMware licensing constraints, the customer must exit VMware and migrate these VMs anyway.My question to the community is simple:👉 In this kind of situation, what has been the most effective or realistic approach you have used to migrate legacy OS VMs from VMware to AHV?Any real-world experience or advice would be appreciated.Thank you.

Greetings.  We recently inherited a site that has an active subscription of EUC Ultimate licenses.  However, after deploying Prism Central and applying the license, Intelligent Ops was disabled and it’s saying it’s not included in EUC Ultimate license.  We’re confused as we were under the impression that EUC Ultimate included NCM Starter, which should have Intelligent Ops functionality.  Are we misunderstanding that or simply incorrectly applying the EUC Ultimate license to Prism Central?Thanks,

What happened to the Four corners test in X-Ray? What is the equivalent new test?

HiA customer has asked me to deploy nutanix secure snapshots. So to deploy that feature I have to use “approval policies” wich at the same time requests calm or self-service…This customer only has this licensing:NCI Pro +  Advanced Replication add-on (he is using metro-sync) NUS ProIm not able to find if he has enought licensing level to deploy calm or self-service. Can you please help me?thanks

こんにちは。Moveを使用して仮想マシンの移行を実施する計画をしています。Active Directoryのドメインコントローラ（DC）やExchangeサーバーの移行はサポートされていない認識です。ドメインコントローラ（DC）については、USNロールバックが起こることによりDC間でのレプリケーションエラーが発生することを懸念しているのではないかと想像しています。 Exchangeサーバーについて、Moveでの移行がサポートされない理由についてご存じの方、または説明している資料をご存じのかたはいらっしゃいませんでしょうか。もしくは、このような方法でExchange仮想マシンをV2Vしたよというご経験があれば教えて頂きたいです。

Dear Nutanix Community,We would like to inquire about a general licensing scenario regarding temporary license usage.Currently, we have purchased a new license NCI Starter with a total of 60 cores. Before applying it to the target production cluster, we are considering applying this license temporarily to a separate cluster for initial setup or validation purposes.The scenario we would like to confirm is as follows:1. Apply the new license to a temporary cluster with approximately 60 cores.2. After validation, remove the license from the temporary cluster.3. Re-apply the same license to the intended production cluster.We would like to understand:* Whether this scenario is supported.* If there are any risks or limitations associated with this process.* Any recommended best practices for handling such a temporary license application.This inquiry is intended as a general question regarding licensing flexibility and does not involve specific device details.Thank you for your assistance.

Hello,Today I have delivered a three node Cluster to customer.Cluster was Set Up a few days ago in my Environment with a flat Switch.Bond mode for both vswitches is active-backup.Unfortunately Customer had prepared his ToR switches with LACP.All hosts and CVMs cannot communicate.What is the recommended procedure to fix ist?Change bond Mode host by host with manage_ovs  OR Let network team configure the switches (disable LACP) and configure the clusternodes via Prism, after that let Network Team enable LACPKind regards,Thomas 

Hello,customer is using two 4-node clusters at different (geo)locations.There is used a async replication of vm’s via protection domains to the remote site, that works and a failover test was successful.customer wants to deploy NKP on its primary cluster, so far so fine.How can NKP Kontroller cluster and working cluster replicated to the secondary site?Protection domain too or another way? kind regards,Thomas  

Hi,I am trying to deploy an AHV cluster using Nutanix Foundation VM against HPE DX380 G12 servers with iLO7, but the deployment consistently fails in Phase 1 during "Preparing installer image".The relevant error in the VM Foundation log is:Imaging requires Foundation HTTPS to be enabled on port 8001 for nodes that require HTTPS boot media.What I have verified so farOn the Foundation VM:firewalld is not running port 8000 is listening port 8001 is not listening at all curl -vk https://127.0.0.1:8001 returns connection refused curl -v https://127.0.0.1:8000 returns wrong version number, which seems to confirm that port 8000 is only serving HTTP, not HTTPS ss -lntp | egrep '8000|8001' only shows *:8000 nginx -T does not show any active listen 8001 ssl configurationThe Foundation process listening on 8000 is: /home/nutanix/foundation/lib/python/bin/python3.9 /home/nutanix/foundation/bin/foundation --foreground Deployment behavior All nodes fail with the same status:fatal: Preparing installe

Hi everyone,Has anyone here worked with Nutanix in a PCI DSS environment? I have a few questions and would love to hear from people who have been through it.- How did you separate PCI workloads from other workloads in your Nutanix cluster?- Did you use Nutanix Flow for network segmentation? Did it work well for PCI?- How did you handle logging to meet PCI DSS requirements?- Any issues with patching AOS / AHV while staying compliant?- Did your auditor (QSA) already know Nutanix, or did you have to explain the platform to them?Any tips or lessons learned are welcome. Thank you!

Buenas Nutanixeros,Ya me imagino la respuesta, pero no es posible añadir o quitar los devices CD-ROM de las VMs en Caliente? y esta pregunta para la gente de Nutanix, cuando se añadira esta funcionalidad? dependiendo de la criticidad de la VMs a veces nos supone un problema esta funcionalidad.Saludos!!

Hola Gente, Estamos, como muchos otros, viendo maneras de romper el vendor lock en el mundo de los hipervisores y nos hemos hecho el siguiente planteamiento: existe algún medio para poder replicar entornos que corren en diferentes hipervisores? no me refiero a una herramienta como Move para migrar de uno a otro, sino algo que permita replicación continua (o casi continua) entre un hipervisor de la competencia y un cluster de Nutanix. Además de cuestiones comerciales que están aparte, me parece una estrategia muy interesante desde el punto de vista de la seguridad. Poder balancear cargas entre ambos entornos en caso de un incidente crítico que afecte a uno de los hipervisores, por ejemplo.Ideas please?

Hello all,I am trying to make a custom role in my Prism central. The thing I've been searching for is a user’s ability to launch a prism element from prism central. I'm not sure where it is in the operations when making the role. would anyone know where this is? 

Estoy revisando diferentes opciones para mejorar la disponibilidad de Prism Central dentro de un entorno Nutanix y me gustaría conocer cuál es vuestra opinión respecto a las arquitecturas recomendadas y las mejores prácticas.Prism Central es un componente crítico porque proporciona gestión centralizada, automatización y orquestación para múltiples clústeres. Sin embargo, a diferencia de Prism Element, se ejecuta como una máquina virtual dedicada, por lo que su estrategia de alta disponibilidad puede ser diferente.Me gustaría conocer vuestra experiencia relativa a los siguientes puntos: ¿Cuál es la arquitectura recomendada para garantizar alta disponibilidad de Prism Central? ¿Qué sucede si la VM de Prism Central deja de estar disponible? ¿Es recomendable desplegar Prism Central en múltiples nodos dentro del mismo clúster? ¿Cuáles son las mejores prácticas para proteger Prism Central mediante backup, replicación o DR? ¿Y el recovery? Cualquier recomendación de arquitectura, docume

Hi,I’m currently configuring synchronous replication (manual failover, no Witness VM yet) between two AHV clusters managed by Prism Central 7.5.0.5 (each cluster has it’s own PC).Since there is no Witness deployed, this is not Metro Availability, but a synchronous Protection Policy with manual failover. As soon as I have the Witness VM I will test the Metro Availability feature.Current setup Created a container named Metro_CPD1 on both clusters. Created 3 test VMs on Cluster1 and placed them in the Metro_CPD1 container. From PC1 I’ve created a Synchronous Protection Policy (ReplicaMetro-CPD1-to-CPD2) with manual failover. From PC1 I’ve created a Recovery Plan (Recovery-metro-replica1) : Primary location: Cluster1 Recovery location: Cluster2 Execution mode: Manual Added the 3 VMs to the Recovery Sequence. Configured Network Mappings (Prod LAN and Test LAN with IP pools). After creating the Recovery plan I do a “Validate” and it completes successfully on both site

Hi,I have recently deployed a pair of AHV clusters on a customer. Each cluster has its own Prism Central cause they are going to be part of a Metro availability environment with a witness VM on a third site.Now the customer is asking me if he could have some kind of overview and managing of both clusters from a single dashboard.I think that Nutanix Central could accomplish that request, however I’ve never deployed it and I have some questions.Checking the documentation I see that you can deploy it onpremise by downloading it from each Prism Central marketplace. So I assume it will deploy a VM appliance on each cluster (similar to prism central) and I should have to config it.Are there any specific tips that you could provide before deploying it?By the way, both clusters have PC 7.5.0.5 and AHV 11, everything is up to date, so I assume there is no incompatibility with nutanix central.Thanks in advance!

Currently we are running VM’s workload in VXRail VMware, these VM’s replicating to Azure cloud using recovery vault.Now these VM’s migrating to Nutanix native AHV environment.Please advise how to replicate VM’s from Nutanix to Azure cloud using which tool,Thanks in advance.

HiImagine you have two AHV clusters that are Active-Active (each site has live VMs on it). They are both connected and they are doing Metro-Sync between them.Now you want to move some VMs from one site to the second site. As far as I know I could perform that migration by using MOVE or by doing a manual failover of a protection policy. Is there any way to do a “live migration” between clusters without shuting down any VM?Also, is there any way to do that even if you have Async migration?I have found this but I understand is only talking about migration between nodes): https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/solutions/details?targetId=BP-2029-AHV:nutanix-ahv-live-migration.htmlThanks

Hi Guy’s I'm trying to update our Dev environment which runs on community edition, and AOS, NCC etc all working via LCM, for the AHV though it will just keep failing every single time.It just goes round in a loop watching from the ilo, it first does choose AHV re image, the it reboots and get to that same screen and then just boots to current AHV OS.So is there a way to do this manually without it affecting the CVM’s config running on them?ThanksMark
