Solved

When a virtual machine is created and a name is given, this does not necessarily reflect the operating system’s computer name.  Is there a way via the Prism API v2 to get not only the name as define in Prism but also the name assigned to the OS?Neither of these return the OS computer name:/vms/vms/{uudi}The Nutanix Guest Tools are installed.Is it possible via the API v2 (or even via the API v3) to get the actual OS computer name?ThanksGary

I'm going to change Windows 10 to Windows 11, so I'd like to see if I can use the Nutanix Prism web console in my Windows 11 environment when I upgrade, so where can I find the documentation or content?

Hi, did anyone manage to use this voucher?

Hi, i am new to this technology and have a new school coming on board running 3 NX-1065-G7 hyperconverged running windows 2019 vms for the school, what i am looking for is a learning / training path that will set me in good stead to gain an understanding and have the ability to support the servers in a day to day running.

my NX nodes having eth0 & eth1 is 10 Gig /  eth2 & eth3 is 1 Gig.we have created new bridge br1 with eth2,eth3 uplinks and created new vlan (vlan 17 ) in br1 for DMZ traffic.command used -: acli net.create VLAN-DMZ vswitch_name=br1 vlan=17current scenario is default br0 is in under vs0. Query -: Do I need to make a vs1 (vSwitch1) for br1? 

Hi,I'm preparing my graduation project on HCI - Nutanix NX, and I'm stuck with the fundamental components of Acropolis AOS. In some documents, they discuss DSF + AMF + AHV, but in most documents and publications AMF is ignored.

I have question about prism central, if I have Nutanix frame configured  what happen if my prism central VM went down? noting that I have only one prism central VM.

I would like to apply Host-VM affinity/anti-affinity rules. Some of these referenced hosts are currently in maintenance mode.Am I able to apply these rules while the hosts are in maint mode? If not, am I correct in thinking that once the hosts are taken out of maint mode, then I can apply the affinity rules, and the system will apply these rules (migrating VMs etc. where it needs to)?

Note 1: After the force cleanup process is followed, all PC-PE registration information will be lost. Any configuration of the PE (Prism Element) cluster within Prism Central will also be lost permanently and cannot be recovered.Note 2: Before unregistering the cluster from Prism Central, any Nutanix Disaster Recovery (Leap) configuration for the cluster being unregistered should be removed from Prism Central. Refer to KB 12749 for more details.What is the impact of VM in the process of removing PC from PE?Will the CVM service be interrupted?Thank you

Hi, I have a trouble to enable Nutanix Calm when I try to deploy it, I checked NCC and everything run well but in Calm the Precheck failed: “ PC to 0005e2ce-d78a-2724-0000-00000000e308 host cluster health check is not OK. Please check if cluster is accessible from PC ”.My Prism Central version is 5.20.4.5 LTS - Starter License

Linux server requires NFS volume allocation. Volume allocation due to Nutanix Files configuration. The client company does not have a DNS server. In this case, I wonder if there is an error that can occur when DNS is set to an arbitrary domain name that does not exist.

I need to monitor Nutanix replication and one of the metrics is not having unprotected vms.Is there any way to list these VMs with nCLI or another command?

Sorry if I am asking a silly question. I would like to ask if I configured protection policy from Prism Central. I assume even PC is failed the replication should perform as is just that it would be appreciated if anyone could share some thoughts or documentation to support that.

I hate to duplicate questions, but the original was closed and I have yet to see an answer. Is it possible to schedule automated reboots/shutdowns with an AHV? Similar to what you can do in VMware vSphere with Scheduled Tasks: How to schedule a VM power state with AHV

I have started to code this but thought maybe someone might have already completed this. My issue is I have a windows server in AHV with 10 disk drives. When I get a call from my windows team to expand a drive they will give me the drive letter. However I cannot use that to map back to Nutanix AHV. So outside of coding a tool that will map these 2 systems is there a way to correlate what drive is what? I do not want to have to log into a VM every time I get this request if possible.

How to power on the CVM from AHV. It is showing power off  prism and power on option is greyed out.

Is there any kind of integration between Calm and VMware NSX-T? I would like to understand if there is the possibility to “completely automate” deployment of VMs (integration with vsphere) and network services.

We have a customer running AOS 5.10 with the newest version of LCM. For some reason, the AOS upgrades are not showed in the “updates” tab on the LCM software. The only thing that i do was run inventory (not runned since years). I understand there is an upgrade order… but i want to make sure if anything needs to be done to LCM shows this AOS upgrades.

I have a question about the new version NCC 4.X and AOS 5.20.X.When I upgraded the cluster from to AOS 5.20.2.1 from AOS 5.15. and NCC upgarde to 4.3.0.2. I found the the ping_hosts.INFO file in /home/nutanix/data/logs/sysstats has disappeared and I cannot check the latency between CVM every minute. There is only the ping_gateway.INFO file to check the latency between CVM and gateway. But there is also ncc alert that the inter_CVM_latency is high. So where can I check the detail latency information between CVM in the new verison?

I have a Nutanix AHV nodes and for the lab purpose i need to install F5 virtual appliance on this environment but i couldn’t get any guidence regarding the process of installing F5 virtual appliance on AHV.

Good day dearsI have 2 nutanix blocks, each 3 nodes , I have the following questions:I have vSphere license and I want to install it on the nodes, I only have prism element ( don`t have prism center) , should this work or I have to buy vCenter? While connecting the nodes to the same switch besides the firewall, should the switch be on access mode in order to Discover the nodes while using foundation, or I can segment the nodes through VLANS?

I want to Migrate AHV Cluster all VMs in to ESXi on Nutanix Cluster, can you please confirm which solution we used for further activity.

Can I mount NFS to store nutanix snapshot files? If so, how can I find the location of snapshot files.

Hi, When I try to open the Files console, I can see the following error: Actually I don’t know why the url is 127.0.0.1. I think it stopped working after upgrade Files to v4.Thank you.

In the recent version of Prism Central, I am no longer able to configure per-VM affinity rules.  I now have to create global affinity policies based on categories.  I can see how this is helpful, but it also add a lot of complexity for basic affinity situations like this:I have two VMs dns1 and dns2 and a four host cluster.  The two dns servers should never live on the same host.  Super easy to do the old way.  But how do you do it this way?  Would I create a category called `DNS` with `primary` and `secondary` as values?  Then create one policy for primary that has host1 and host2 and create another for secondary with host3 and host4?What about a three-vm cluster?  How would you ensure they balance onto separate hosts?
