Solved

Currently, I have a Nutanix Acropolis PRO (P1.0) license where the ‘Multiple Site DR’ feature is limited. By upgrading the license to P2.0, if I understand correctly, this feature should be unlocked, enabling the possibility of having Multiple Site DR as many-to-many. Is this correct?”Is there anything else you need help with regarding this upgrade?Thank you for your help

Hi there,  I am trying to install the CE version for testing in my home lab with a MSI cubi 5, I am using an NVMe drive and a SATA SSD for DATA and CVM respectively, and I thought I could use a USB stick for the AHV, however, I get a timeout whenever I try to run the installation even though I increased the timeout in the installer_vm.py, any suggestions?  Thanks!

Right after I accpet the EULA the screen is terminating with this error “QEMU limits the disk serial length to 36, Serial is found duplicate after truncation XY”. Now I can’t find anything on the web related to this problem, so I’m going to ask it. What does this error mean and how could solve it? I’m using the CE version 2.1 

Unable to expand cluster from prism UI, host and CVM IPs are reachable on the target node. Pls suggest ways to expand the cluster.  

はじめまして。Nutanixの勉強を始めたてのものです。的外れな質問をしてしまうこともあるかもしれませんが、どうぞよろしくお願いいたします。早速ですが、AHV/CVMのディスク構成に関して質問させていただきたいことがあります。1. AHV/CVMのインストールディスクについてNutanix CE（AHV/CVM）をインストールする際に、[H][C][D]のディスクを選択すると思います。これらの用途について、以下の理解でいるのですが正しいでしょうか？・[H]・・・AHVのインストールディスク・[C]・・・CVMのインストールディスク・[D]・・・AHV上で仮想マシンやvolumeとして利用できるディスク（＝ストレージプール）2. SSD層/HDD層はどこから割り当てられる？上記で相違ない場合、SSD層(ホットデータ層)/HDD層(コールドデータ層)は、各ノードの[D]から自動で判別され割り当てられるようになるのでしょうか？3. [C]の用途について[C]はCVMのインストールディスクとなる認識ですが、それにしては[C]の容量要件が多い気がしています。CVM単体でそこまで容量を利用するものなのでしょうか？以上です。無知で申し訳ないのですがご教示いただけますと幸いです。

I have several Citrix clusters with NX-8170-G8 and NX-8170-G9 nodes.  I want to perform updates but the VMs will not migrate. VMs need to be power cycled in order to get the VMs revert to the lower CPU in the cluster.I was looking for script that i can run in the intelligent ops playbook that will Identify the VMs that needs to be power cycled, and power cycle them.  Can assist with script to get the state of the VMs that needs to be power cycled?  Power cycle the VMs which don't have APC configured.  Power cycle the VMS which don't have APC configured to ensure CPU compatibility. Power cycle all the VMS in the cluster to ensure CPU compatibility. How do I find VMs that do not have APC configured? This one of the VMs affected that needs to be power cycled.{  can_clear_removed_from_host_uuid: True  config {    agent_vm: False    allow_live_migrate: True    annotation: "Updated 4/14/23 to match Xen Snapshot 35"    apc_config {      apc_enabled: False    }    bios_uuid: "71ca6758-0ee3-49d

We have just had a new cluster installed and its running AHV, I have used Nutanix for about 6 years but always with ESX so its all a bit new to me!I’m sure I’ll have a few questions but currnetly I have this annoying issue! I have uploaded a few images to PC, qcow2 files, but when I deploy a VM using the images it always creates the VMs in the selfservicecontainer storage container, which is a tad annoying as I then have to move it manually using  acli vm.update_container vm-name container=container name wait=false In PC the storage container drop down box for the VM is grayed out so I can’t change it in the PC web GUI.  the cli works but I would like to create the VM in what ever storage container I want without having to move it after the event!  Is this possible? 

Hey,I have some older Nutanix hardware: the NX-1465-G5. It’s currently running an outdated version of AOS. I’m looking to reinstall the appliance with version 6.10. Is the G5 model compatible with AOS 6.10? Is there compatibility for my equipment?Thanks!

Hey,I deploy my 2024.2 PC over AOS 6.10.It XL cluster with scale.I register PE to PC and now I want to change the default password of PC (username->Change Password). But get the errorError updating admin password in Athena. What can I do to fix that? Thanks

Greetings everyone,I have been successful at creating a rest api call to ADD a category to the VM.  The issue is we only want 1 category per VM, so if the VM already has a category assigned we want it to REPLACE the value and not ADD it.  With my current code (ie: use GET command of VM, remove Status, replace categories and categories_mapping then use PUT command) the JSON object looks good before uploading but afterwards I see the new category and the old one.  I tried using a PATCH command but AHV doesn’t like that (and it isn’t in the documentation either).   New Category = NEW_CATVM Original State:    "categories": {      "OLD_CAT": "OLD_CAT",    } VM Post My Update State:    "categories": {      "OLD_CAT": "OLD_CAT",      "NEW_CAT": "NEW_CAT"    } VM Desired State:    "categories": {      "NEW_CAT": "NEW_CAT"    }Any help would be greatly appreciated.

HelloI’m testing an install on a DL360 Gen10+ server. The server has an NS-204i boot controller with 2 x  disks and there is an MR216 controller with 2 x 3.84TB disks (believe they are PM893a).I have tried the install a few times but have been wiping the server each time it fails. I’ve now got to the stage where it fails with the same error each time so I need to know why its failing."CRITICAL svm_rescue:1046 No suitable SVM boot disk found"Should I have three arrays in the server? One for AHV, one for SVM/CVM and one for storage?How/where do I run lsscsi" to check for partitions that may need to be removed?Thanks in advance for any help with this.ThanksRussell

いつもお世話になっております。 Nutanix MOVEを使ってvCenter + ESXi環境のVMをNutanix AHVに移行しようと思っているのですが、MOVEのコンパチガイド(Supported AOS, ESXi, and Hyper-V Version)を見るとPrism Centralのバージョンの記載がありました。Prism Centralのバージョンとの互換性確認が必要になるときはNutanix AHVから同じくNutanix AHVに移行するとき等で、vCenter + ESXi環境のVMをNutanix AHVに移行するときは関係ない認識でよいでしょうか？ 以上、よろしくお願いいたします。

Hi,I upgraded AOS 6.8.1 to 6.10 but now I have a version incompatible with AHV and it is impossible via LCM to upgrade AHV. In the related KB 15185 there is a workaround but it does not work in my nested environment. Does anyone have a suggestion?Thanks

有識者の皆様 標題の件についてご教示お願いします。クラスタからノードを削除して別のクラスタに追加 or 新規クラスタ構築をする場合に、Foundationによる初期化は必須でしょうか？それとも初期化をせずにそのまま利用できるものでしょうか？（バージョンは統一されている前提）ラボでノード削除～ノード追加を実施しようとした際に、削除したノードをそのまま追加するとウィザードでエラーになって進めませんでした。手順が悪いのか、仕様なのかを知りたい意図です。（AOS 6.5）

Due to recurring discussions with customers, here again the question about the technical background. why can't I split Nutanix nodes in a cluster across 3 locations (these are less meters apart)? ESXi can do that, other virtualization solutions too (MS HV, PVE).I'm interested in a technical explanation, that it's not supported, I know, but why?In fact can we build stretched Clusters across Locations (No geolocations)? Thanks in advance  

Am trying to create dashboard portal for our Monitoring Video wall. One page showing what’s going on Nutanix without logging in to the Prism Central infrastructure dashboard. Just like VMware Aria Operation works.

有識者の皆様 Oplogに関しての質問です。OplogはWrite Bufferとしての役割と理解しております。しかしながら、All Flash（すべてのSSDが同サイズ、同耐久、同速度、同インターフェース）の場合、OplogにWriteをしたとしても、性能面・耐久面ではメリットがなく、直接Extent StoreにWriteした方が良いように思います。すべて同一のSSDで構成されるクラスタの場合、Oplogはどのような役割になりますか？もしくは、同一SSDのみのクラスタでOplogは意味がない、ということであればキャッシュSSDとキャパシティSSDの2層にした方が効率が良いでしょうか？

有識者の皆様 細かいことが気になってしまい、ご教示いただけると幸いです。AOSの重複排除はCache DeduplicationとCapacity Deduplicationの2つがある理解だったのですが、GUIの設定（Storage Container → Advanced Settings ）では、Capacity Deduplicationの項目しかなくなっています。（AOS6.10） 古いドキュメントなどを見るとCache Deduplicationの項目もあったようなのですが、Cache Deduplicationは機能として無くなったのでしょうか？

Hi All,Our nutanix 1175S-G9 is a 4-port 10G BaseT, initially connected to the  two portseth0, eth2,  later, I change  to eth0 and eth1, and then NCC check will show the message eth2 down. Is there any solution ?

I accidentally deleted a few good VMs while cleaning up after migration from VMware to Nutanix, couldn’t find a straightforward way to restore them from recycle Bin just Like on a normal Computer, So the easiest way to was to re-migrate the VMs needed.If only i could just go to cluster recycle bin and do the restoration would save a lot of time!!

What is the best way to rebuild a single node cluster to a 5 node cluster with all the VMs intact with minimal downtime?

I am trying to get the WInPE drivers so I can support our virtual device hosted on a Nutanix system.  However, every link directs me to the Nutanix support page where I have to activate my ID with a licence code or serial number.  I am the consumer of the system, I have none of these values, and my server team who might have these will not give me the codes.  What can I do to get the drivers I need so I can do my job and test our OSD processes with a Nutanix VM client?

Hi, Sorry if my english is poor, i’m trying to describe my problem as short as i can.Recently, we’ve bought new G9 NX appliance, and migrate all our production on it, that great.So now, we got 18 G5 NX node.I made 2 clusters of 9 nodes, no problems.My problems starts here :- With one of my collegues we want to try to create a bridge but without plug the ethThe test we want to do was successfull, and we were making somes XRay bench by the same time.-Finally we want to suppress this bridge and it’s now possible, i got a message were “Curie Scenario failed to revoke token.I’ve tried to follow KB7071 but nothing is solve.There is some jpg of my AOS & CVM I’ve even check if i can kill a queued or running task with ergon, but not finding it.Its impossible to put host in maintenance mode or doing a LCM by now.Please help me :)   

有識者の皆様、表題の件についてご教示お願いします。 AHV 6.7からオンデマンドのCross Cluster Live Migrationが可能になったと把握しております。以下のページで、Cross-Cluster Live Migration のライセンス要件を確認すると、NCI Starterにはチェックがついておりません。https://www.nutanix.com/products/cloud-platform/software-options AHV 6.7 以降の環境でOn-Demand CCLMを実行する場合は上位ライセンスが必要となりますか？それとも上記の記載は旧来のProtection Domainを利用したCCLMであり、AHV 6.7以降のOn-Demand CCLMはNCI Starterから利用可能でしょうか？
