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

Hi AOS 5.5.2 HypervisorNutanix 20170830.120 From one of several nodes A warning alarm occurs. The message is as follows. Detailed information for disk_usage_check: Node xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx WARN: /home usage at 84% (greater than threshold, 80%) Refer to KB 1523 (http://portal.nutanix.com/kb/1523) for details on disk_usage_check I checked that node into CVM. I deleted the download file used for the upgrade, but it is still 82%, but I do not know what to clean up. I want to know the solution. Or should I open the case? I wonder. Please ask for advice. Thank you.

I'm monitoring server from NUTANIX found memory full 100% anytime , How can I fix for this problem?

DPM of Microsoft can integrated with Nutanix Acropolis Hypervisor?

I opened the software auto download function，hope to be able to upgrade automatically. !!!! WTF? Why can't upload pictures！！！！！！！！！ In that case, I'll simply describe it with words. on prism web,I cannot stop or finish downloading, even though this download task has been stuck for a long time. In other words, buttons or options without relevant functions. The Official Handbook is inquired. The description in this respect is very crude. It has not helped me. can i consult login via SSH terminate the download，Or what other effective ways? by the way,Technical support for the community is too bad to use at all.

Hello Guys,As far as I know AFS not supported in a Hyper - v environment, but when I look at software updates I see that there is an option to install AFS, out of curiosity I have installed the same and it even gives an option configure Network & IP for the AFS? My question is, would is really work in hyper-v 212 environment?

My issue is related to installing the Direct Access role on a AHV VM running server 2016. Here is my environment. AOS: 5.6 Hypervisor: Nutanix 20170830.115 Windows OS: Server 2016 VirtIO Drivers 1.1.2 Server Imaged with SCCM I've deployed many Direct Access servers in the past and I am seeing very unique issues with trying to configure it on AHV for the first time. 1.) After configuring the role, the Tunnel adapter 6TO4 is NOT created 2.)After configuring the role, the Tunnel adapter IPHTTPSInterface is NOT created 3.)After configuring the role, the server fails to retrieve gpudpates 4.) Upon rebooting the server, the Distributed Transaction Coordinator service fails to start. However, if I deploy the EXACT same server image on a VMware VM, it works perfectly. Is there a known issue when deploying the DirectAccess role on a AHV(KVM) VM?

Hi, Im currently looking into a 3-node Cluster layout with NX-1155 hosts and PRO license as Remote Site for DR. I would like to go for 3 nodes instead of a single node configuration because it can withstand block/node failures. But Im trying to keep it low on the price scale. The one thing that keeps bothering me is that I want to be able to start a few user vms on the Remote Site. I know its possible but 64GB of RAM per host isnt much especially when the CVM blocks at least 24. It has to compete against a 3node CE installation which im not in favour because i would like to have support/production grade software. But I could get hosts that supports more RAM and start more VMs if I need to. What do you think?

Using CALM, it seems the best way to deploy VMs is from a VM image that you add to the Image Configuration store. However, when using Prism Central, it doesn't seem this is possible with ACLI to create an image from an AHV VM. How are people taking an AHV VM in PC inventory and making an image out of it so that you can add it to the image configuration repository? Thanks!

I recently upgraded my three clusters to AOS 5.5.06, AHV 20170830.94, and Prism Central 5.5 I noticed that after this upgrade, the ability to update the VM running Prism Central is now greyed out, as is the Power Off Actions. My instance of Prism Central has 16GiB of memory and is running at 96%+ memory usage. I'd sure like to increase its memory and reboot it via the proper procedure. I SSH'd into the VM and ran top to see the big memory users and the 'insights_server' and a few 'java' tasks are consuming over 10% each. Has doc been created on troubleshooting PC 5.5 VM issues?
