Solved

Hi,I'm looking up for a consolidated monitoring sheet if any available on Nutanix AOS and ESXI hyper-v integrated with some threshold applicable and severity will be really helpful. If someone has please share it.

Getting this error when I try to use putty/plink for any ACLI-related command:bash: ACLI: command not foundDoesn't seem to matter what acli “command” i run, even just running “acli” by its self gives the same error. I am able to run commands like “hostname” etc using plink/putty on the CVM. Feel like im missing something very simple here.Example command:putty $cvmIP -l $username -pw $password “acli vm.disk_get $vmname disk_addr=scsi.0”

We are transferring vdisks from one Nutanix environment to another.  We are going from Euphrates 5.5.8 to Euphrates  5.9. The copy seems to work but then after a while (maybe 15 minutes) the files in the new environment disappear. We’ve tried this several times with the same results. One vDisk is around 26 GB and the other is 2 TB. Has anyone seen this and what is the problem and the solution?

I have a lot of virtual machines running with latest Debian 10 distribution (version 10.2 and next 10.5).When will be available Nutanix Guest Tools for this distribution? It’s a mess to receive warnings everyday with the message of NGT not installed in these machines.

Anyone prepared and cleared the NCM-MCI exam and can share their experience on how to best prepare for it?

Helloafter reinstalling Prism Central (PC) from v.5.16.1.3 to v5.17.1.1, using the procedure for unregistering PCUnregistering cluster from PChttps://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Prism-Central-Guide-Prism-v5_5:mul-vcenter-server-unregister-pc-t.htmlwe have some strange issues:- A PC REST API query return 2 available cluster (one for PE and one for PC, with different uuid on metadata)It is normal for API 3.1? - On Nutaniy API Explorer a simle query of vms "POST /vms/list"With small payload for "get_entities_request"{ "kind": "vm", "length": 10, "offset": 0}returns { "api_version": "3.1", "code": 500, "message_list": [ { "message": "Internal Server Error.

I would to ask how can I get the details of Memory and DIMM slot available

Question: Does nutanix use Self Signed Cert or CA-cert by default?  

Can anyone let me know the release date of the LCM Framework  version 2.3.3 ?

We have to do a deployment of 5 HPE DX nodes with AHV as hypervisor. Is it mandatory to have the iLO ip address in the same subnet as CVM & Host ? If not then do we have to give 2 IP addresses to foundation VM ? Let me know if anything else is needed.

I'm looking for some advice.My company recently purchased a used 3460-G4. We're a professional services firm and we want to have it for our lab so we can stand up stuff like ERA, CALM, etc. and bang around on it. You know, lab stuff!We have been trying to Foundation (4.5.4.1 & 4.5.3.1) the block but I am running into a problem with Foundation failing when trying to mount the Phoenix image on the nodes. Here's how things currently stand:BIOS has been upgraded to latest recommended version on Nutanix Support site. (G4G5T6.0)BMC firmware has been upgraded to latest recommended version on Nutanix Support site. (3.64)Each node has x2 SSDs, which this system appears to recognize (I ran an ESXi installer on one of the nodes to test. The installers saw the drives)Each node has 64GB of RAM. The RAM is confirmed to be compatible according to SuperMicro's site.The Motherboard is the X10DRT-P from SuperMicro.IPMI has been set on each node and I can log into the IPMI mgmt page.At first I was wo

Hello NX, I have a question, is it okay if i will disable the SSL port of my Nutanix CVM's and management port? Because if shows vulnaribility into the scan. What would be the effect if i will disable those ports.. Thank you. 

Dear Team,My cluster is out of storage now,I have one Lenevo SAN Storage(V3700).can you please suggest how to utilize this storage with Nutanix AHV cluster. 

Hello everyone. I want to allocate IP to the cloned VM using sysprep through the blog address below.https://www.nutanix.dev/2020/02/06/customizing-ahv-vms/ However, the IP is not changed through the script in the blog.In addition, it was confirmed that the host name and password were changed. The versions I am testing are windows 10, windows server 2016. Please, let me know. Thanks,Regards

This is the scenario I have:We have a four node cluster running Hyper-V. We want to migrate/reload/replace with AHV. There is nothing on this cluster that needs to be preserved.I tried the Foundation Portable application, but it does not seem to discover the nodes. I suspect that is because they are neither bare-metal nor factory imaged at this point. (based on this article - https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Field-Installation-Guide-v4_5:Field-Installation-Guide-v4_5)This is a “retail” cluster, so I do have support. I just don’t know if it’s appropriate to tie up a support engineer for the time it would take to reload a cluster. So I was hoping to at least get started on my own. I did some googling and searching here and the KB. But I suspect my search terms are either too broad or maybe even far too specific. All I get back is how to setup a brand new cluster. 

Hello! I’m pretty new to this Nutanix world. Have been dealing with standard server+storage for more than a decade. We have 2 clusters here, with 3 nodes in each site with metro availability. There are 3 protection domains active in each site (active) that are replicated to the other site (passive) and vice-versa.    Site1: Node1 - Node3 - Node5 PDs site1 (active): PROD_001, DEV_001, INFRA_001 PDs site1 (passive): PROD_002, DEV_002, INFRA_002   Site2: Node2 - Node4 - Node6 PDs site2 (active): PROD_002, DEV_002, INFRA_002 PDs site2 (passive): PROD_001, DEV_001, INFRA_001   In vCenter cluster configuration we obviously have affinity rules for VMs/Hosts in site1 and VMs/Hosts in site2, preventing the VMs running in “odd” nodes from being stored in “even” nodes. Sometimes we have to migrate VMs from one site to another. So we do a complete vmotion (compute and storage). After the migration, we start to constantly receive alerts with this message: Snapshot status for vstore INFRA_001: Faile

Recently, we upgraded AOS and AHV in a 6-NX-1065-G5 nodes cluster. Those nodes have only 1 Gbps interfaces and the upgrade process got stuck many times while actively moving guest VMS to other nodes when setting each node to maintenance mode. Tech support told us this happened because new AOS and AHV versions were designed to work at 10 Gbps, which we know is a best practice, but a hardware upgrade would be needed in our scenario then.Question: I´m guessing configuring the four uplink interfaces as Balance-SLB bond may help, having a total bandwidth of 4 Gbps in optimal conditions, Has anybody gone through this problem and applied this cure? Was it useful or… Not enough? Thanks in advance

Hi everyone, I need some help.I'd like to see the output of several Prism Element API calls in the Nutanix/ESXi hypervizor environment.curl -ks -u 'user:pass' -X GET 'https://<prism_element_ip>:9440/PrismGateway/services/rest/v2.0/cluster'curl -ks -u 'user:pass' -X GET 'https://<prism_element_ip>:9440/PrismGateway/services/rest/v2.0/hosts'curl -ks -u 'user:pass' -X GET 'https://<prism_element_ip>:9440/PrismGateway/services/rest/v2.0/vms?include_vm_disk_config=true&include_vm_nic_config=true'We are developing a monitoring/reporting tool for multiple platforms.

Hi Cloud builderWhile I was reading the NTNX Bible they said that the VM snapshot being taked by freezing the VM, unlikely with ESXi where the VM is stunned » Delta created for I/Os and then VMDK is consolidatedMy question while on NTNX Platform how/when the I/O takes place while VM is being snapshot’ed while its freeze.
