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.

I have tried to schedule ncp-mci 5.15 using schedule exam (new) but in exam scheduler not showing this exam.

Hi,If we want to implement VMware horizon on Nutanix then we would need AOS installation with ESXi right ? We cannot have a cluster with Nutanix AOS + AHV and then implement VMware horizon ?Is there any guide and videos are available that can help.

While expanding cluster out of 4 nodes able to add one and remaining three nodes failed with error “Controller VM disconnected from network”Description:Controller VM  is not reachable from Controller VM  in the last 3 attempts.

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)

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

I'm writing a yaml file to create a pod. And i have to pass multiple json files into the docker container. How can i pass these files into the yaml file dynamically?

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。
