Hi frnds,  Facing attached error while launching Emulator on VM. Please guide if anyone has installed and launched emulator.  

はじめまして。まだまだ勉強中のため、的外れな質問をしてしまうこともあるかと存じますが、どうぞよろしくお願いいたします。早速ですが、以下質問となります。①シングルノードクラスタ環境において、CVM（Prism Element）にブラウザよりログインすることで管理を行うかと思います。この環境において、何らかの理由でCVMがダウンした際はどのように復旧することになるのでしょうか？②マルチノードクラスタ環境において、NutanixではHA機能がデフォルトで有効になっているかと思います。この環境においては、ノード障害時に自動的にHAが働きますが、障害発生したノード上のCVMも対象となるのでしょうか？アフィニティルールで縛っておく必要があるのでしょうか？

Hi All, Refer Degraded Node Detection should be enable. But it could allow disable in Prism. May we know when or why should disable Degraded Node Detection? Best regards

My organization is going to be embarking on an NDB implementation this year and due to our existing clustering technology, our SQL Server infrastructure relies heavily on non-default instance names for our machines (i.e.  hostname\instancename).  If we’re able to preserve this on databases that bring across to NDB, it will save us a great deal of time/effort in reconfiguring existing applications.  Is this something that we’re likely to be able to achieve in NDB?  Put differently, I’m hoping that we’ll be able to preserve existing host and instance names.  

When setting up my blueprints, i want to lock down most of the configuration to prevent user error. I basically only want a user to be able to adjust the cores, RAM, and size of the data disk. So, i’m clicking the running-person icons to set them to black, meaning not-user-changeable. However, when i Save the change, it goes back to blue. I can’t get the user modifiable/not-modifiable config to stick. Am i missing something here? Thanks!

How can I get Nutanix Move? When I go to https://portal.nutanix.com/ I get this. I’m running CE edition, and would like to test out moving from test ESXi to my CE edition. 

I would like to create variables that are reusable in blueprints - things like package store URI, proxy URL, etc. I don’t think it makes sense to define these in every blueprint, as they’re identical; we want to keep that kind of thing DRY.The docs state that Variable Types defined in the Library are reusable across blueprints. But if I define MY_VAR as a new Variable Type with a value, it has no value when expanded in a blueprint script as @@{MY_VAR}@@. What is the trick to defining these vars at the Library level and using them in Blueprints? Thanks!

I am working on converting my scripts to Powershell 7.x. I tried to use the Nutanix cmdlets 2.0.1 provided for Prism Central. Attempting to connect to Prism Central is failing.

Is there a feature within the Nutanix Sizer that allows for manual adjustment of the vCPU to pCPU ratio? If so, could someone guide me through the process or point me to the relevant documentation or resources?

Hi team:We are doing POC for Nutanix Objects. So far function testing has no problems, but we have a question about backup: How to backup objects which is located Nutanix Objects?
