Solved

These days I’m managing, for one of customer, the migration of its virtual infrastructure to a Nutanix AHV farm from an old ESXi. It has some old VMs, with Windows XP as guest OS, that have to be migrated in Nutanix. Those VMs have installed custom software that cannot be installed in newer versions of Windows because they have been written in old VB6, so my question are:Can they be migrated over AHV? If yes, can I manage the migration with Nutanix Move or there is another way?

I gave this exam and was told that results would be sent over email, I haven’t received the results yet, can anyone guide me here?

hello Everyone , Is there  are any NCP v5.15 Discount codes for public users? Thanks 

Hi! have a Project in Prism Central that's acting wierd.When i try to update the Project trough GUI i get this error message:Edit conflict: please retry change.Notification { "api_version": "3.1", "code": 409, "kind": "project_internal", "message_list": [ { "message": "Edit conflict: please retry change.", "reason": "CONCURRENT_REQUESTS_NOT_ALLOWED" } ], "state": "ERROR" }So i connect with SSH to a PC CVM, and try to delete the project trough nuclei,<nuclei> project.delete Project \Name confirm=trueConfirm deletion of project? (yes/no) yes{ "message":{ "kind": "project","code": 409,"message_list":[ { "message": "Edit conflict: please retry change.", "reason": "CONCURRENT_REQUESTS_NOT_ALLOWED" } ],"state": "ERROR", "api_version": "3.1" } }It is only the specific project that has this problem, other projects works just fine. I have searched KBs but cant find anything. The ncc health_checks run_all are not showing up anything suspicious.  I have also opened a case on this error!

Hi All,Just after some advice.  I’ve run the default ‘Four Corners Microbenchmark’ against 2 x identical All Flash clusters and I get very different results and not sure why.The average random read IOPS differ by around 60k, and the random write IOPS around 10k. I know running the test on both clusters will not provide an exact match, but these results appear very different.  Please note these are both 2-node clusters, both are identical in specification so not sure if this matters.I also get the same on 2 x identical 6-node Hybrid arrays, random read IOPS differ by 200k and random write IOPS by 40k!The same X-Ray appliance was used on all clusters, using the default settings in the test itself.Just after a possible explanation to these queries, if somebody could be so helpful.Thanks very much.

Just curious how other users running AHV plan their ad disaster recovery?  AHV does not support VM-Generation ID so it looks like the most straight forward method not including additional software would be to use the builtin server backup to backup and restore at least the server with the fsmo role.  I wonder what happens in a protection domain scenario especially if there are multiple servers.  Seems like there could be usn rollbacks issues.  Any input on how others are doing it would be appreciated since the documentation seems to be scarce for AHV.

Hi, I am always taken care. I use CloudConnect by VPN connection to AWS and enable NW compression.Everyday repeat that.Since 1 year ago, All PDs are failed. below the message on Prism ;---Replication was skipped for protection domain XXXX of snapshot (X,X,X) to remote site XXX. Replication was skipped as a newer snapshot was available.---I executed cli on CVM, replication statuses are “Sending” .---$ncli pd list-replication-status Replication Operation     : Sending And I did “Test Connection” on Prism was “OK”. What do you think this reason? Sincerely,

Hi,I am always taken care.I'll upgrade Hyper-V 2012R2 to 2016 on XC630 so I have some questions.・metadata(json) download from Nutanix Portal. Can I do that Hypervisor ISO file there ?・What difference are metadata(json)  each ? ・Use Hypervisor ISO file of Evaluation version, is it OK?・ISO's language adapt any languages? or English only? Sincerely,

I am looking to replace my SSL certificates on my Prism Central and Prism Element deployments with Lets Encrypt wildcard certificates. I can request the wildcard certificates easily enough sudo certbot -d example.com -d *.example.com --manual --preferred-challenges dns-01 --server https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory certonly I get generated three files: privkey = /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem chain = /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/chain.pem fullchain = /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem Can anyone advise what openssl commands I can use to convert these .pem files to the required format needed for Prism Central/Prism Element? I have attempted multiple commands from https://www.sslsupportdesk.com/openssl-commands/ but I can't seem to find the exact one. I can also grab the intermediate/root certificates from here if I need additional certs. https://letsencrypt.org/certificates/ I'm looking to ultimately find a way to scrip

I created a Project in Prism Central and assigned a bunch of users to it, expecting them to be able to provision their own VMs with cloud-init configs customised to their liking.I found this awesome example code https://www.nutanix.dev/code_samples/create-linux-vm-customised-with-cloud-init/ which shows it can be done with API calls, however, as a user in the Project, there does not seem to be any options in the PC UI that allow me to specify a custom script when creating a VM.Are custom scripts deliberately hidden when using Projects? How are my users supposed to customise their VMs?

I’m looking for a way to expand storage a 6-node VMware cluster (ESX 6.7 U3), adding one or more Storage-only node could be an option. But, as I know, Storage-only nodes come with AHV, so I’d like to understand how I could add those nodes to the existing cluster.Trying to picture the idea, I'm assuming that SO nodes would work as new storage pool and cannot be expanded the existing one, am I right? I'm looking for documentation that give me some direction about the idea I have in mind.Any idea about this? 

Hi,I use vSphere6.0 U3 on NX series and set AsyncDR replication to AWS.Some protection domain’s AsyncDR are errorred after VCSA has broken and re-deploy.Are AsyncDR and vCenter  depend on each ?Sincerely,

When trying to move from esxi to AHV of a VM with OS Debian 10, I get an error This VM is not on the AHV supported OS list. To proceed with migrating this VM, please be sure to bypass guest operations and take care of installing AHV device drivers separately. This VM has a guest OS which is not supported on ESXi. Please remove the vm from the migration plan if migrating to ESXi. Is it OS not supported?

Hi Community, I want to know how many time is necessary run the collector in the environment of user. In the manual and video about collector, doesn’t said it. The excel file is create immediate? Or, is necessary run many days?

Hello All,I have successfully installed Prism Central and it has been working well. I have configured a “view” under the focus button in the vm’s menu; however, this setting will not stay once I log out and back in. Currently the process is once I log back in I need to click on focus and pick my view. Is there a way to make that my default view? Maybe tie the view to my user account? I have included and image below to help.  Thanks,Scott

One of my physical disks failed because it had a loose connection in the drive bay. Where do I reset a flag for the failed disk or something similar that Nutanix tries again with the same disk?(xpost: https://www.reddit.com/r/nutanix/comments/j4jl4f/how_to_reset_failed_disk/)

I attempted several times to move a test VM over and I am running into a issue with the Mount Container process. Is there a fix for this. I suspect it to be an Firewall issue, Any help would be appreciated.Failed VM Migration: prepare target: [[Location="/hermes/go/src/tgtagent/ahvtargetprovider.go:567", Msg="Error creating target path [Container="default-container-90861820611740", Err="exit status 32", Location="/hermes/go/src/libcloud/prism/ahvmountimpl.go:146"] Container mount failed (error=0x4012)"] Target agent error (error=0x4003)]

Hi, I often get the error of: Warning : Disk space usage for /home on Controller VM... Does anyone have a definitive list of what needs to be deleted beyond the installation files? or a script that deletes the un-needed files? Surely it is something Nutanix should be building in to the system, I never have problems with VMware running out of installation space! Thanks Eric
