As the most of you probably know, with AOS 5.6, has been introduced the Volume Group with Load Balancing function, well known as VGLB As i know the 5.6 version is in short term support. Now i'm deploying a two Oracle 12c RAC clusters on 2 8000 6-nodes AOS-AHV clusters with AOS 5.5.3.1. It involves using volume group with multiple vdisk, network related configuration, Linux related tuning and so on... Of course, with 5.5.3.1 (so far the latest GA version in long term support), i've not the VGLS choice, every volume group's I/O is managed by a single CVM. By the other side, with AOS 5.6, i could distribute this load on every single CVM and every single node storage on the cluster. Of couse this heavily impact on the resiliency, the performance and the resources distribution. The questions are two and i need some suggestions. 1) could be better to upgrade to 5.6 even if it is in short term support? 2) is it possible to update "on the fly" the volumes's configuration with "vg.upd

Hi, I need to download AOS 5.5.3.1 for a new cluster but I don't find the link for this version. where I can find the link ? Thank You

Hi everyone I tried to reboot hosts using "Request Reboot" in the gear icon. But its progress completely stucked at 24%. How can I resolve this situation? AOS 5.1.2 ESXi 6.0 [img]https://d1qy7qyune0vt1.cloudfront.net/nutanix-us/attachment/3437iB78F1382FE5E852B.png[/img]

Can anyone tell me if the inter-site (not intra-site, I am talking about DR replication traffic between clusters) is moved to the backplane traffic port when network segmentation is enabled? The Prism Web Console Guide v5.5 does not say so (it only mentions intra-cluster traffic): [quote]The traffic entering and leaving a Nutanix cluster can be broadly classified into the following types: [i]Backplane traffic[/i]Backplane traffic is intra-cluster traffic that is necessary for the cluster to function, and comprises traffic between CVMs, traffic between CVMs and hosts, storage traffic, and so on. (For nodes that have RDMA-enabled NICs, the CVMs use a separate RDMA LAN for Stargate-to-Stargate communications.) [i]Management traffic[/i]Management traffic is administrative traffic, or traffic associated with Prism and SSH connections, remote logging, SNMP, and so on. The current implementation simplifies the definition of management traffic to be any traffic that is not on the back

Hi, I'm struggling with backups while using KVM. We've been using snapshots for our standard backup process and these work just fine within the cluster. I can recover a VM either as a new clone to retrieve lost files or to directly replace the original in case of a major crash. My next problem is exporting those snapshots to another cluster (since DR isn't available for KVM yet) or to a non-Nutanix archival server. That appears not to be possible. Everything I've been suggested so far involves backing up the VM internally or copying the iSCSI device with dd which would involve us having two completely separate backup processes running in parallel. Not fun. Is there a way to export the Nutanix drives to another server? Logically they must exist somewhere so should be copyable.

Hi When a blueprint creates an appliction the values of the variables are displayed on the overview page of the application. However if the variables contain calm macros, for example @ @{address}@@ then that text is display and not the value of the macro. I have a blueprint which creates a web service that the user who runs the blueprint needs to connect to using their web browser. My idea was to have the URL in a variable so it would appear in the overview page and the user could just copy and paste it into their browser. It would be even better if the blueprint could open the web page for the user.

I have encountered an issue while migrating to a dvs, I am running esxi 6.5 on a 3 node cluster. The setup is new so there are no VMs apart from the CVMs and a test VM on the host. The dvs already exists and I am doing one node at a time and as such I added one of the NICs from node A to the dvs. I then did a quick test with the test VM on each port group I have configured to confirm connectivity. I then attempted to migrate the VM Network port group created on vSwitch0 that the CVM on node A was connected to, the migration "worked" but connectivity to the CVM was lost. In addition to losing connectivity to the CVM on node A, I am now unable to access prism from any of the CVMs or cluster IP. The page loads but once I attempt to login nothing happens. I even powered off node A in hopes that I can get to prism but still no luck. All CVMs and the cluster IP are reachable via IP, the esxi hosts for node B and C are also fine and reachable. Not sure where to go from here other than tear do

I installed Prism Central but when I try to log, all the user and pass are bad, I try with , admin admin, admin Nutanix/4u, admin nutanix/4u Any idea?

Hi I have a calm blue print which the user can use to create an app which does some processing depending on the value of variables specified by the user and stores the result in persistent storage. But then the user has to remeber to delete the application. Is there any way to get the blue print to delete the application affter it has done the processing? I can shutdown the VM by having the service start call service stop with a task to execute "shutdown -h +1" but that still leaves the app

I deployed a Nutanix Cluster (AOS version 5.8) with ESXi 6.5. And I deployed a Prism Central 5.8 on it. There're some articles on internet, saying App Management supports ESXi, starting from PrismCentral version 5.7. Is it true? In my case, I can't find [b]Self Service & Apps[/b] from the pull-down list, when I click question mark icon in the main menu on PrismCentral 5.8. I did see "PC Scale out", "Enable app management" and "Microsegmentation", but not "[b]Self Service & Apps".[/b] When I click "Enable app management", I see the following error. [list] [*]Precheck failures: [/list] Host Cluster Registered Please check that the cluster on which this Prism Central is hosted is registered to it. I had already registered my Nutanix cluster into this PrismCentral. It looks to me that App management or self service doesn't support ESXi, correct? Or is there anything I missed?

Does anyone know if/how I can get a count of all vDisks in my cluster, including vDisks associated with snapshots? We want to increase our data retention and it appears the limitation on snapshots is the number of vDisks so I need to figure out how many we have with our current number of VMs and snapshots. Running AOS 5.6, NCC 3.5.2, Hyper-V 2012r2. Any help appreciated, please let me know if there's more info I can provide. Thanks! David

Hello, When I try to do a consistent snapshot I get this: Warning : Vss snapshot failed for the VM(s) xxx, protected by xxx because Quiescing guest VM(s) failed or timed out. Impact : Crash consistent snapshot is taken instead of application consistent snapshot. Cause : Guest is not able to quiesce VM due to internal error. The servers has the NGT installed, are alone in the consistency group. Before I open a case, I'd like to have your hindsight. Thanks.

Hello, I'm curious if anyone else has had issue getting Windows authentication with WS-man setup within CALM for the Login Check and remote execution of scripts. I have followed the docs and redone the setup a few times for validation, but the login check still fails with a vague error that just says to check out WINRM troubleshooting help. What's odd is that after I provision the Windows image, I can manually invoke commands for remote execution and login with the following command against the newly provisioned IP: PS C:\Users\Administrator> Invoke-Command -ComputerName 10.32.4.246 -ScriptBlock { $PSVersionTable.PSversion } -Credential administrator@domain.com My Karan service is installed and configured with a domain administrator, all PS commands in the document have been run as "administrator" on the Karan server and the target base Windows image as required. CredSSP has been run on the Karan server to allow all hosts as Trusted Hosts and the command to enable Cre

I know in Calm you can create variables in the service, and then use those variables throughout the config using @@{service.variable}@@. However, it doesn't seem like you can use those in cloud-init scripts. I'd like to be able to pass a variable that the user sets at the time of deployment (the IP address), which would then be used in the cloud-init script. I've tried something like this, to no avail: [code]#cloud-config hostname: HAProxy1 fqdn: HAProxy1.domain.com ssh_pwauth: yes write_files: - path: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 content: | DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO="none" IPADDR="@@{HAProxy1.IP_Address}@@" PREFIX="24" GATEWAY="172.25.51.254" DOMAIN="VIPCUSTOMERS.COM VTINFO.COM" DEFROUTE="yes" ONBOOT="yes" DNS1="172.25.51.10" DNS2="172.25.51.2" IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL="yes" IPV6INIT="no" runcmd: - [ifdown, eth0] - [ifup, eth0] [/code] Where HAProxy1.IP_Address is a u

Hi, Nutanix announced EOL of NX-6035C-G5. I can make new scenario with it if few month my customer doesn't buy? Could someone help me? Thanks,

Hi all is there any guide for what ESXi version/build-number is support or unsupport about Foundation? Sometimes I need to know what version Foundation can install what version ESXi Or I only use the newest version Foundation to install older version ESXi? Does it always work? I hope there will be some information let me know when I install older ESXi on newer Nutanix using newer Foundation Some Costomers not always use the newest ESXi thanks!

Hi all, today I wanted to upgrade NOS on one of our clusters from 4.1.x to 4.6.3 which worked perfectly fine for another cluster. The first CVM was updated successfully but the next CVM Update failed. (Maybe due to connectivity issues to the host.) upgrade_status says, that the node is upgrading right now, but in fact the CVM is powered off and won't boot. After it displays the following information it reboots fails again and after the second reboot it stays shut down. [img]https://d1qy7qyune0vt1.cloudfront.net/nutanix-us/attachment/1602iFCB5A15E5BD1AD05.png[/img] Is there a simple fix for this or do I have to open a support ticket? EDIT: it seems like the update process tried to shut down this cvm but got a timeout and now the update is somehow stuck. Can I somehow restart the upgrade process or manually update this CVM? Thank you.

Hi, Does prism has multi-tenancy? We want do like belows. [list] [*]User A can see and manage user A's VM. But user A can't see and manage other user's VM. [*]Cluster Admin can see and manage about Hypervisor, Hardware, and so on. But Cluster admin can't manage VMs.[/list]Best Regards,

Good evening. We are evaluating some nutanix offerings from a local partner. However I have some Microsoft related question and the partner is taking too long to respond. 1- Is there a version of Nutanix Acropolis/PRISM (4 node)that allows me to run unlimited Windows VMs without me needing to purchase a MS Windows DataCenter Core License from Microsoft? 2- Is there a PRISM/Acropolis Pro version that comes with a built in Windows Datacenter valid license? Or 3-Do I need (as usual) to buy my Datacenter Core licenses to properly license my new Windows VMs? Thanks

Can I use Hycu without Calm and Prism Central? if I can, how to I use it? Our hypervisor is ESXI. Could you recommend some documents. Thanks.

I attempted an upgrade of NCC however it is stuck. Is there a way to restart the upgrade?

I have a BOM based in cluster 1465 G6 and the end customer wants the estimate IOPS or performance that the solution can be reach. ¿Where I can get this information? Regards.

Just implementing a new cluster and I've ran foundation with NOS4.5.1.2 and ESX 6. The ESXi hosts have not yet been connected to vCenter. One of the post image steps is to set the correct time zone for the cluster. It says that each CVM needs to be shutdown in Serial. Is this a simple case of connecting to a each ESXi host and shutting down the CVM, Power it back on, connect to the CVM, via http://cvmip to check that it is up, then move on to the next ESXi host and repeat? Thanks Chris
