Solved

I’m new to Nutanix so bear with me if this has been asked. Is it possible to simulate a x-over cable between two VM’s? basically I want any traffic leaving a load balancer to be passed via layer 1-2 to a WAF appliance so it can be inspected. The WAF is in transparent mode and won’t have an IP Address. In the past with physical machines i would just cable them inline. 

Dear All,May I have a question about the below situation?RF=23 node cluster2 x disks failure in same nodeMay i know whether the cluster will be corrupted or not? From my understanding, it should not be corrupted as 2 x disks failure in same node (NOT different node).

The REST API for creating vm clone is working fine but after vm cloned. It was in powered off state.Is there any way to set power on state via API 3 (in API 2 it was there, but its old and deprecated not work)ORAny other way to create VM or clone so that it will be in power on state after vm creation.

Hi All,Current environment (~40 sites & HO) do not have any 10GbE switches and we are planning 2-node clusters per site. If using 2 x 1GbE Nic for the management like a witness communication, can we connect ESXi nodes using  10gbit ‘direct cable’ to support the workload for all VM traffic, vMotion, vmKernel, and Nutanix and most important, two node disks datastore? It should be not any issue for the Nutanix/VMware level, Switch is on L2.

Can I change IP or VLAN in IPMI after Foundation that will be concern or affect to AHV environment?

Good afternoon, all!I’m setting up a new PKI infrastructure in a Nutanix cluster and I want to shut down the root CA for safekeeping. Is there a way to add some safeguards so that the VM can’t be started inadvertently?

HiI’m using Nutanix Prism Central v3 API and I want to run the API call referenced here:https://www.nutanix.dev/reference/prism_central/v3/api/categories/postcategoryquery/to get the category information.I’m calling this API: https://<prism_ip>:9440/api/nutanix/v3/category/query, using Postman. My problem is filling the request body. The example at the bottom of the page shows this request body:{  "api_version": "3.1.0",  "group_member_count": 123,  "group_member_offset": 123,  "usage_type": "string",  "category_filter": {    "type": "CATEGORIES_MATCH_ANY",    "kind_list": [      "string"    ],    "params": {}  }} But the params property is empty and I can’t figure out how to fill it properly.It says in the description that it’s supposed to have “a list of category key and list of values”, but no matter what I try I either get an error regarding the json structure or this error: For a search specify the correct usage type. Can someone please provide an example of how to use this

hi,After login to prism , i open API Reference and login with credentions.Then i go to VMs-->Clone Section to clone vm via API.I get the vm uuid via two method which on i think i get same uuid1)ssh to cvm and giving “acli vm.list”2)While console url, using uuid=”string”Both have same uuid. So i used to clone vm via api but i get error as “Given input is invalid. VM UUID cannot be specified, use idempotence identifiers to get the UUID”I also tried get existing and create new idempotence identifiers but on executing it in clone vm it gives error “uuid not existed”.Please suggest me ,i think uuid is correct but then what causing the error.Please help.

HiIs there a way to check the versions of all Nutanix components in one view? “ncli cluster info” displays the AOS and NCC versions, but not those of AHV and PC. The AHV and PC versions may be obtained from the PC UI (in different places though). Further, the Nutanix release timeline shows AOS 5.18 as the latest, but the documentation has tags for 5.19?

Can i change default port of Prism Web Console i.e 9440 to 443. Is there any documentation for it.So that my cluster public url looks Like : https://[clusterip or domain]/consoleIn most places port 9440 is blocked that’s why i want to change it.

Hello, I created a custom role in PC to allow users to manage and create VMs. However, I am unable to add users into the custom role and it seems that it cannot even find the user that I created when I’m at the new user section. I’ve seen in some video tutorials that it will suggest a user once you start typing in the name but in my case it kept saying No results.Just for added info, I am able to login to the new user that I created.

Hi,Is there any ETA for Nutanix Guest Tools for Debian 10? Debian 11 is probably going to be released this summer, so it would be quite nice if NGT supported Debian 10. Or is there a way to “forcefully” install Nutanix Guest Tool on newer systems? Is it possible to build it ourselves to we can distribute it on our thousands of VM’s that is running?

Hello,I am trying to read Nutanix OOB device information into ServiceNow. Is there an API that I could use to retrieve the OOB (IPMI) information from the host machine? Or Would executing SNMP commands on the IPMI help with my ask?

Hello,Seeking for advice, I have 3 nodes cluster having problem with node B DIMM is undetected. I’m planning to reseat my DIMM, if I will just manually move the VMs to node A and C then perform a shutdown on node B without entering maintenance mode does the VM will join back to node B?Can please also share a link to a document to refer for the procedure.

Hi all,I have a small question.For the pre-installed AHV nodes with CVM, could we able to upgrade only AOS version before creating cluster? Because the AHV version already same version as our desired version, but AOS version is not same.  I know the way to re-install AHV and AOS by Foundation VM, but the way takes long time. Therefore I' d like to update for only AOS if we can.In the other hands, we can upgrade AOS  from Prism UI so I will able to upgrade AOS after creating a cluster. So this question is just for my reference.My environment is belowAOS : 5.15.2 (want to upgrade to 5.15.5)AHV : 20170830.434

If I want to migrate Linux (Centos,RHEL,Ubuntu/SUSE) Vms from VMware to AHV using Nutanix move then is below information enough.Below are the configuration settings to look out for when migrating a Linux VM using credentials. Ensure ssh localhost using only password authentication, ie. set “PasswordAuthentication yes” in sshd_config Ensure using sudo, user assume root privileges without entering a password Ensure read and write permission for /tmp. root access, sshd service running If this is correct then I can normally migrate the Linux VMs same as I migrated the Windows VM?

Hi,I would need some guidance on enabling Aide on AHV and CVM and strong password policy for the hardening.I found the guide on this link: Hardening Controller VMIf I enable the AIDE on AHV and CVM. Is there anything need to be done? Additional appliance to deploy?

I have a Nutanix cluster with 4 hosts and 4 blocks. Is it possible to remove two nodes from Cluster ?

Hi,I cannot expand the cluster when Pre expand-cluster tests were failed and error message was "Failure in pre expand-clustrer tests.Errors:Failed to get vlan tag of node:XXXXX" on Prism Element.CVM and HyperVisor Network use Tagged VLAN and PortChannel in L2 switch ports.Ping to HyperVisor’sManagement IP from other NW segment is OK.Of course, CVM and HyperVisor’sManagement IP are same segment.Should  I do any other? As below, each of versions.・DELL XC640・AOS：5.10.6・ESXi：6.7 Update 2 (Build 13006603)
