Hi everyone,I want change current CVM memory size from 32GB to 40GB (AOS 5.15, NX model)but when I select Configure CVM in the Setting page,there is no option for 40GB from dropbox (only 36GB, 48GB and 64Gb)But when I checked on other Nutanix cluster (AOS 5.20, HX Model)I can choice 40GB from dropbox.So is it behavior change from 5.15 to 5.20? or It depends on Hardware model (NX vs DX)Ref URL: CVM Memory ConfigurationAnd if I want to change CVM memory to 40GB, I must using CLI?

I have a few systems to rebuild from baremetal. They are all secure boot enabled and to disable this I have to go onsite to change a jumper.Foundation dosen’t seem to be working which I am assuming the phoenix boot just gets skipped as its not uefi enabled. Is there a version or a process I can use to bare metal build these systems. I can easily install esxi manually if required.Just trying to avoid a trip into a covid zone to change a jumper if i can avoid it.

Prism Central pc.2021.5 added the ‘Resiliency Status’ to the Storage widget which is a cool idea. However all of my PE clusters in this widget show as Unknown with a callout that reads “Details are unavailable in Clusters < 6.0”.Looking at the latest downloads available online I do see a version 6.0 of AOS for the STS release path so I assume that we’ll have a wait a little while longer for us LTS customers.  

Hi, I’m new to nutanix upgrade. I would need to upgrade my HPE nutanix server firmware. Yesterday I’ve perform inventory and the LCM upgraded to 2.4.2 I checked the server firmware such as bios still remain same? Am I missing some steps?

We have 2 Nutanix clusters running with the ESXi Hypervisor. We’re using Metro availability to replicate datastores\containers between clusters. We’d like to replicate some of the VMs that reside in these Metro enabled containers over to a potential 3rd site.  We were thinking to use Async replication for this.Is this possible and is it supported?I ask this because in the “Conditions For implementing Asynchronous Replication” guidelines there is a condition that states “Multiple protection domains cannot protect the same VM.  Configure one protection domain to protect a VM”.

I am new to Nutanix.  Is there any video available to learn the installation of Nutanix cluster from scratch? Also how to add a new node or recover a node from failures?

Hi, AHV is based on KVM, but I can't find any documentation that states that you actuelly can run/move KVM VMs on AHV. Can anyone confirm this? We have a customer who wishes to move their KVM VMs to our AHV environment. :) So we want to confirm that it is possible. Best regards Peter

Hi Guys,I received a free voucher for NCP-MCI as part of completing the NPC-ECA course.Now when i am scheduling exam, it has redirected me here PSI Online - One stop Solution for Test Takers (psiexams.com): Im unable to see or schedule the exam. I’ve added the required exceptions in my browsers(chrome, edge) as per User's Guide to Taking a Nutanix Certification Exam - ds-users-guide-taking-nutanix-cert-exam.pdf but still cant get to see anything on the PSI online dashboardI would be glad if someone could guide me, as I’ve already tried & still trying but no success.BestArjun N

Hi, Is there any best practices for nutanix with vmware on the container compression. Currently the containers is created with post-process compression. Is it better to choose inline or disabled it. My nutanix nodes are hybrid disk.

Hi All, I’m sorry because couldn’t find related k/b on mixed nodes compatibility/requirements in details.  Just wondering current latest platform supported for mixed nodes with different OEM hardware model in same cluster? For example: Existing we have 3 x HPE DX360 in same cluster and would like expand with different hardware model/family such as Dell XC family/NX family or HPE higher model like DX380 in same cluster? Appreciate it in advance. John.

The exam is complete, there is no historical examination record, and now the invoice can not be typed

Although I finished the NCA 5.15 Exam on 08.07.2021, my certificate was not issued. I hope the problem is solved.Hope I will get resolution asap

Hello,I have 2 questions about Storage:Can someone please explain the Deduplication option when setting up storage containers. Is this necessary or recommended? What is the purpose of a Volume Group? Currently we use the whole default storage container for creating disks and dividing out storage to servers. Recently some users have wanted to reserve a few TB for video use and storage. I created a new “video” storage container tapping into the default container for the space. So when I attach the disks to the servers, I pull from this specific container. Would creating and using a Volume Group be better? I don’t understand the purpose of it.ThanksBrent

Can we migrate VM from KVM to Nutanix AOS using MOVE feature?

We are running our data center on AHV and would like to store backups in the cloud. (preferably archive tier). What options do we have?  From my understanding, we can leverage the use of VTL’s in the form of AWS storage gateway or Starwind VTL to push our backups to the cloud, but since my knowledge of VTLs and cloud are minimal, I’m struggling to find how to accomplish this. Can someone point me towards articles that will guide me through this? Specifically, I’m not sure how to make that connection from Nutanix to a VTL or storage gateway. Would iSCSI be involved? Any help would be much appreciated! 

Hi Everyone,One of the nodes of our cluster suddenly got disconnected. I was not able to ping initially, but after restarting the node and checking if maintenance mode is enabled. Connectivity was regained and all the IPs can be pinged from each other.  Even so, the cluster can’t recognize the previously disconnected node even when all pings are good. Tried restarting the cluster and the local CVM but the error below appears:nutanix@NTNX-A-CVM:192.168.50.182:~$ cluster status2021-07-13 07:34:46,652Z WARNING genesis_utils.py:1304 Failed to reach a node where Genesis is up.

Hello Families,i have configures nutanix File server on my environment and it’s up and running perfectly, now i want to create a directory inside my share and i use “/share/dir1/dir2” format but it keep saying “invalid share/export path”

hello all i am in this tight situation. as i have AOS PRO license i only can do is Async replication but i really need to make the RPO 0 so, i am thinking to leverage application level replication. for example in exchange application I want to leverage DAG replication method to be able to sync both main and DR site with RPO=0so my question if i do this configuration and take out my exchange server from any protection domain, do you think Nutanix would still give me support if the replication process have a fault after time?

Hi All, Would like to seek your advice/recommendation way to migrate physical linux/windows to Nutanix AHV via free tools ONLY without purchase third party tools or additional costs. Just wondering is there any tools that available for us or any alternative way without any additional costs?  We have some requirements;5 physical linux servers. 5 physical windows servers. Appreciate it in advanced. Regards,John

Dear Team,I want to finish my NCSE: Core Exam learning plan, but where can i get the assignment? Thanks, 

I changed AHV and CVM ips. But Nutanix File Analytics is still pointing to the old cluster ip. Does anyone has a guide howto change this so File Analytics is using the new cluster ip?  Deleting the file analytics and redeploy it is not working. As you first need to disable file analytics. But this is not possible as it gives the error that it cannot access prism (pointing to the old ip).
