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,

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?

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

Hi, How much cost Nutanix Certified Associate 5.15 exam, it is correct 199 USD?It is not 99USD?ThanksRoby

I'd like to just confirm, is there any Nutanix web page that lists the supported browsers?The support page below that I bookmark is already deleted.https://portal.nutanix.com/#/page/docs/details?targetId=Portal-Help:sup-browsers-requirements-sp-r.htmlSo I searched similar page in Support portal, but I couldn't find.I know the browser requirements is not necessary information for many people nowadays. However that page is useful for us, so I want to refer substitute one if exist.

Hello, Regarding to this question https://next.nutanix.com/how-it-works-22/disk-fault-tollerance-8822, What will happen to VMs in a cluster with RF2 when 1 drive failed on 2 different hosts? Will be any data loss or no? Will VMs reboot?Thanks!

If I update update firmwares or softwares via LCM, is LCM update out-of-band? Or in-band? I can’t find any information in TN-2122 (Life Cycle Manager).

I posted this earlier in the wrong forum. (Sorry about that. I’m a newb.) I am reposing here. I cannot seem to find the the performance stats in the v3 API that are available by default in the v2 get APIs for vms, clusters, hosts, etc.? Are the performance stats available in v3? If so does anyone know the endpoints. I’ve searched but cannot find them. I suspect v2 is going to be supported for quite a while so I can just use v2 but didn’t what to rule out v3 until I had a good reason to.
