Solved

Hi,Can you please help me with any recommendation and/or point me to any documentation around running Nutanix Files alongside other types of workloads (on ESXi)? I.e. server virtualisation, VDI, other Files instances, sustainability for resource contention, resource reservation, etc.While I do understand that in an extreme case of a dedicated HCI cluster where only FSVM-s are spread across the nodes, Files would surely perform well, I’m after more real-world scenarios, where Files still deliver.Thank you, Victor.

Hi Buddies!I would like to know if this possible to add GPUs card on a NX-8155-G6 hardware. I know that this model doesn’t came with GPU installed, but, is it possible to add it?

What is difference between classroom (Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Administration (ECA) [V5.15] (NUECA515)), online (Enterprise Cloud Administration) and online plus (Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Administration 5.15 Online Plus (NUECA515-OP))?I can’t check the instructor-led classroom material. I just want to know that these are same contents but different way to learn.

In the default AHV network schema, ther’s a connection between the AHV management and the virbr0. Can you explain me the purpose of that connection and the IP adresses used ?

Hi,I would like to configure anti-afinity on on the VMs. I checked this only able to configure thru command. To configure the rules, does the VMs need to be powered down?

If the clusters are related with prism central (so I should use v3), Can i use v2 to actions like: manage NIC, Attach/Detach Disks, manage snapshots from API v2?Is recovery plans is the same as snapshots here? I want to create jobs for automatic snapshots, but I do not see thios possibility in v2I am using the same account for api v2 and v3 actions, in production environment with my own IP, it will be the same host? It is specified in API Documentation, but I want to be sure if the host for both will be the same - eg. nutanixtest.com/v2… and nutanixtest.com/v3…Thanks!

I could get a ballpark idea when the next LTS be designated. Seems like its been awhile. I would like to get off the STS train.

I started a 1-click ESXi HyperVisor upgrade of a 7-node cluster which progressed well and had already successfully upgraded 4 of the nodes, when one of the hosts wasn’t able to enter maintenance mode because one of the VMs was spending too long consolidating a snapshot. After many hours had passed, the remaining 1-click update tasks all appeared to have aborted.  I manually resolved the issue involving the guest, and then started the 1-click update again.  It prompted for vCenter details, and then created new hypervisor update tasks to update the remainder of the ESXi hosts.These also completed successfully.All Hypervisor update Tasks appear to be completed, and all the ESXi hosts are updated.All NCC checks also pass OK.  The cluster is healthy, the Health Icon is green, and Data Resiliencey is OK.Howerver, the CVMs all still believe there is a Hypervisor upgrade in progress:nutanix@NTNX:~$ ncli host ls | egrep 'upgrade|99825' Hypervisor Version : VMware ESXi 6.7.0 build-1749

Hi, I already passed the NCA exam and I tried twice to pass the NCP-MCI 5.15 wo=ithout any success , its very frustrating, I been studying pretty hard the blue print and all the training material from the University website, but I found the test questions a little confusing most of the time, Cna anybody recommend a more practical study guide so I can FNALLY past this test? Thank you in advance.

Hello Everyone,Has anyone here run Sybase ASE in a Linux VM in AHV?   We have a few legacy physical servers that I’m looking to migrate into our AHV cluster.  I know it ‘should’ work but looking for a reference or reassurance from anyone who has ‘been there, done that’.  Thanks,Jim

I know that this question has been asked in this forum a few years back but I wanted to see if the answer changed since the newer releases of AOS.  In my case, I’m running AOS version 5.15.4 LTS and found that our 7-node cluster was configured for RF3 - although most of our containers are RF2 (the exceptions being the “NutanixManagementShare: and “SelfServiceContainer” containers).Since most of our containers are only RF2 I’m not too concerned about extra overhead but was curious if AOS now supports the switchback from RF3 on the cluster. 

Hi. I have a question while using Xi Frame.If I want to use the List active session and stop  session functions among the Xi Frame functions, what privileges should the administrator at least be given to use them??For detailed functions, please check the red underlined area in the attached photo.

Please advise me is it support Server 2019 Hyper V on Nutanix? I unable to Find the article on Nutanix Portal with server 2019? I am planing to migrate from Server 2012 hyper v failover cluster to 2019 Server Hyper V failover Cluster? Which AOS Version is support Server 2019?

We’ve migrated a handful of test VMs from our vSphere legacy architecture to Nutanix (also running ESXi)  Both on ESXi 6.5 and latest Prism/software builds, etc.  When using Nutanix Move to do the migration, we’ve noticed that the migrated VM is taking on GMT for its time when the VM boots up.  We are in Michigan so the VM is five hours ahead, but the local windows timezone Eastern. After logging in and/or rebooting, the time typically syncs up fine.  However, this proved to be a major problem when we moved a domain controller and it caused time to be off everywhere.   ncc health_checks network_checks check_ntp all comes back fine and our time sources are defined properly both in Nutanix as well as NTP oin the ESXi host.  What are we missing or is this a bug?

Hello All, I have created this great powershell script that makes VM’s in AHV. It has been a journey let me tell you, but I made it through. The one thing I would like to add to this is creating a vm with UEFI boot option. I know this needs to be done at creation and I can create it in the acli with the following: acli vm.create UEFIVM2 uefi_boot=true However; is there a way to do this with powershell? I will look at finding a way to wrap the ssh command above but it sure would be nice if it was just a parameter on the                         new-ntnxvirtualmachine cmdletIs there a way I can create the vm with UEFI with powershell? Thanks,Scott

I got some question from my college, He asked me when in prism. we set smtp server configuration. and also we set about alert email.

I have a couple of oddities going on, one is an ongoing and one was post latest PC2021. update.I was getting warnings that I was using the CVM default password so I chnaged it, it is supposed to replicate to the other CVMs but i get a health alert saying the remaining CVMs are still using the default password - any ideas why?And post PC update, i can log in using ssh but I can’t login to the web UI - I get the login screen , but after I enter username and password (not default) I get “server not available”  I have run health checks and idf checks and all seem to PASS - is there a bug in the latest PC Patch?  Just to note I can log into Prism Element with my name and password ok.Thanks in advance.

Hi,I have a small cluster of 4 nodes. Disk space usage for /home in all CVMs are increasing fast. After some investigation it appears that the /data/logs folder is taking majority of space, more specifically health_server.log file which is taking about 181gb now. 18133488        health_server.log.20201224-1413011144624 sysstats Does the health_server.log file keep collecting indefinitely, there must be a limit to this log file? Thanks.Beg

Hello everybody, i would like to remove a switch from the Network view in Prism Element, which also is no longer configured under Settings => Network Switch. The cluster was moved to different network a couple of months ago. So far I was unable to remove this old network swith from the Network view in Prism Element and it’s also no longer visible using ‘ncli net list-switch’ in CVM command line. There is only the existing switch configured under Settings => Network Switch. We use AOS 5.15.4 LTS currently. If I select ‘Go to Switch details’ when selecting the old visible switch in ‘Network’, I get an error => Switch with id ‘...’ was not found ! Any idea how I can remove such a switch, which is no longer available? Regards,Didi7
