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 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.

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.

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?
