Hi all, Just checking does anyone had implement Citrix VDI using Citrix Profiles management store on Nutanix files yet? Any issue should we concern please share. Thank you.

We are planning a major migration from existing 3-tier ESXi over to Nutanix/ESXi (AHV to come later). Due to time constraints in our move, we are trying to optimize how many VM's can migrate at one time. VMware has a few well-known limits on their operations: vMotion operations per host (10Gb/s network) - 8 vMotion operations per datastore - 128 Storage vMotion operations per host - 2 Storage vMotion operations per datastore - 8 If I take a "one storage container to rule them all" approach, I will be limited to 8 migrations at once, as long as I spread out my migrations to 4 hosts. My target will be a 14 node cluster, so I would like to push up to 28 operations, if at all possible. Would it be considered a best-practice to carve out 4 storage containers, knowing I'm still in the same pool, and fan out the migrations to get around these limits? My goal is to saturate my 10Gbit inter-datacenter link. Yes, I like to push the limits (break things?). Would the multi-data

Hi, Is there a way to see/export the OS type of the VMs? We are trying to find out how many Windows servers we have of each version (2016, 2012). Thanks Regards

Please let me know if there is any reason as why VirtIO is shipped separately?

Hello - I'm new to Nutanix and am in the middle of taking the online 5.5 course in the education portal. I have a simple question about Cloud connect: In the section about Cloud Connect features the very first thing you read is "data transmitted is already deduplicated and users can choose to enable compression on the local storage container.." Yet when I look at the section regarding General Recommendations and Limitations I see the following: "It is not recommended to enable deduplication on the source cluster..." Can you please help me understand this? This looks like a complete contradiction.

Has anyone experienced the X-Ray tests going to 0% but staying 'open'? For the last few days our X-Ray tests have been running to completion but not finishing. As a result the additional tests do not get run. The curie log indicates "exiting _cluster_results_loop" but the tests hang open at 0% and they have to be cancelled.

I used an older version of Move back in September to migrate out ESXi VMs to AHV, and now with the GA release of Hyper-V with v3.0.2 I figured I'd give that a go. I just deployed 3.0.2 and attempted to add my Hyper-V box and it connects, however, it's not inventorying any VMs. I have 6 running VMs on this box so I'm not sure what the issue is. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

We attempted to migrate our ODNS as well as setup new VM's in AHV by extracting the vmdk's but each time we get the below screen on boot. Has anyone else successfully got the ODNS VA to run in AHV? I've tried editing the vm's xml file to change the video type and vram but no luck as of yet:[img]https://d1qy7qyune0vt1.cloudfront.net/nutanix-us/attachment/df42756e-6765-4971-8d7f-63a99d3f8651.png[/img]

I am looking for a solution to change the web GUI password of the user nutanix in Xtract 2.0.3. In the doc I only see how to change it during the first login. I have already opened a ticket with support. But there I was told to redeploy the Xtract VM to change the password. This is not really a solution for me to spend all the time again to have all configured just to have another password. Can someone help me with that?

Does anyone know of a way to adjust the Gateway Timeout setting?

If we use the ESXi/Hyper-v as the Hypervisor, does the Satadom will be formatted(Removing AHV) and then install ESXi? What happens to CVM in this case? Any manual operation is required?

Please help me with the following: Where do the AOS sit? Is it inside the CVM or on the SATA DOM? Is AHV created when the AOS is installed or vice versa

Hi all. I have read the document about the different failure scenarios. For me it is still not clear, what really happens, if the data resiliency status is still critical and another node fails. In the doc I read this: With two sets of physical disks that are inaccessible, there would be a chance that some VM data extents are missing completely. In our starting time when using Nutanix (version 3.x) I remember our Nutanix partner was telling me, in such a case the cluster stops to make sure data keeps consistent. Do I have some UVMs that are not working any more correctly or is cluster stopping and all UVMs are stopped? Thank you very much. Kind regards, Stefan

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

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 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
