https://next.nutanix.com/how-it-works-22/network-segmentation-basics-38414It seems the network segmentation 2.1 doesn’t support the isolation physically between the backplane and management. So, it tries to isolate logically following this procedure.ISOLATING THE BACKPLANE TRAFFIC LOGICALLY ON AN EXISTING CLUSTER (VLAN-BASED SEGMENTATION ONLY)https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Nutanix-Security-Guide-v5_15:wc-network-segment-on-existing-cluster-wc-t.htmlAOS5.15.1 / ESXi 6.7u3 Standard vSwitch, vSwitch0 Port Gourp: Backplane Network, CVM Backplane Network (for CVM)it doesn’t recognize any port groups.The procedure doesn’t mention about the vSwitch0 or port group condition. Is there any information of this?Thx,

Are there plans to validate a version of VMware’s ESXi hypervisor that addresses recent vulnerabilities outlined here; https://www.vmware.com/security/advisories/VMSA-2020-0023.html The proposed version to address this threat is ESXi670-202010401-SG for existing 6.5 hosts or ESXi675-202010401-SG for existing 6.7 hosts. It appears that the latest json version for download from My Nutanix is 6.7.0 U3 - which is slightly older than the version being proposed to resolve the vulnerability. Thanks!

Anyone experience issues with Windows VMs, Server 2016 and 2019 in my case, not respecting a “Guest Shutdown” action if there hasn’t been any console activity for a while? This occurs with a Prism GUI shutdown or an API call to v2/vms/{uuid}/set_power_stateIs there a setting within Windows that is preventing this or is it a Nutanix issue? Thanks.

Did partners lose the ability to manually configure nodes?  I need to see available procs for a model and all of a sudden I don’t see a way to look at any manual configuration options.  This isn’t good.

I am having issues editing the scenarios, I’m working on with the below error message: Advanced scenarios can only be edited by Advanced users. Basic users can view the Advanced scenarios in read-only mode.This editing and modifications worked for me last week, not sure what happened.

Hi.I’ve been trying to find out if I can use X-Ray to test other platforms (VMware and Hyper-V) or if I need to export the test (the “Four corners” in my case) and then use Curie to test the other platforms.There isn’t a lot of information on X-Ray and other platforms to be found though.Thanks.

Hi, Im planning to add 2 more blocks NX-3060-G6 with 2 nodes on each block. Currently i have 2 Block Nutanix NX-3060-G6 with 2 Nodes on each block.Current topology is 2 Block nutanix connected to Cisco 2960X with all eth interfaces connected to it. My question is, In NX-3060-G6 there are 3 Ethernet interfaces, 1 for MGMT (IPMI) and there are other 2 eth interfaces and 2 SFP+. For networking purpose,Do we need to use those 2 eth interfaces from each node in order to work? Or do we need to use only 1 eth interface only on each node? We’re adding 1 more switch Juniper EX4600, so if we need to use those 2 eth interfaces, can we separate them? 1 Eth interface to Cisco 2960X and the other goes to EX4600? Can i have different VLAN on each interfaces (exclude MGMT) that i connect to switch?Sorry if my question isn’t clear enough. But i hope you do understand it. Thank you.NX-3060-G6Networking Topology (Just for Eth Interfaces) 

Hi Team,Is there any current active Exam Voucher for NCP Exam. If any body has info , Please help to share, as I seen they are releasing the Vouchers to get more people learn Nutanix ( NCP) in this Pandemic.Please share if there is any active Exam Voucher.

Hello, I have passed my NCP-MCI 5.15 exam today. Please guide me where to downloads my exam certification.

ESXi 7.0 requires a minimum of 4 GB of physical RAM. Provide at least 8 GB of RAM to run virtual machines in typical production environments.4GB only for the HOSTAnd about AHV?What is the minimum memory for AHV only?, without CVMs and VMs

Hi All, Does anyone know if it’s possible to pass variables into the ‘Custom Script’ / cloud-init section, when creating a VM in AHV via Prism Element?Ideally, I’d like to use the REST API to create (clone) a VM from a template, and pass a ‘Custom Script’ perhaps from an ADSF path, that is able to configure the guest’s Hostname / FQDN based off the VM’s name specified in the REST API call.IPAM and some basic cloud-init config is working, just trying to determine the best way to set the hostname!

Whenever I take snapshots from Prism Central it shows under Recovery point but not under Snapshot. Not sure, if both are same Thing. Also, recovery point give an option to “Replicate” , whereas Snapshot give an option to “Restore”….are both same?

We have added Dell Switches to see the Interface information and where our AHV hosts are connected through Network Tab.But, I am able to see Interface only on One Switch for one host, not on others. I see below. Is there anything we are missing.  

 Our datacenter experienced a power outage yesterday and when power was restored Nutanix powered up and everything was operational (Yay!). I've been attempting to find the setting that told the nodes to power up after an event like that rather than stay powered off. On desktop systems I know the BIOS has settings for power events like that but cannot find it in the IPMI web interface. Is there somewhere else I should be looking? Thanks.

I scheduled my NCP 5.10 using my Nutanix partner voucher. The exam is retired and the system cancelled my exam. I’m trying to find my voucher again to schedule an exam again for NCP 5.15, but unable to find my voucher in my partner portal. Please help

Hi Team, Today I scheduled to write NCP-MCI 5.15 exam through online PSI proctor exam . after verification proof it redirected to another page where only saw "View Camera and Desktop" as there was no "Share Camera and Share Desktop option to press" . my Proctor asked me to refresh to connect since he wasn't see some option after refreshing the live chat session was disconnected and the even page was blank as only was able and tried several times and result was same . so only thought to exit and to connect it back unfortunately was entire was closed and I didn't see any option launch the exam again. Please help to write the exam again.

I had finished my Nutanix MCI certification three weeks back and didn’t get my digital certification. Kindly advise how long it will take to receive the digital certification

Hello,i have some questions regarding “Switch stacking”1-) Is it possible to use " 2 stacked switches " as TOR with AHV? there will be a problem if we use this configuration?2-) The best practice is to use 2 Stacked switches or 2 individual switches?We plan to use Active-Backup configuration and conect SFP to Switch1 and the other SFP to Switch2I am not a network specialist so i am not sure if both switches are stacked, and we plug 1 SFP to SW1 and the other SFP to SW2, the active passive configuration will work

Hi, I am working on an integration between Nutanix and Citrix but stuck at the moment at this point: Where in the Citrix Cloud can I find these values?Kind regardsChristian

Hi all,I wanted to register Prism Central in my cluster. I need to set the inital password, that I am aware of. My problem is no default password I found works.I tried these:admin/adminadmin/nutanix/4uadmin/Nutanix/4uDoes anyone know what the right default password is for the latest version?Kind regards Christian

Hi, I have one CVM out of space in /home, I have seen that I have the file localhost_access_host.txt with almost 20GB.Could I rotate or delete this file?In another CVM I don’t see this file.Regards,Antonio Maeso

If i want to cancel one exam which is scheduled, cancelling will give me Voucher back???

Hello,have you guys ever configure a 4 SFP + Nutanix cluster with AHV? i understand that the 4 SFP + will be configured as active-passive in a same bond... but only 1 SFP should be used. There is a better way to configure network on AHV to improve and use the other SFP+??? i mean, for example, separate the traffic between user VMs and CVM (storage traffic)

While learning AHV I’m a bit confused on a few things as it relates to vStores and Remote Sites. What is the purpose of a vStore and how do they differ from Containers? What are the implications of mapping a Site-A’s vStore (Container-A) to Site-B’s vStore (Container-B) that has running VMs in it? What are the implications of not including all VMs from within Site-A’s Container-A in a Protection Domain and failing-over said PD to Site-B?      - Will the unprotected VMs from Container-A continue to run in Site-A?      - What happens when I fail-back the PD to Site-A? Let’s say I’ve mapped Container-A (Site-A) to Container-B (Site-B). If I create a Protection Domain that contains VMs from Container-A2 (Site-A), how does this factor into my vStore mappings between sites? Thanks for the assist!

Looking for advise, Trying to add a Hyper-V host to Move 3.5.0, but just getting the following error and nothing else, Hyper-V operation [Get Process Info] failed. Getting no other alerts/Errors.
