Hi, Can anyone help me find a way to stop the creation of a remote site. I was told it would take around 10-15 minutes, but so far after 3 hours it is still running at 0%! There is probably some configuration issues on the network, so I would like to fix that up first and try again. For the life of me, however, I cannot find how to stop the task. Regards, Nick

Hi, We have a cluster of Dell XC730xd-12 and would like to update them to ESXi U3a (to match the rest of our vSphere environment). I know Dell don't have a customised ESXi U3a iso yet, so is there any advice on how to do the upgrade such as any specific extra drivers required in the Update Manager baseline or will I be able to use the json and the vanilla VMware zip and use one-click cluster upgrade? Regards, Nick

Greetings community members! I am brand new to the Nutanix platform and have completed my basic initial configuration of my nodes on ESXi 5.5U2, however I am having trouble finding (not through lack of Google-fu) a complete guide on what Nutanix recommends as BPs for configuring hosts for ESXi. This raises some questions... e.g: Should I add anything to my node's Advanced Settings? Should I chanage the power settings Active Policy to High Performance? What is the definitive guide to HA settings with respect to the nodes, VM monitoring, policies therein, etcetera ? Not that this is an exhaustive list of questions, but I forgot to ask our Nutanix Pro Services rep before he left...and I could not immediately find what I need unless I am looking in the wrong place! :$ [i]Edit: Some of what I asked is in the [url=https://portal.nutanix.com/#/page/docs/details?targetId=vSphere_Admin-Acr_v4_5:vSphere_Admin-Acr_v4_5]vSphere Administration Guide for Acropolis[/url] which is very h

Just had the cluster installed. I'm going to patch my 5.5 installs, I put the first node into maintance mode and its just waiting for the CVM to power off or move. Should the CVM shutdown on its own or do I need to power it off before I patch and reboot? thanks,jb

Hi all, My present client is making me working on a design implying to deploy a XAAS plateform with a lot of security inside (NSX is on the cook list). In our team, i was declared as the nutanix man. My mission is to determine the best way to isolate storage from diffrent workload : [list] [*]we'll have an integration zone, a developpement and a production zone as PAAS. [*]Some node will executed heavy VDI (K2 graphic cards will achieve this), [*]Then we'll have a IAAS with vcloud SP for the sandbox zone).[/list]So we can imagine some sort of multicluster with 3 cluster dedicated to 3 zones : 3D VDI zone / SANDBOX IAAS zone / and PAAS zone. It implies at least 9 nodes which is a bit too much for starting plateform. [b]My question is[/b], can I make a 6 node cluster for nutanix / storage point, with 3 volumes pools on all 6 node ? and more than that what will it implies in terms of storage performance, data protection, data seggregation (security team will challenge me heavily on

Hi all, I read the acropolis administration guide and the Acropolis hypervisor Best Practices guide. thanks lot i would it and i have it. It's explain how to create bridge, bond, separe 10Gb interface and 1G interface. But nothing for create a network vlan (tagin or native) on the NEW bridge. If you try by the GUI like this [img]https://d1qy7qyune0vt1.cloudfront.net/nutanix-us/attachment/722i398F93F01768FE81.png[/img] The network will be created in the native Bridge (BR0) so if we are in this situtation : (best practice 4.1.2.1) [img]https://d1qy7qyune0vt1.cloudfront.net/nutanix-us/attachment/723i317753D8C4A0B474.png[/img] the commands are : nutanix@CVM$ allssh "ssh root@192.168.5.1 "ovs-vsctl add-br br1" " nutanix@CVM$ allssh "manage_ovs --bridge_name br0 --bond_name bond0 --interfaces 10g update_uplinks" nutanix@CVM$ allssh "manage_ovs --bridge_name br1 --bond_name bond1 --interfaces 1g update_uplinks" and for create the Network : ac

Hi all, Does anyone tell me the number of hosts you can add to a cluster when you are using acropolis hypervisor. I understand that the number of hosts you can add to a cluster depends on the hypervisor you use. For example, if it were configured with ESXi 6.0, the number of hosts you can add would be 64 hosts. I appreciate if anyone tell me the limitations for acropolis hypervisor if there is any. Thank you

Hi Have seen a few articles regarding Commvault Intellisnap support being available but cannot seem to find anything in the available documentation. Does anybody know what the deal is? Cheers

Hi there, I'm facing a problem with Prism that display some weird chart. As you can see above, the chart shows no value (blank) every 6mins. [img]https://d1qy7qyune0vt1.cloudfront.net/nutanix-us/attachment/685iB57C026A9AF18DE6.png[/img] When I go to the analysis page, the blank is still present and there is some strange movement of the Memory line: [img]https://d1qy7qyune0vt1.cloudfront.net/nutanix-us/attachment/686i56E0C99ADEDE0F4A.png[/img] Do you know where this could come from ?

I need to import from KVM (CentOS 6.6) on Acropolis 4.5 a VM RedHat 4.4 with ide disks (RH 4.4 doesn't support Virtio). I have created a new VM from acli with IDE disk:acli vm.disk_create TEST_RH44create_size=80G container=cnt1 bus=ideacli vm.nic_create TEST_RH44 network=vlan.0. Now I have to import the source VM disk image (ASdisk01.img), How to import it as ide on the new VM on Nutanix?

Hi, i'm doing a testing on Nutanix with AHV. there is a warning of "10G Compliance"-CVM is running in lower speed. any additional configuration that i need to to on nutanix? any guide? below is the snapshot [img]https://d1qy7qyune0vt1.cloudfront.net/nutanix-us/attachment/677iD2264B53EBD63CCA.png[/img] [img]https://d1qy7qyune0vt1.cloudfront.net/nutanix-us/attachment/678iDC5EF686EFC646B0.png[/img]

Hi Community, I would like to deploy Prism central to manage 2 clusters. Until now, nothing complex. The issue is : Prism Central is provided as an OVA to be deployed with ESX but I'm using KVM/Acropolis. Is there a way to import it ? Can you please provide me with some guidance ? Thanks a lot.

I'm putting together a design for a 3 node cluster with the 6000 series nodes. The first block is 6235-G4, the second block, I'm a bit confused. I could get another identicle block with 1 node ( 6135-G4), but there is also the option of getting a 6135C, which is single socket, less RAM, smaller SSD and crappier CPU. It's cheaper and will make the min 3 node cluster, but I'm wondering what kind of performance hit it will have for the overall solution. Am I better off getting a 6135-G4 and being done with it?

Hi guys, i'm a potential new Nutanix customer here in Italy ! Actually 43 VM's 6.5TB, 20% CPU average use (6X Xeon 5680 CPU) 400 write/iops average during 24hours and 3000 of peak. The goal is two sites in stretched cluster with sync writes, connected with 2x1Gbs fiber and upgradable to 10Gbs if it is necessary to this project. Actually we have 6 cpu vmware ent. license, 6 cpu Veeam ent.plus license and 6 CPU Microsoft OEM License that i need to rebuy with the new hardware. One key point is the Oracle VM, we've 6 cpu standard one license and Oracle want to license all Vsphere cluster, we discussed with Oracle Italy and with two legals...and that's it! Our partner send me two projects variant: 1) 6 nodes dual socket, 3 per site with 12 Haswell v3 cpu 72 cores in global. 2) 6 nodes single socket, 3 per site with 6 Ivy bridge v2 CPU 60 cores in global. With the number 1 i need to create and buy a dedicated vsphere cluster to run Oracle across 2 of 6 node, I can also use this second cl

Hi All, In Version 4.0, automatic download for NOS Upgrades does not work if HTTP Proxy is enabled. Can someone confirm that this is fixed in the latest releases? Thanks in advance. Wim

Hi, i'm quite new with nutanix and I currently doing a planning for a project for one of my client. the plan is to copy over VMs in their production site and then later to move the nutanix to their secondary site. The question is how do change the IP addresses for nutanix equipment when moved to the secondary site. What other option that i can consider? Hypervisor will be VMware 5.5 Update 2.

Hello, In NOS Version 4.1.3 SyncRep for Hyper-V is release, which enables to have stretch cluster on Hyper-V as mentioned in release notes, Is there any configuration guide or document highlighting similar to Metro Availibility Best Practise document but for Hyper-V. Appreciate.. vF.P

I would like to install Windows 2012R2 Datacenter GUI on all Nutanix 3460 all nodes instead of Windows core, can i do that? please suggest, I don't like working on powershell..

I have three protection domains, all containing VM's. All three have schedules set and I can see that local snapshots are being made. I have restored machines with no issues. All seems well, but I am getting "Backup Schedule" health warnings on all three PD's. [b][i]Causes of failure[/i][/b][i]No backup schedule exists for protection domain protecting some entities.[/i] [i]Backup schedule exists for protection domain not protecting any entity.[/i] Neither of the above suggestions is true. I can't seem to get this one to resolve. Is this a bug or is there something here I am missing?

Hello - Can someone reply with the complete power specifications for the Nutanix NX-6260 ( NX-6060 )? I know these have dual power supplies. Please provide the following at minimum: 1.) Voltage of each power supply - I think these are 208V Single Phase 2.) Amps per power supply 3.) Watts per powerr supply 4.) Power Cable Ends - Please confirm - I think these are C13/C14 for each power supply. We do not yet have the boxes so I need to prepare for the power requirements of these devices. I am looking at two of the Tripp-Lite PDU Basic 208V/240V 30A C13 10 Outlet L6-30P Horizontal 1U - MFG Part #: PDUH30HV Also wondering what others are using. Thank You. Sam

Sorry to have to post this, but can't find any documentation on how I actually enable EX-X? I am at 4.1.1.4 but upgrade if required. Just trying to figure out how to turn it on? Thanks, Erik

Hi All, Anybody knows the md5 checksum of vmware vpshere 6 enterprise plus for the Nutanix NX-1050. I am planning to install vsphere 6 on this server. The current OS on the server is vsphere 5.5.0 U2 and the license is expired.

I have 3 x 3000 series node each with 256GBs of RAM, and 1 cluster. - 7.2TB Total SSD Flash (2.4TBx3 nodes)- 12TB Usable HDD (before de-duplication/compression)-  2.6GHz/20 Cores, 6 Physical CPUs: 60 Total cores-  768GB Total memory We are running pure Acropolis. The monster VM workload is a Progress database that is 7TB in size and has 200GB RAM allocated to it. We are setting this up as a PoC to migrate off a standalone ESXi host with a Violin all flash array. Previously, the VM on VMware was only pushing 12,000 IOPs. What should we be doing to optimize the performance for this VM? Multiple virtual scsi adapters? Also, is there a way to see if the working set is exceeding the node cache capability?
