I have deleted several shares on the Nutanix File Server we have running in VMware and the free space does not seem to be recovering even after a week. Is there a command i can run in ACLI or NCLI to force the clean up to take place? Or is there a better way to remove the shares other the through the Prism UI?

Hello, I am trying to use nutanix xtract to move a windows server 2016 machine to nutanix. I have a local admin and disabled UAC and rebooted the computer. When i put in the local admin account and it trys to verify it tells me UAC is enabled. I have checked and rechecked. Logged in with different accounts to ensure UAC is disabled and rebooted multiple times. What am I doing wrong? Thank you

I am trying to connect Zenoss to Nutanix Prism cluster and have provided the monitoring guys a user name and pw along with cluster IP.

Please advise. I have to be missing something here.

Hi All, I am in the progress of launching a blueprint via CALM. However encountered the IP not found error. How do we add the IP address to the Blueprint VM Configuration? Have filled up all possible network related fields: Network adapters (NICS) : NIC 1 - VLAN0 Connection: Address - NIC 1 From the logs: Waiting for 60 seconds to finish the guest customization Reapplying micro segmentation categories Waiting for VM a2b28676-fa5d-4ab3-a1bb-04cdc9351727 to get an IP ERROR: Failed to get an IP for the VM a2b28676-fa5d-4ab3-a1bb-04cdc9351727 It seems that it is stuck in the Guest customization issue. Should I be adding an ip address in the script? Thank you![img]https://d1qy7qyune0vt1.cloudfront.net/nutanix-us/attachment/9c4dedae-ef93-4739-ad8f-953d8c280cb7.png[/img]

Hello; When i try to migrate a Vm from Esxi to AHV with Move, the operation is being failed sometimes. Migration Status steps go well until last step "install device drivers". The error is this: "[b]Failed to execute guest command: 'msiexec.exe /i C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\vmware174\Nutanix-VirtIO-latest-stable.msi /quiet' ExitCode: '1603'.[/b]" My AOS version is 5.10.5. The OS is windows server 2016. I logged in with Built-in Administrator account and i installed VirtIO 1.1.4 manually. I can migrate some Server 2016 Vms but there is a problem about some Vms.

Hi; I have an ubuntu server on vmware and i want to migrate it to AHV with Move. when i type "uname -a" output is: [b]Linux TKMAPP1 4.2.0-42-generic #49~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jun 29 20:22:11 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux[/b] when i type "grep -i virtio /boot/config-`uname -r`" output is: CONFIG_NET_9P_VIRTIO=m CONFIG_VIRTIO_BLK=y CONFIG_SCSI_VIRTIO=m CONFIG_VIRTIO_NET=y CONFIG_CAIF_VIRTIO=m CONFIG_VIRTIO_CONSOLE=y CONFIG_HW_RANDOM_VIRTIO=m CONFIG_DRM_VIRTIO_GPU=m CONFIG_VIRTIO=y # Virtio drivers CONFIG_VIRTIO_PCI=y CONFIG_VIRTIO_PCI_LEGACY=y CONFIG_VIRTIO_BALLOON=y CONFIG_VIRTIO_INPUT=m CONFIG_VIRTIO_MMIO=y CONFIG_VIRTIO_MMIO_CMDLINE_DEVICES=y As i see VirtIO drivers are installed. And then when i start to migrate on Move an error pop up is appears: [b]SCSI VirtIO device driver not found. Please download and install the appropriate device driver before retrying the migration.[/b] What can i do for this issue ?

I'm new to Nutanix, and have a basic question pertaining to keeping drivers and firmware in the server up to date with LCM. We have Dell XC640 servers running VMware ESXi. Am I too assume the LCM is going to provide all the drivers and firmware required for the stack? Documentation states that Dell provides the payload, LCM installs it. I want to validate after updating the hosts with LCM if that's all that I need to do. Does this also update the VMware Ethernet driver? It seems to good to be true that LCM would actually do that as well. Looking for some guidance on this so that I have a solid game plan that I can document moving forward.

Hello, Just wondering if there is anything special about running CVM commands via ansible or other non-interactive session tools? The ansible ping module works just fine but when I start using Nutanix specific commands i get errors telling me that "no such file exists." The commands i'm running are "cluster status" and "ncli rsyslog-config get-status" These obviously work in a regular interactive session but not with ansible. Am i missing a path variable declaration or something? Are the commands only available via interactive sessions(if that is even a thing)? Thanks Update: a coworker who is better at linux than I am said that the profile probably isn't loaded the same so I need to fully source all the commands. So right now I'm doing my best to find them and running them that way. So far so good. /home/nutanix/cluster/bin/cluster status

Good day! Does anyone know how to check the pre registration checks which are failing for me?

As the title stated, does someone know whether I can run AsynDR on OEM hardware just as Dell, Lenovo... or not? I have a customer wanting to create a AsyncDR session to backup files from a Nutanix cluster to a Nutanix on Dell servers. Is there any limitation so far? Thanks.

Hey guys, After an installation on customer site, I got this message in the Health Check. [b]INFO: Cluster does not satisfy the pre-requisite for enabling deduplication[/b] I can't find a description for that message online. Can someone help me with that? Cheers Dennis

I have a bunch of VM (>300) converted from vmware, and I have to classify them with categories and projects. I tried in powershell with the rest API, but when I GET the VM characteristics and use ConvertTo-Json to build new json file, it does not "expand" embedded arrays like disk_list, nic_list... so cannot send the PUT request correctly Does someone have an example to set/update categories and project for a VM ?

Hello, First-timer here, I don't know if I'm posting on the right place, I'm sorry if I'm not... I have Acronis 12.5 Backup installed on a Windows Server 2019 Essentials 64 bits (that's installed bare-metal on a Lenovo SystemX 3650 M5). Attached to it, there's an IBM TS4300. I'm trying to figure how to backup the VMs running on my AOS 5.10.1 in the tape drivers inside the TS4300. I know I can install Acronis Agents on my Windows VMs, but I don't know if that's the answer for my question. And, if a disaster happens and I need to restore the Acropolis VMs from the tapes, how can I do it? Sorry if my questions seem too basic, but I'm googling for the desired infos all day long with no success up to now, so I'm asking for help here. Best regards,

Hello evryone, I want to migrate a Linux VM from VMWare ESXI infrastructure to AHV infrastructure. I use Xtract for do this. But when the plan is created afer a certain time the status plan becomes "failed" and I have this error message : "Internal target agent error '[Container="SMI_DS_NUTANIX_JAG_1", Err="exit status 32", Location="/root/workspace/xtract_vm_qcow2_builder_prod/go/src/tgtagent/ahvtargetprovider.go:985"] Container mount failed (error=0x4012)'" Thank you all for your answers Xtract version : 2.0.2 ESXI version : 5.5 AHV version : 20170830.185

I wanted to clarify if Xtract is just for converting from ESXi / Hyper-V /AWS to AHV or if ESXi to ESXi conversions are suppported with Xtract 2.0 / Move 3.0. We have about 100 VMs we'd like to move from one ESXi cluster to another ESXi cluster and I know we could use VM Converter or cross cluster vMotions (where supported) but wanted to see if the native Nutanix tools are also an option for this type of migration. I had thought it was mainly for migrations to AHV, has that changed?

We have a couple production SQL servers on our ESXi Cluster that need be transitioned to our new Nutanix Cluster. Nutanix Best Practices indicates that the SQL servers should be created new on the Nutanix Cluster instead of doing a VM move from ESXi to AHV. I am aware that Nutanix had Xtract Db for awhile that was supposed to make moving a SQL instance possible but they have since discontinued the product. I must assume they had issues with it. My question is what are the technical implications of using Nutanix Move to "move" the SQL VM from ESXi to AHV? I have used the tool to move a number of non-SQL VMs without any issues. Knowing that the underlying Hyper-visor components are changing and the VirtIO drivers must be installed before the move and then NGT installed after the move, what might the issue be that discourages or prevents a SQL VM cross-hyper-visor move? The SQL version is 2016 Standard with no mirroring or Always on Availability. Just standalone SQL. We hav

How we take backup of VM, What are the diffrent ways for that out side of the cluster.

Hello everybody, let's assume we have one Nutanix block with 3 nodes. In each node we only have 1 CPU socket with 10 Cores. A VM can only run on one node. So, in this case, wouldn't it make more sense to let a VM with 4 CPUs run on 1 VCPU and 4 Cores, instead of 4 VCPUs with 1 core, as each node has only 1 CPU socket? Or does Nutanix always recommend to use only 1 Core per VCPU not matter how much CPU sockets are available in a node? Best regards, Didi7

Good Day, I am new to Nutanix, so this may be a very simple question to answer. How do you move VMs on hyper-v 2008 to AHV. The AHV version is 20170830.270. I thought of Nutanix Move, but move does seem to support hyper-v 2008. Any guidance would be welcome, thank you.

How to change Prism Central IP in CLI. Please help me with the commands. Thank You.

Hi all, I have a production ESX cluster and an AHV cluster (currently Dev but will be live soon) and I want to move a couple of hosts out of the ESX cluster and then expand the AHV cluster. I want to make sure I have the correct process and do not miss anything but couldn't find this specifically documented anywhere. Has anyone done this already? current plan is - - Cluster checks. - maintenance mode esx host to move all VMs off. - shutdown CVM and allow maintenance mode to complete. - remove VMhost from the prod vmware cluster in vSphere. - remove from Nutanix cluster using the option in Prism. - wait for Nutanix to remove the node. - Expand the AHV cluster adding the released ESX host. Any comments or advise would be welcome. Thanks.
