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?

hi, in the vsphere administrative guide its mentioned to use vmware SRM along with nutanix SRA for the remote replication.if nutanix have its own replication method what is the significance of SRM? Thanks in adance. RGDS rj

I cannot seem to get Active Directory authentication configured and cannot figure out why. After following the directions in the support article "Configuring Authentication" I receive the message "Directory config name is invalid". Here is what I have tried: using the IP rather than the host name, turning off the firewall on the DC, using a different AD host, trying different ports (i.e. 389 and 3268), trying a different browser (firefox and IE), specifying the full directory path (/ou=,dc=,dc=) - nothing seems to work. I just keep getting the error message "Directory config name is invalid". I can ping the DC host from the CVM using the FQDN; firewall issues have been ruled out by turning off the firewall; the LDAP url is typed correctly. My thought is that this feature simply isn't working correctly on 4.1.3. Has anyone else experienced problems getting AD configured properly?

This is probably in the wrong Forum but I couldn't see a more appropriate one to use. Has Nutanix issues a staement in relation to the Leap Second adjustment that's occuring on June 30th and whether it's likely to cause any problems? Thanks

Hi, There is a fun bug with version 4.1.2.1 ... (or its me?.. :cathappy: ) In version 4.1.1.4, it was possible to update Hypervisor via PRISM UI (with version 5.5u2), but in version 4.1.2.1, its not possible :(see below) [img]https://d1qy7qyune0vt1.cloudfront.net/nutanix-us/attachment/399i01EE9B994C869CA1.png[/img] Thks guys !

Hi Everyone, I've planed to deploy Spunk on Nutanix on my Company. But i'm newbie in Nutanix, so I have some question about this: 1. Nutanix have hypervisor which I can use is ESXi, HyperV,KVM... so in my case, I will use Esxi and rehat to install Splunk. it's mean I have install Splunk on Redhat which is running on ESXi, is it right? Can i install Redhat directly to Nutanix server (1 node have 4 server?) 2. About the Cluster, Which is control the cluster on VM Host? Vmware vCenter or Nutanix Prism Central? 3. Nutanix have an OS is VM Controller? is it install on Vmware machine or is it a hypervisor? Thanks for all reply to make my clear this stuff.

Hello folks, We recently installed NOS version 4.1.1.4 on all our clusters and Prism Central. Some folks have asked if we can increase the timeout for the Prism Central. How can this be done? Thanks.

Hi Everybody, I'm new to Nutanix, I'm having my first node installed on Monday so ery excited ! I have the chance to dedicate a Nutanix host for a Lab and will have the time to play around with it. I've seen that 192.168.5.0/24 is a dedicated subnet for the CVM, but this is also the subnet in which my Lab resides. Is it ok to use the CVM and the production VM in the same subnet ? What are the options ? I've been told the CVM network cannot be changed. But is it ok to have the VMs and the IPMI in the same LAN ? For a production environment I can understand that security wise and performance wise, this is mandatory to split the subnets but in my case this is a bit different. Thanks. Cheers. Fred.

With the release of cloud connect, you can backup to Amazon using a CVM running as an instance. Is the CVM cloud agnostic? Can we run it in other environments, such as vCloud Air, Azure or partner vClouds?

Is there a metric I can add from the Analysis section of the Web UI that would show me stats on a Protection Domain replication?

Hi, in the platform admin guide is mentioned that there can be only 1 node failure at one time. What happens if a complete block get's lost? thanks and best regards

I was looking for confirmation about a statement that I recently heard that the best practice for the power supply voltage for a block was 220 volts. And that if 110 volts was used, it was less likely that one power supply could handle the load if one power supply failed. Thank you.
