As a Nutanix partner, we are currently planning to migrate part of our workloads to the Nutanix infrastructure.We have already completed internal sizing for our environments and would like Nutanix's assistance to validate and optimize the sizing on Nutanix.Could someone from the Nutanix team or community guide us on the recommended process and tools for accurate infrastructure sizing?Thank you :)

When physically configuring the DR center, we plan to set it up through migration. Would it suffice if only the Prism VIP has network connectivity? Or should communication also be established between each node?

HiI've deployed a Nutanix Cluster AHV in a dark site. Im having the issue exactly described here:https://next.nutanix.com/installation-configuration-23/prism-central-stuck-at-76-vm-is-not-reachable-42437?tid=42437&fid=23 But the topic was closed without any solution so I have to search for it… In summary:After deploying the cluster I tried to deploy the Prism Central with no luck, it got stucked at 76%... AOS 7.3.1 + PC 7.3.1 The PC VM intially startas and answer by ping, however it is automaticaly restarted during the config process and it loses the net config so it gets unaccesible by lan When checking the Prism Element tasks, I see the Application Deployment task stuck atl 76 %. If I open the PC VM console to check its status I can see that it stuck on the OS boot and I can see several services such as auditd, ntpd, rsyslog, rc.localhowever it doesnt show the login prompt. If I manualy boot the VM it boots normaly (it shows the login prompt), but there is no lan configur

Hi everyone!Today the password of the our PC admin’s account expired. I looked for the setting that allow modify it in PC GUI but i didn’t found it. Also, appears an advise password expiration in a secondary superadmin account. How can we change or disable or change the pwd expiration in these accounts?Many thanks in advance for you time! 😀

We have a 4 node VMware-Nutanix cluster it has the following limitationsvCenter server is running on the same cluster and is not managing any other cluster Prism Central VM is deployed on the same cluster Nutanix Files is deployed on the cluster Prism Central  2022.6.0.6  AOS  6.5.3.7  File Manager  4.4.0  VCenter Server  7.0.3 u3n / 21958406  ESXi  7.0.3 u3l 21424296   I am planning to upgrade Nutanix Files to version 5.0 first.

When I ran Perform Inventory it created "LCM root task has been created" and it got stuck at 0%. When I checked I saw that there was a NCC alert for idf db to db sync, which was resolved by following KB-5582 and KB-13381. But the task is still at 0%. I need to upgrade Prism Central and AOS version so that it is again compatible with support.nutanix@NTNX-172-20-151-99-A-PCVM:~$ ecli task.list include_completed=falseTask UUID                             Parent Task UUID  Component  Sequence-id  Type          Statusdc01feaa-739c-4e69-4632-409e799d4c18                    lcm        146          kLcmRootTask  kRunning

Hello community. I am new to Nutanix, we just got a 3-node POC to evaluate a move off of VMware. Regarding Nutanix tools, it appears unlike VMware which the clone from template will keep a functional tools, Nutanix does not work that way. You have to install Nutanix tools after the clone or during the deployment. Is there a good KB or blog on this? We are very well versed in Red Had. We use Ansible and Satellite for our Red Hat management. I found a gzip for the Tools you can install, but how do you get it registered to the cluster? Is there a json file or something that we need to include in our clone that has the cluster ip, etc. Any help to get me started on this is appreciated. I will need to tackle Windows later, but I am not versed in Windows very well.Thank you!

Hello Nutanix community,I'm working on a cluster refresh project and need some confirmation on a compatibility issue related to API changes in AOS 7.3. The Details  Source Cluster (Old): AOS 6.5.6.1 (PE-Only, older G6 hardware, EOL soon). Target Cluster (New): AOS 7.3.1 (New hardware, registered to Prism Central 7.3.1). Migration Method: Nutanix Move (recommended tool). Goal: Migrate all VMs from the old cluster to the new one and retire the old hardware.  The Specific Concern: KB-19356 I found Nutanix KB-19356 which states that the V3 VMs PUT API is deprecated at the Prism Element (PE) level in AOS 7.3, which impacts Nutanix Move's ability to apply post-migration features like NGT, CPU Passthrough, etc., when PE is used as the target.My KB-19356 Summary:"The V3 VMs PUT API is deprecated on PE in AOS 7.3. This affects Move's ability to configure features like NGT/CPU Passthrough post-migration if PE is used as the target." My Proposed Strategy & Question Since my target clust

I’ve deployed Nutanix Files using Prism Central, but I can’t figure out how to properly shut down the File Server.When I deployed Files via Prism Element before, I could SSH into the CVM and run afs infra.stop to stop it, but that doesn’t seem to work here.Also, when I check the file server list from Prism Element, nothing appears—so I’m wondering if the CVM doesn’t recognize it as a File Server in this setup.I searched for information but couldn’t find any clear instructions for shutting down Files from Prism Central.If anyone knows the correct method or best practice, please share.Environment:Prism Central: 2024.3.1.2 AOS: 7.0.1.5 FSM: 5.2

We are currently running NKE and are looking to move to NKP but have a doubt about the subnet requirements.NKE is currently running with multiple Kubernetes Clusters in a single Subnet. Is it supported and valid to continue in this way with NKP? Ideally, we would like to build the NKP clusters in the same subnet as NKE for the migration work rather than commission a new subnet. The subnet is suitably large, and we use Calico CNI for Networking. 

Does anyone have a checklist for implementing NKP in a customer's Nutanix environment?

I am a newbie to Nutanix and after successfully installing CE 2.1 on generic PCs and would like to go beyond CE and want to get into the commercial product just to get acquainted in my home lab. Bought an used NX-1175s-G7 with only the original 240GB NVME stick on the motherboard but no SSDs and HDDs and memory. Installed on hand 64GB memory and tried with some drives but the installation is failing always at this point. If someone has the exact model, I appreciate if you give me the above requested make and model part numbers. There are the last few lines of the installer. Thanks."SystemInfo:0": { "family": null, "handle": 1, "length": 27, "location": null, "manufacturer": null, "product_name": null, "serial": null, "sku_number": null, "type": 1, "uuid": null, "version": null, "wake_up_type": { "__objclass__": null, "_name_":

I have 3 servers as nodes for Nutanix CE. On the 1st and 3rd node the installation was successful.But when try to install on 2nd node I get an error. All server the same Dell PowerEdge R640 and i has installation through iDRAC Virtual Media.Physical disk the same on all servers:Whan i has try to install first time on 1st server i has same error, but whan i convert disk to Non-RAID problem has resolved.But on 2nd node it does not resolve problem.Please help with this error.

Hello All, I’m currently looking for a way to create a template that has installed NGT tools because I’m encountered an issue of Prism Central not detecting the NGT Tools Status of the VM (P.S this VM is deployed by a template that have already installed NGT Tools).I want to know how I can create a template which doesn’t need to do further after deployed a VM (Windows or Linux so whatever). Please share your thoughts.Thanks,

Hello,customer has 2 clusters in different datacenters and a single node “cluster” within PRISM central (also Witness instance) at 3rd location.If he is going to upgrade the single node (firmware) he must shut down all UVM, PRISM central too.How may he get the PRISM central vm to start automatically when cluster starts?kind regardsThomas

Hi Everyone, I have a use case within the business where a team wants to be able to leverage nested virtualization.I’m currently running some test within our test environment but wanted to understand if there are implications from nested virtualization such as:Does having VMs within cpu_passthru=true have any performance impact on that node / cluster Live migration considerations Replication considerations 

related same to someone previously raised:https://next.nutanix.com/nutanix-kubernetes-platform-nkp-186/missing-a-file-in-nkp-air-gapped-bundle-v2-15-0-linux-amd64-tar-gz-44497?tid=44497&fid=186 currently i am installing NKP air gap bundle. I can see there is image (nkp-catalog-applications-image-bundle )“Missing a image in nkp-air-gapped-bundle_v2.16.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz ?”I can only see these 2 images. the 3rd one is missing.tried downloading trice, same issue.   

お世話になります。初歩的な質問となります。お時間あります方、お手数ですが以下についてご教示いただけないでしょうか。 ■質問①Nutanixクラスタを構成する際、異なるリソースのノード4台でクラスタを構成することは可能でしょうか？以下のような構成を検討しております。ノード1と2：CPU→8（世代A）メモリ→128GBストレージ→1TBノード3と4：CPU→16（世代B）メモリ→256GBストレージ→2TB※CPU世代は、世代Aの方が古いとする。 ■質問②構成が可能な場合、ノード3と4と同じノードを後から追加し、ノード1と2をクラスタから切り離すことも可能という理解で間違いないでしょうか？ 

We have a customer running the following Nutanix cluster setup:1 cluster with 4 nodes – Dell XC650 model, each node with 512GB RAM2 clusters with 4 nodes each – Dell XC640 model, each node with 768GB RAMThe customer plans to deploy VMs with 64GB and 128GB memory configurations.Could you please confirm:Is this a supported configuration for VM deployment on the mentioned clusters?Will deploying VMs of this size cause any performance impact on other workloads in the cluster?What are the best practices or guidelines to follow in this scenario to ensure optimal performance and resource utilization?

Dear folks, Nutanix KB 3523https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/kbs/details?targetId=kA032000000TUksCAGI followed the instructions under Option 2: Creating an ISO Using a Foundation VM (in case Option 1 couldn’t be performed), and used the following command to generate the Phoenix ISO:[nutanix@nutanix-installer bin]$ ./generate_iso phoenix --aos-package=/home/nutanix/foundation/nos/nutanix_installer_package-release-euphrates-7.0-stable.tar.gz --kvm=/home/nutanix/foundation/isos/hypervisor/kvm/kvm_host_bundle_**.isoThis generated a 6.91 GB Phoenix ISO with AOS version 6.10.1.1 and AHV included.Before booting the actual G9 nodes remotely via IPMI, I tested the ISO on a VMware Player VM. It installed successfully but only showed a Phoenix OS prompt—no CVM interface or cluster setup options appeared, which I understand isn’t the correct way to test it.This is my first time working with the Phoenix ISO. Is there an official document or guide that explains how to properly image a node u

i have installed Nutanix SE on a old HPE DX380 Node without problems. I can ping the CVM and AHV Host IPs and i have also ssh connect but i cant connect via Browser with the CVM IP. no matter what command I run via ssh it always comes: Error: Cannot connect to Prism Gatewayi tried to configure proxy, name servers but always the same problemWhat it’s wrong?Thanks for every hint/help

Hi Community,We are working on enhancing our automation flows in Nutanix Self-Service blueprints and would like some guidance on the best way to approach two things:Enable memory overcommit automatically for every VM deployed from a blueprint: Our goal is that VMs should always have this applied at deployment time without requiring manual adjustment later. Ensure category assignment is mandatory for deployed VMs: We would like to implement a check so that if a VM doesn’t have a category assigned during creation, the workflow requires a category before it can proceed. Is there a preferable script type or approach for implementing these checks and automations within Self-Service? Any suggestions on best practices - especially regarding script selection - would be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
