Hi Does anywhere can be find the ESXi version and AOS version interoperaability or compatibility? I found that in the foundation iso_whitelist file, there is some ESXi version has min_nos requirements. but differnet OEM partner has different requiremnts. But from VMware compability web site. ESXi is compatibility with most of the AOS version as the link. For example: ESXi 6.5 U3 --Dell has no min_nos requirements --Lenovo min_nos is 5.10.6 --Fujitsu has no min_nos requirements --HPE min_nos is 5.10.7 So if it is old enviroment, Does the ESXi version must meet the AOS version requirement in the whitelist?

All, I have a 6 Node 1065 system in 2 blocks.  Recently one of the CVMs (node 2, block A) crashed.  When rebooted it was just going in loops.  When diagnosed it seems the SSD (not the SATADOM) had failed and we replaced it.  When we try to boot the CVM, it still just loops. We were told to boot that node with Phoenix which the cluster provided me for download.  I do that and it doesn’t load Phoenix and gets errors instead.  I’m looking for a suggestion of how to get the node back to 100%.  At this point (and throughout) the ESXi on the SATADOM has booted fine and I guess if I didn’t care about the storage side I could just ignore this but I’d like the system to be fully healthy. Any suggestion about how to get the CVM working again would be appreciated. Thank you Johan

For most of my vm’s that are in protection domains, the snapshot option is grayed out in Prism Centeral.  Hovering over the option I get a popup with message “One or more of selected VMs is protected via legacy DR feature.  Snapshots for these VMs can be taken from respective PE clusters only.”  This option is not grayed out for vms that are not in protection domains.  Why is that?  What are legacy DR features?

We have many clusters in HCI . Now we want to locally segregate prod VM n NOn -prod VM in a cluster . how can we do ? Do we have concept of resource groups?

I’m standing-up a Nutanix File cluster and want to move an existing WIndows DFS Namespace to the cluster. The namespace needs to remain the same as it is used by web apps. I thought I could simply add the AFS cluster as a Namespace server, replicate the files, and then remove the old namespace servers. However, when I go to add the new namespace server, it wants a local folder location which isn’t available. I was sure I saw that Nutanix Files is compatible with Windows DFS but I don’t know what I’m missing. Suggestions?

While attempting to update a VM category via the prism central API, we are getting a 409 response saying: { 'api_version': '3.1', 'code': 409, 'message_list': [{ 'message': 'Edit conflict: please retry change. Entity CAS version mismatch.', 'reason': 'CONCURRENT_REQUESTS_NOT_ALLOWED' }], 'state': 'ERROR'} It seems to be occurring on only one VM as all others seem to update normally. I can clear it by updating the VM through the gui, however once I try and do it via API I get that error.   Any thoughts on what could be going on with this VM?

Two weeks ago I’ve upgraded our two clusters to AOS 5.15 . After that, both clusters began to receive constant warnings for root partiton space usage high(exceeded 80%) on almost all CVMs. Below is the result of ‘df -h’ on one of the CVMs:  Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on devtmpfs         18G     0   18G   0% /dev tmpfs           512M     0  512M   0% /dev/shm tmpfs            18G  1.2M   18G   1% /run tmpfs            18G     0   18G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup /dev/md1        9.8G  7.4G  1.9G  80% / /dev/loop0      240M  2.3M  221M   2% /tmp /dev/md2         40G   23G   17G  57% /home tmpfs           3.6G     0  3.6G   0% /run/user/1000 /dev/sdg1       5.5T  1.4T  4.0T  26% /home/nutanix/data/stargate-storage/disks/                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             17Q0A01WFB9D /dev/sdh1    

I am trying to locate the memory slots “P2-DIMMD1” and “P2-DIMMD2”  in G4 but did not see any slot marked as P2-DIMMD1 or P2-DIMMD2. would you please let me know how to find these slots and replace memory. Thanks, Tairshah

I tested a planned failover of Nutanix Files v3.6 today from local site A to remote site B after reviewing the DR documentation. I successfully ‘migrated’ site A to site B however I expected the FSVM’s to migrate as well. Instead, they stayed at their original site A.     I assume that this is by design and my assumption is incorrect or did I miss a step somewhere?

Hi All,   I’ve testing old Nutanix NX box demo with no MA support.  The AOS version install is 5.10.6   I tried to create file server using wizard in prism element.  In the last step of wizard when I prompt create the error message showing    Error creating: Invalid CVM subnet configuration, possibly due to incomplete CVM re-ip workflow   I’ve run ncc check and didn’t found subnet mismatch issue.   Please kindly advice how to fix this.

Hi, I'll create new cluster for 3 nodes that maybe expand. If I add node to cluster, Should I stop it to set Erasure Coding ? Or Should I set Erasure Coding at create new cluster before running user VMs ? I'm concerned about some impacts user VMs running on new cluster for that setting.

I am using Nutanix on VSphere 6.5, and am affected by the 100% Memory usage alerts as described in KB article 000004465. I would like to create a folder in VSphere called Nutanix CVMs, which will not have the memory alerts enabled, and would like to move the CVM VMs in to this folder. Can anyone advise whether it’s safe to move a CVM VM in to another folder after is has been deployed? Part of me thinks this is a safe / normal procedure, as I’ve done it countless times with normal VMs. However, due to the complex nature of hyper-converged infrastructure and CVMs I understand I need to be very careful.   Thanks for your help   Jason  

Hi,  My CVM is reporting low on disk space and trying to cleanup. I tried to follow the KB1540 and noticed the logs directory needs to be clean up. Its consuming around 8.1G the rm cmd in article dont see to apply for logs folder. Any suggestion on how to free up space under logs safely? Can i winscp and delete the logs files?   Thanks CT

Hi,   Does Nutanix Leap support ESXi Hypervisor for on-premise DR automation? In two different sources I have found different information:   AAPM 5.10: Data Protection: Prism Central and Acropolis 5.10 or higher must be deployed on both sites. Orchestration is only available if you run AHV.   Xi Leap Admin Guide (page 7): Hypervisor Requirements Supported Hypervisors On premises, the hypervisor must be one of the following: • AHV • ESXi   https://nutanixbible.com/ Supported Environment(s): On-Premise: AHV (As of AOS 5.10) Thank you!  

The new ESXi 7.0  has been released, does the latest version of nutanix 5.15 (LTS) support upgrades?

Hi, I'd like to set configuration authentication to Active Directory. Do you know "Service Account User" 's  authority ? Should the user  belong to "Domain Admins"?   I don’t know “special user account”, what’s means? https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details/?targetId=Web-Console-Guide-Prism-v55:wc-security-authentication-wc-t.html#task_84b_24f_85   Thank you for your care.  

Hello, Are these any docs available which shows the setup between the Nutanix cluster and Prometheus/Grafana, similar to the one we have for Nagios https://next.nutanix.com/how-it-works-22/monitoring-nutanix-with-nagios-4500   Thanks.  

Hi,  What if all 4 attempts finished and I didn't pass NCSR L3 assessment. Will I be able to attempt again? If not, should I proceed with NCSE process. 

Would like to put together a report that would in detail break down the storage used by VM snapshots, as well as, storage used by Protection Domains.   Have been digging around and found a couple scripts that display some useful information however not quite what I’m looking for.  Anyone have an idea on how best to proceed?

I have an AHV VM that I would like to disconnect the NIC and connect the NIC in my script.  I need it disconnected while sysprep runs and sets a static IP address then I’m good to connect the NIC again.  (Otherwise it pulls a DHCP address and replaced the hostname with the DHCP address in DNS).   I can Get-NTNXVMNIC and see the current status of the NIC but I don’t see a way to change the status (i.e. I don’t find a Set-NTNXVMNIC command).   Thanks!   -TimG

Hi, Does anyone know exactly how many nodes can I install by Foundation 4.5 at one time? As I am going to write some internal docs related to Foundation so I do want to know.   Thanks.
