Hi, I've been trying to get access to PE Health Status (e.g. Failed, Warning, etc) via CmdLets or REST API with no much luck. Any ideas? Cheers, Manuel

Hi We're trying to move a couple of servers from AWS to out Nutanix cluster. I keep running into "access denied" to various resources on AWS when trying to add it as a source. What are the minimum permissions / role for the IAM account?? Does anyone have a custom policy in JSON format?? thanks

Customer has large Nutanix environment across globe and would like to upgrade prism central to 5.10.2, but the download link is not available in the portal. The download link was there before a month and not now. Could you please share the link to download PC 5.10.2 (upgrade) and is there a reason why it has been removed from the portal.? Thanks.

Hi All, Is it possible that we add a G6 node to an existing Nutanix Block running 3 1065-G5 nodes? or we will have to add another Nutanix block containing a single G6 node and make it part of the existing cluster?

Dear contributors, We have purchased Nutanix appliances and I am working as part of the IT Security team. We have enforced the security settings on CVM and AHV (STIG, banner, ...) and, as part of our duties, we carry out regular checks to make sure that the security settings have not been altered. For this, we would like to have nominative accounts which are able to connect through SSH and be able to check on the settings of the components. Is it possible to do? If yes, how can we proceed? Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hello All, I’m quite new to nutanix, I have a question: Can we add three different hypervisor nodes in a single Nutanix cluster. ex:- if we have three nodes with below hypervisor Node 1 - Esxi Node 2 - AHV Node 3 - Hyper-v So can we add these three servers in nutanix cluster??

I'm trying to deploy FortiAuthenticator v5.5 VM but running into issues on AHV.

I just created 4 new Server 2012R2 VMs and this morning I see yellow exclamation points on them with the message "VSS snapshot is not supported for the VM 'WinSrv12R2', because VM has IDE disks attached" These were created with 100G SATA drives and a SATA CD-ROM so I cant figure out why I'm seeing this message. Thank you

I recently had an individual VM whose CPU spiked to between 94-98% for roughly 6 hours. I'd only caught it because the user finally called in and said their VM was slow. In Prism it wasn't showing a warning at all, but I could very clearly see that the CPU was pegged. I wondered if there was any way to set up an email alert for if CPU/RAM at the VM-level has sustained utilization above a certain threshold?

Hi. We have a large grouping of VM's that are not always required to be running and would like to find a way to shutdown these particular VM's on a sunday night. Now anyone know how to find a group of VM's (either via label, project, category etc) and pass a shutdown command. Ideally I would like to do this via PowerShell but I will take anything.

I've written a PoSH script which does the following. [list=1] [*]Authenticates to Prism Central V3 API [*]Calls /category/query API to get a list of VM uuid's that are members of the PROD category. [*]Write this list of uuid's to a string [*]Connect to the NTNX cluster using Nutanix PowerShell cmdlets. [*]Iterate through the above string and execute Set-NTNXVMPowerState against the uuid's. [/list] Steps 1 - 4 work as expected. Step 5 seems to iterate through the list as it should but when I put in the Set-NTNXVMPowerState command to be executed, it throws an access denied error. Once the script gives the error, the powershell connection looks like it locks the account and you cannot execute any commands. If I comment out the foreach loop, and just execute a normal PoSH cmdlet (after the Connect-NTNXCluster) such as Get-NTNXClusterInfo, it works fine. I have tried both my account (which has Prism admin rights) and the Prism Central admin account with no luck. So 2 q

In a Nutanix Cluster, if we have three hypervisors (say VMware / Hyper-V / AHV) if the AHV node is down, can the VMs from AHV node failover to Hyper-V or VMware hypervisors available in the same cluster in commercial edition of Nutanix.

Hello. I am trying to connect to the /iso/ folder to clean up some of the old versions. I also connected some VMware Datastores that I should probably do some housekeeping as well. I connect to the cluster primary IP 192.168.1.100 and get access denied. It's the same nutanix username & password I use for SSH which works fine.

trying to find the mobility installer?

I have a problem with arp requests on the bridge for guest traffic In the drawing below the current architecture. If a request arrives from the outside, passing through the firewall, and the firewall is starting to communicate to a VM connected to a NIC to BR1-UP bond of BR1 bridge, the ARP request for the resolution of the VM address stops at the bridge BR1 and do not reach the VM, in this case the firewall and VM ARP tables remain unpopulated and the communications stop. On the other hand, if the communications depart from the VM to the Firewall (for example with a ping) the ARP request is processed by the firewall and the ARP tables of firewall and VM are correctly populated with the respective MAC ADDRs. Firewall IP and VM IP are in the same broadcast domain, no routing. I checked with Wireshark on the windows VM, with tcpdump and ovs-appctl fdb/show on the Nutanix host and when the communications start from the firewall the ARP request goes up to the physical card of the BR1

I've inherited a Nutanix setup. I've noticed there is 1 Storage Pool setup and 4 Storage Containers. (see screenshot).  I don't know what is the Default setup looked like so I don't know which are required. I'd like to have 1 container. Currently attached to Nutanix Host VDI_POC nutanix-peristent-pool Not attached NutanixManagementShare SelfServiceContainer All of my VMs are on the VDI_POC. Can I somehow delete the other 3 and combine them into the VDI_POC without losing data/downtime?  

We have a scenario in which we are running VMware vSphere environment on existing servers and planning to deploy a DR site. Is it possible that we deploy a Nutanix AHV environment at the DR site and replicate from the existing ESXi environment at the Production site to the Nutanix DR site somehow? We are currently using Veeam backup and replication for VMware for backup. What is the possibility of such a requirement?
