Solved

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

We are migrating workloads from VMware (vSphere 6.5) to Nutanix AHV (AOS 5.15 LTS). With regards to VM templates, any advantage in creating new templates on AHV? Any gotchas if we migrate (as per procedure, prepare and use Nutanix Move) VM templates to AHV? Anyway, we will have to migrate most workloads, but was wondering about VM templates. We’re leaning towards erring on the side of caution and creating new templates (Linux/Windows) on AHV. However, I just wanted to know if anybody experienced issues with VMs built from migrated templates on AHV and any feedback.

I passed the NCSE-Core exam via psi more than a week ago. Nutanix University says I should get an e-mail and certificate in approximately 7 days. Suggestions? 

Can you explain the safest way to upgrade Nutanix files product please.  3 nodes cluster, with 2 files servers.  Current version 3.6 on Esxi 6.5 and AOS 5.15.4 LTS. I can have if needed a little down time to snapshot in vmware the Nutanix files VM maybe before the upgrade process?I got some commvault backup but it a long process to restore 7TB of files… so i want a quick and easy way to back off it the upgrade process fail.

Dear All,Can we use 1 G port for Hyper VM Traffic on Nutanix?

Is nutanix licensing tied to hardware?   use case for the question is a cold DR site.Scenario - VMs are backed up w 3rd party product and replicated to a DR site, e.g. SunGard,  and now its time to restore them for the DR test.If using Nutanix at this cold DR site, you have to build it from scratch before you can being restoring VMs to it, can the licensing used at the primary site be used for this?  or is the licensing restricted to the hardware it was installed on at the primary site?   

I used Rest API V1 to get the VM information. There is information named stats in the acquired information. But I can't find a description of the items in stats. Does anyone know the website or any information that has this information?

We are facing performance issues with Nutanix volumes configured with Oracle RAC physical nodes. The latency is very high (25-30 ms).  Anyone has any suggestions on this.

One of our customer upgraded AOS before prism central. What would be the impact of upgrading prism central after AOS considering it’s not the proper upgrade scenario ?2X3 nodes cluster : AOS 5.15.4 LTS ESXI 6.7U3 build 17167734 Prism Central 5.16

I’m trying to move a VM (Ubuntu 18.04), when the cutover is done and i make a console connection the VM, at first the screen is blank, but after a few enters, i start getting the following signs on the console:Anyone has any ideas how to avoid this? I’ve tried installing NGT prior to moving the VM - no luck. On the initial GNU GRUB screen where I choose which OS to boot, everything is fine.

Hi all expert,I have question on vdisk and volume group on VMpros and cons using vdisk? pros and cons using volume group?Let have a discuss on which is better for daily operation and maintenance. 

I have a question regarding private networks.  I have an NFS share that resides in the 192.168.20.x network, however my Nutanix public (Internet access) network is in the 10.10.2.x.  I need to create a network where my VM can talk to the NFS server.  I’ve reviewed some YouTube videos but they’re not very helpful.  Any better documentation out there?

Been having oplog errors for nearly 5 months now. I have read through the article: NCC Health Check: oplog_episode_count_check and I have been able to get the vdisk_id. The problem is that it not connected to any VM.  I have looked through all the disks connected to all my VMs and none of them are this disk. Running vdisk ls does give me this information though:     Name                      : 00054ce8-d482-d9dc-135d-1866da8ea766::NFS:2:0:457    Container ID              : 00054ce8-d482-d9dc-135d-1866da8ea766::1062    Container Uuid            : 75138a04-e025-4510-a9d1-05e319573732    Max Capacity              : 4 TiB (4,398,046,511,104 bytes)    Reserved Capacity         : -    Read-only                 : false    NFS File Name             : counters-4    NFS Parent File Name (... :    Fingerprint On Write      : none    On-Disk Dedup             : none Which doesn’t match any of the disks for my VMs.  The NFS File Name makes me think this is some kind of system disk or something.  Ca

HiI have a Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Installation on Nutanix AOS which serves as a template This Ubuntu Tempate installation is a basic Ubuntu installation (clicked through basic installation, cloud-init installed) Now i want users to be able to deploy a new VM as a clone from this Ubuntu template and passing via “Custom Script” option the cloud-init script in Prism GUIUnfortunatly this does not work - the “Custom Script” cloud-init instructions are not applied during creation of the clone.Do i possibly have to modify something inside the Ubuntu Template installation (ex. cloud-init datasource or similiar, /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg or whatever)?Doesnt matter where i look the existing documentation (cloud-init, nutanix, ubuntu) etc. seems to be rather incomplete.I had a working example in the past with Centos 7 deplyoment with Nutanix,cloud-init and deploying via Custom Script option in Prism element - but i cant get it running with UbuntuP.sI’m aware of this article https://portal.nutanix.com/page/d

Can a Nutanix Storage node contain more secondary VM copies than what would fit into the existing capacity on the cluster nodes disk? and if yes, how does one bring the storage node down for maintenance?  

I am using the newest version of X-ray (3.10.0) to connect to a vCenter (6.5U1d) to have some performance tests for my cluster. At the step 4 (Validation) of creating the target cluster, it failed to validate the cluster.Error: Target cannot be verified.After looking into the log, in the HTTP Response body, it contains the 500 Internal Server Error. Still cannot get what it means as everything seems fine and the connection from X-ray VM to cluster still has no problem at all.

May I know is there any command to change the vlan of the virtual network resides on vswitch br1?

Is there support for Cloudstack and Nutanix or drives for it to run.

I’m relatively new to Powershell and have been looking for the cmdlet get the Role Mapping information from a cluster. I’ve no issues connecting using Powershell I just cant find the correct cmdlet which will allow me to get the Role Mappings. My apologies if I haven’t placed this is the correct group.

I’m new to Nutanix and we have a Nutanix cluster online. For testing purposes I’m running diskspd test in a VM.I’m running some diskspd test with identical VM configs in several enviroments 3-tier Hyper-V/ VMware and HCI Nutanix AHV.Why is it that running a test with -Sh flag (no software/hardware cache) gives almost 10 times lower results in Nutanix compared to other platforms? Without -Sh flag Nutanix is running test with higher results compared to my other testing platforms. Is it because of how CVM is designed to work? I’m just trying to understand.

I am unable to delete a Citrix user profile which is hosted in Nutanix AFS share…Getting error as already in use by another program

I have read the documents and manuals of APC PowerChute Network but it is a scenario that doesn’t apply to mean. Apparently, someone sold to the customer a Vertiv Liebert GXT4 UPS. Liebert’s engineers concluded that the product couldn’t provide a graceful shutdown of the Nutanix cluster, while it could shutdown the ESXi on top.Is there anyone out there who had succeeded in performing a graceful shutdown without APC?
