Dear All,I’ve got a question?I am in the process of Moving Windows machines from a VMWare infrastructure to Nutanix.1 of my machines to a USB dongle for an application license.Could you tell me if it is possible to mount a USB dongle in nutanix like in VMWare?Thank you in advance

Hi all,I´m attempting to create one image from a disk stored inside a volume group.While I have succesfully tested image creation for standard disks using acli and api I didn´t find how to repeat the same task for disk stored inside Volume Group.As well documented here and in ther KB articles these sample commands works:ACLIacli image.create image-name container=default-container-nnnn source_url=nfs://127.0.0.1/default-container-nnnn/.acropolis/vmdisk/uuid image_type=kDiskImageAPI with curlcurl -X POST --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --header 'Accept: application/json' -d '{ "annotation": "cloned disk image", "image_type": "DISK_IMAGE", "name": "image-name", "vm_disk_clone_spec": { "disk_address": { "vmdisk_uuid": "UUID" }, "storage_container_uuid": "UUID" }}' 'https://PE-IP-ADDRESS:9440/PrismGateway/services/rest/v2.0/images/'But when I try to use the disk uuid of the disk inside a VG the commands fails both from ACLI than API.Any suggestion/workaround?Tha

Hi,A previous post by Jon from Nutanix stated that “Licenses are not tied to support agreements. Am I correct in assuming that support purchased/renewed for NX hardware covers both hardware and software support? Also is it safe to assume that the support level is not impacted by the license level on the node. For example, a node using AOS Pro license will NOT receive a higher level of support than a node using AOS Starter license if they both have production support. My understanding is that the only thing that impacts the support level is the type of support purchased, that is "Production Support vs "Mission Critical Support".   Thanks,--Zip

We are considering AHV for our environment. I notice that the OEM partner product list https://www.nutanix.com/partners/oem has fixed set of disks. Most of the hardware in the list are capable to be installed with more disks. For example Fujitsu servers are capable of 12 x 3.5 + 4 x 2.5 (on the rear),Can we utilize all disk slots in a configuration like 12 x 4TB NL-SAS + 4 x 1.92TB 2.5” SSD or 4 x 1.6TB NvME ?

Is there anyway I could get all the task or activity of a particular VM? 

we are configuring protection domain, we can see there one option in entity protected/unprotected. can anyone please explained what is the use?

Hey all -We removed 2 nodes from 1 cluster and want to add them to another.  We disconnected from vCenter and then removed them from the cluster using PE.  When they were relocated to the new location, the vlan is the same and they could keep their same IP addresses, but the new cluster could not see them.  It sounds like the customer had configured Distributed switches on the old cluster.  Do I need to undo some of that networking to see the hosts?  Would bare metal foundation be a better option and put AHV on the nodes?  That is our next route, but I still think there is a problem with the network configured in ESX even for that.  Is there any documentation around undoing the vmware networking for bare metal?  With factory nodes, I would have just added them to the same vlan and assigned IPs using crashcart and then the cluster should have seen them.  Help!

Hi,First time attempting to install Nutanix. I’m experienced with VMWare, but I wanted to try out Nutanix, mainly as I read it will allow me to create a single-node cluster, using locally attached NVMe disks without the overhead (headache) of vSAN (that doesn’t work as a single-node).Running through the installer, I see I have to specify an AHV (equivalent of ESX?) boot disk and CVM boot disk that requires a disk of at least 200GB. If I understand correctly, CVM is the equivalent of vCentre Server (VCSA).Firstly, can I install this CVM somewhere else?Secondly, I don’t have a separate disk of >=200GB that I want to waste on CVM. I have a 128GB SSD that I would have used for data, but the installer won’t let me and I can’t use it for CVM either because it’s too small. If I can’t farm off the CVM to another device, is there a way to override this limitation? Even fat old VCSA only uses 72GB across its 13 disks. What is in CVM! These are my disks. As you can see, to install CVM on its o

Does anyone knows size of VM’s snapshot file? I am concern about disk space, but I also need to back up. Is there formula for calculate snapshot file size approximately?   

日本語フォーラム初投稿＆質問になります。よろしくお願いします。 Nutanix関連でベストプラクティス的なものをググると、"doc-" で始まるファイル名のPDFが時折ヒットします。この内容が、単に英語版マニュアルやKBを翻訳しただけではなく、要点を簡潔に解りやすくまとめたうえで日本語化してあり、とてもありがたいものでした。最近気付いたのですが、過去に拾ったPDFでも似たファイル名のドキュメントがありました。いままでに見つけたのは、以下3点です。https://www.nutanix.com/content/dam/nutanix/ja/documents/support/doc-licensing.pdfhttps://www.nutanix.com/content/dam/nutanix/ja/documents/support/doc-node-restart.pdfhttps://www.nutanix.com/content/dam/nutanix/ja/documents/support/doc-aos-upgrade.pdfいずれも同じフォーマットで、URLも同じ場所なので、このシリーズが他にもあるのではないかと思いました。もしあるなら、全部見てみたいです。内容的に、おそらく日本のサポート担当にて作成されたのだと思うのですが、このドキュメントの一覧のようなものはあるのでしょうか？情報ありましたら、お知らせいただけると幸いです。  

I had taken psi exam (NCA) on 2/01/21 until now I haven't received my certificate and badgeSuper Delay ! . Nutanix badge and certificate is a nightmare. I haven't experienced such delay from any certification companies. Nutanix is very bad to release certification and badge .It s everyone's complaint Hope I will get resolution asap

Hi! I've got several questions about the usage of v2 API which I have not been able to solve by myself after looking a little while.on some endpoints, for example, GET /alerts, GET /vms and a few more things are functioning for me as expected, but on other endpoints, such as POST /vms/{uuid}/set_power_state I am receiving the following response:{ "message": "Access is denied", "detailed_message": null, "error_code": { "code": 1100, "help_url": "http://my.nutanix.com" }}any idea what's causing it? I've been searching for detailed information on your error code (such as 1100 listed above) and couldn’t find. Is there any documentation to the error codes that  you can send me a link to?Also, in a few of the API endpoints I couldn’t understand exactly what is the expected query parameter to be sent.2 examples of endpoints I felt I am lacking knowledge what exactly meant to be sentGET /vms filter: Filter criteria - semicolon for AND, comma for OR. where can I find what counts as fi

Hi.I’m setting up SNMP in Nutanix for inventory purposes and in the inventory tool I need to specify which level of AES to use; AES-128, AES-192 or AES-256.I’ve tried all of them and still can’t get any information out of the cluster.If I use a tool like Paesslers SNMP Tester I can connect, but I don’t know what version of AES that uses either.

Hi, I’m new on the Data protection feature. I’ve done the a test VM migration to another nutanix cluster. The thing is after the migration, the VM on the source will be destroyed. I’m planning to use the Data protection to migrate the VM from the source cluster to the target cluster. I would need to failback the VM to the source VM. Am I able to restore the VM on the source site? 

Switch engineer changed vlan (vlan id). Is it possibly auto update in nutanix arp table? if not, what kind of command require to do? 

When I try to run the Nutanix foundation applet, Java tells me that the file does not meet high or very high security requirements and that it is missing a certificate. I can’t add it to the site exception list because the file: protocol is not secure. Some guidance would be helpful. 

I am facing an issue with the sizer while generating a budgetary quote.  Help please! 

Hi All,Does anyone know that veeam can directly add prism central(AHV) for backup?

 Hi Team, I received an email from Xtribe that Certification exams are free Today & Tomorrow. When I am logging into the portal, I cannot see anything regarding the same.Please advice.

Can anyone explain the function of the command “nodetool -h 0 ring” and also the explanation of its output, because I often see nutanix support using this command, i just curious function this command :D

Hi I deploy a 3 nodes cluster with ESXi 7.0 as the hypervisor successfully on AOS 5.15.3.But when I run the diagnostic.py to check the  cluster performance. It always failed to boot the diagnostic VM. I tried 3 times and all is same. from the log, seems the CVM cannot reache the diagnostic VM when check the boot status.I login to vCenter and check that there is no IP address for this VM in the summary page. And I can login the diagnostic VM from the VM console, I can check the ip address which is 192.168.5.253, but I cannot ping 192.168.5.254 and 192.168.5.1. also cannot ping 192.168.5.253 from CVM.From this information, I think the CVM cannot reache the diagnostic VM and timeout, so the diagnostic.py will fail after timeout. Is there any idear for this test? I can run thie script successfully in ESXi 6.7.

I have 20 clusters under management of our Prism Central and would like to know the versions of NCC installed in each. Is there a way to singularly collect this info across all PE clusters? Perhaps in nCLI even?

So guys I’ve got a flexlm license server running Windows Server 2019 that I am trying to use Move to migrate into my AHV cluster.  I tried migrating it once and it blew up the license server since I guess it builds a unique machine ID using a disk and perhaps CPU ID. Any idea on how to clone this in Move so when it comes across FlexLM and other license daemons are none the wiser?
