Good Day,  I am very new to Nutanix and recently purchased a cluster. It has only been running for about 30 days now managing my network and I am in the process of make some configurations to it. I need some assistance with an error message that I am receiving. I am using AHV as hyper-visor on my 3 node cluster. On this cluster I am running 5 Windows based Server VM's (not using Hyper-V or VMware). I followed the instructions from the Administration Guide by enabling VSS Shadow Copies on the Servers, then installing guest tools on all the servers and creating a protect domain Async DR. My configurations are working and snapshots are being created for my Domain Controllers and Application Servers. However, when a snapshot is trying to be created of my File Server, I keep getting the following error.  "Warning : VSS snapshot failed for the VM(s) FS-01 protected by the FileServer in the snapshot (169035, 1563300389081879, 960) because Quiescing guest VM(s) failed or timed out.

Hi everybody, I see a “flapping” warning message for one SSD on my 3-Node Hybrid-Cluster (2x 1,92TB SSD per Node). Disk space usage for one or more disks on Controller VM ###.###.###.### is 88% which exceeds the threshold of 85%. I checked curator runs which were successfull.  From the I/O Metrics of a VM (Prism → VM → I/O Metrics) I only see the performance distribution (block size/read source usw.) for a point in time. I know Nutanix DSF handles tiering but is there a command/way to figure out which vm/vdisk claims most SSD capacity? Thanks for support, Marc

Hi all, I'm ready to take the NCSC exam but I came up against an issue ttrying o register and schedule my exam. The web page is loading without showing nothing. I've tried with different Internet access and with different web browsers but I'm still facing the issue. Could you please help?

Hi Team,  I wanted to take nutanix exam but not able to find the exam link and not to find in PSI portal as well.   Regards, Madhan

Besides the fact that LTS is Long Term Release and STS is Short Term Release, Is there any reason that STS shouldn't be used for production purposes over LTS ?I want to switch to 5.9 for the ESXi 6.7 compatibility.

My stargate contimues to restart. and I cannot find anyting in the GUI to indicate what it my be. When I get in the cli, i see the cluster says all four nodes are up. i try to ping 192.168.5.1 and the icmp request never completes. pinging all other ip’s work as expected. my esx is 6.5u3 aos is 5..5.5 my NCC is 3.7.0.1 foundations is 4.3  

I’m in the process of migrating from VMWare to AHV.  I was curious if there are any licensing changes in regard to SQL.  Do I need to just make sure that I have enough core licensing to run the actual VM or do I have to buy core licenses for every core on my entire 4 node cluster?  I heard of something called infinity that I could use to keep my VM on just one node?  Thanks for your help!

Hi there, I am new with Nutanix and I have a doubt about Acropolis licensing. We have 3 nutanix nodes with Acropolis Start Edition installed. Yesterday, my PRISM console report a License Feature Violation. Looking at https://www.nutanix.com/products/software-options , the only thing that I saw that could be wrong in my configuration was a Volume Group created for a test. Just to be sure, in an Acropolis Start Edition can we create volume groups or this option should only be used in PRO and ULTIMATE editions? The alert don’t give me more information about which feature is violating the license. Thanks in advance for the help! BR, Thelmo    

We are about to buy and 4 node box with 8*16 core processors.  On top we are going to utilize AHV Here we are going to run 2 or 3 Microsoft Operating system only Now what version of microsoft license we need to buy?

In our environment we are currently hosting 2 HP Gen9 ESXi servers. Our plan is to purchase a single HP Gen 10 and having a 3 node cluster made out of it. To start with I want to create a single node (Gen 10) and slowly start moving VM’s from the esx host to that Nutanix host without interrupting the 2 esx servers. So my question here is, How is it possible for me to start with a Single host and start adding hosts to make up a cluster of 3 nodes (1 → Gen10, 2-Gen9)?

Hello, I am looking for a link to find all versions of Nutanix products. Thanks for your help

Where on a Nutanix Files instance can I find logs regarding the creation and modification of directories within a given share?  Particularly I’m looking for logs showing the creation of a directory and then a scripted action to modify the permissions on said directory.  Is this something that is logged?  If so, where would that log reside?

Hi, NCC is reporting that I’m missing the cpupower command. Seems strange. I’m using a i7-2600k processor in each node. Should I install the package using yum repositories?  Where does it run, host or CVM?   Detailed information for host_cpu_frequency_check: Node 192.168.0.127: ERR : Error while getting host CPU frequency range. bash: cpupower: command not found   Node 192.168.0.121: ERR : Error while getting host CPU frequency range. bash: cpupower: command not found   Node 192.168.0.125: ERR : Error while getting host CPU frequency range. bash: cpupower: command not found   Node 192.168.0.123: ERR : Error while getting host CPU frequency range. bash: cpupower: command not found

Howdy,   I’ve searched through all corners of the web, but still didn’t find a clear answer to this question: can Nutanix prioritize packets and/or traffic in OVS? And, if yes, is there some online how-to that I can refer to to learn how to do that?   Thanks in advance,

Howdy, I already know that Debian is an unsupported Linux distribution for using NGT on. But I still *must* try NGT on it... how can I force the instalation of NGT on Debian?

question1: What get "OpenConnection" to do how? question2: Is "Open Connections" the number of sessions for Files? thank you. 

Can someone help me with a power shell script which can help us to build multiple VMs by using a Win10 template we have. The environment that I am trying to build the VDIs have Nutanix as the Hardware and ESX 6.5 as the Hypervisor. The script should able to build the machines with sequential number and put them under a specif folder in Hypervisor. I can get the different templates for different containers and with proper Vlan.

can we replace an existing node with a better hardware,  that is with the latest processor?

AOS upgrade appears to go well, but my CE three node cluster didn’t complete the first AHV upgrade.

Hi AllAfter upgrading the NCC version, I get this message CVM was renamed after installation - I haven't changed it!  The recommendation is bizarre - Rename CVM back to its original name.  CVM name is noncofigurable by the end user.So if it is non configurable , what changed it and how do I get it changed back ?  Or is it just having an identity crisis?Is there a fix?

Hi, Anyone know the highest supported ESXi version we can upgrade to on the Dell XC630-10?
