Is there a KB or documentation providing the JSON format and any additional things that may be coded in? For example, in going through the install.nutanix.com portal to generate the JSON file it doesn't ask for NTP server of the hypervisor. In looking at the file, though, there's this line: "hypervisor_nameserver": "8.8.8.8", I'd like to have our Nutanix deployments in code as much as possible (right now we're looking to various scripts for vSphere configurations). Being able to configure as much as possible up front and possibly make this a template for future deployments.

I'm running 3 node cluster, based on 5.10 version (2019-02-11) There are some alerts for each node: [list] [*]Detected Incompatible AHV Version [*]Detected older AHV Version [/list]I've checked the Settings-Upgrade menu - there it nothing available to upgrade for AHV and AOS.

How do clean old Prism Alerts.  Within Webconsole Resolve and Acknowlege doesnt clean old alerts.  Any command would helpful.  Thanks,   

Hii am trying to move from Esxi to Esxi but it gave this error Could not connect to ‘IP_Address’. Error : ’Get https://‘IP_Address’/PrismGateway/services/rest/v2.0/cluster/: dial tcp ‘IP_Address’: connect: connection refusedany ideas please

We’re in the process of testing Veeam for AHV on our NTNX running AOS 5.10.  So far with Windows issues we have had very few issues and we worked them out quickly.   However with a Linux VM running Ubuntu we’re getting errors on the Nutanix where the snapshot is checking for pre-freeze and post-thaw scripts.  We’ve attempted a variety of ways to get those scripts in place, but it seems that there is no clear path.   Does anyone else have experience with Veeam for AHV and backing up Linux VMs? Does anyone have any info on setting up the pre-freeze and post-thaw scripts?  While we have some experience with this on Linux we’re certainly not experts. 

Hi, We have several Hyper-V servers. We intend to implement Nutanix to replace those Hyper-V servers. We have been given Nutanix Collector win32 v2 to run collecting the information of the Hyper-V servers to estimate what Nutanix to buy. However, I don't know how to run it. Has any one run this before ? Is there any guide document ? Thank you very much for your help.

I have been trying to create a Windows Server VM. whenever I create the VM I can't see a drive where I can install the windows server. has anyone else experienced this?

We have a dozen or so VMs/appliances that do not support AHV and thus cannot be migrated over to our new AHV cluster that runs 95% of our servers. We would like to expose a container/Volume Group from Nutanix to the VMware hosts as NFS datastores to build these VMs/Appliances on. Our goal is to then replicate that Container/Volume Group to our DR Nutanix cluster and then connect our DR VMware cluster for the same VMs/Appliances to then use as well incase of failover. We have gotten conflicting information from all parties and wanted to know if anyone was already doing this and what your results are? These VMs/Appliances would have fairly high IO.

Hi, I have a Blueprint with two VM (Names: APACHE and MYSQL) and would like to put on both servers an entry into /etc/hosts as "ip - hostname" I put on every package the following commands: echo "@@{APACHE.address}@@ @@{APACHE.name}@@ @@{APACHE.name}@@.localdomain" >> /etc/hosts echo "@@{MYSQL.address}@@ @@{MYSQL.name}@@ @@{MYSQL.name}@@.localdomain" >> /etc/hosts But I get the following errors: Application Profile Default > Action Create Found cycles in tasks Application Profile Default > Action Delete Found cycles in tasks Application Profile Default > Action Soft Delete Found cycles in tasks Deployment 6b297d3c_deployment > Action Create Found cycles in tasks Deployment 6b297d3c_deployment > Action Delete Found cycles in tasks Deployment 6b297d3c_deployment > Action Soft Delete Found cycles in tasks How can I assign variables between servers? thanks!

Hi. I am fairly new to scripting especially with Nutanix. I can do Powershell scripting just fine but making the conversion to shell scripts has my brain in a knot. I have some acli commands to create a new vm, create a new Disk and a new NIC but I was unsure how to run them as an executable from my Windows desktop. Our cluster is Nutanix AHV. So I run this from a command line to open putty and connect. It works fine without the script. putty.exe -ssh admin@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -pw ****** -m "C:\newVM.sh" The script is: acli; #creates a clone of Server2016 #vm.clone aTest clone_from_vm="Server2016RefImage" memory=8G num_cores_per_vcpu=2 num_vcpus=2; #creates a D drive # vm.disk_create aTest bus=scsi create_size=200G index=1 container="Container-1"; #Add a NIC #vm.nic_create aTest connected=true network="Vlan6"; Each line will run fine if I run it in putty but I am not sure if I am stringing the commands together correctly. If I try to execute the script it opens the putty session the

After having the CVMs down for some cluster maintenance \ VLAN ID changes, everything is back up but after running an NCC check the first check, CVM reboot check, failed. Is this something to be concerned about? What is actually being checked with this?

Dear Friends, I am trying to find out VMs to Storage Container relations using Nutanix REST APIs but not able to get. I have tried both V2.0 and V3 APIs. In 'vms/list' v3 API, we do get "disk_list" for each VM but I do not see these vDisks in 'vdisk' or virtual_disks APIs (v2). Also there is no reference to Storage_Containers in 'vms/list' output so it is difficult for me to find the correlation. Please help.

I'm exploring the API and noticed that for listing operations (specifically the /vms/list operation) supports providing sorting parameters. I can't find any information on the proper values for the sort_attribute key in the request. Has anyone used this and can shed some light for me? Thanks

I have lots of Protection Domains. I need to keep their schedules straight, prevent overlap, and report the schedules to management. I am not the only admin, so I cannot track the configuration manually. Is there a powershell cmdlet that presents this information? I cannot find it. I want to know the schedule and the replication information(sites and how many to retain). I'm not using protection policies, just old school PD. Thanks, Bill Beavis
