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.

True or False: The SSD boot drive on an NX-3450 also contains the cassandra metadata.?

Good afternoon, Can someone please sanity check something for me, one of the BEarena team is running a diagnostics test which is taking 7-8 minutes to deploy each diagnostics VM. What is considered to be a normal amount of time? At this rate the 8 node cluster will take over 1 hour to run diagnostics. Thanks Darryl

Does anyone know how to enable deduplication?I don't see my option in container update in my NX-1420

Dear All , For importing Vm's from the existing vmware envirronment to Nutanix cluster I extracted the below note from Nutanix admin doc. [i]Note: Due to a limitation with VMware vSphere, a temporary name and ip address of a controller VM must be used to mount the Target NFS datastore on both the source host and the target host for this procedure.[/i] 1.Could you please help in this what this temporary name and ip mean? the CVM ip addrress of the nutanix host is already configured ,shall i need to modify it ? or keep it as it is? 2. For target host (Nutanix Host) it is clear that it contains CVM but for the current (Not Nutanix Host) there are no CVM. 3.This should be done through adding storage on both hosts .Right? Mount the target NFS datastore on the source host and on the target host (you can mount NFS datastores in vSphere client by clicking Add Storage on the Configuration>Storage screen for a host) [b]so instead of using the CVM ip of the target host (Nutanix Host) in Se

Hello folks, What are the advantages and disadvantages for use of LACP to improve east/west traffic and prevent unnecessary north/south traffic? Are there any documents on it's use for a Nutanix installation? Is the use of LACP very common for Nutanix installations? Are there folks kicking themselves for not implementing LACP. Thank you for your opinions.

We are in the process of identifyng datacenter requirements for our Nutanix installation. One statement I recently heard was that the 1 gig ports for the nodes were primarily to address security concerns and that the 10 gig ports would satisfy most customers. Is this true? Are there any other downside issues to not using the 1 gig ports?

Hello, is there a NOS Hardening Guide available? two specific questions: is there a Firewall running on the CVM? can I install my own ssl certificate? thx and best regards Manfred

Hello - I am going through the NPP 4.x tutorial and I was wondering if someone can explain to me vDisks in the context below. I guess I don't fully understand what vDisks are. [i](Copied from the tutorial):[/i] [i]"If user data for VDI is kept on a vDisk that is attached to the end-user VM, you can store the user data vDisks on a compressed container and the VM vDisks on an uncompressed container."[/i] Thanks in advance.

Hello - Does anyone know if there is an IPMItool command to set the interface to 100MB full duplex? Is this option to change it even available? We are having some IPMI issue where connectivity drops every so often. We are working with networking to check their side, and we've done various things to test/isolate the issue. On the network switch side, the ports have been configured to 100MB from 1GgE. One suggestion that came up from networking is to set the IPMI interface to 100MB full duplex. Thank you. RV

Hello - I am studying for the NPP exam and the online guide talks about Foundation and Phoenix. Does anyone know if these utilities are available for download to customers? Thanks! RV

It looks like my CVM's running 4.0.1.1 are vulnerable to the now hyped-up CVE-2014-6271. What is the official Nutanix stance on remediating the vulnerability - should I wait for an NOS hotfix or can I pull down the relevant CentOS patch?

I am trying to create a Protection Domain, but can't figure out how to supply the name of the Protection Domain. I have to use a string and a JSON object as body parameter, but it keeps throwing errors. JSON objects I have tried: {"name":"MyTestName"} {"body":"MyTestName"} {"input":"MyTestName"} [img]https://d1qy7qyune0vt1.cloudfront.net/nutanix-us/attachment/242i378211DE73A19CAF.png[/img]
