Collector 3.5.1, Windows version. The customer has collected the data from a 2-node Hyper-V cluster and I can open the excel and browse through it - it looks right to me, I see all the VMs etc. When I try and import into sizer, I get “Some unknown error occurred”.  Any ideas?  There’s nothing particularly strange or unusual in the data that I can think of.  In the meantime I will probably try and manually add the equivalent workload. Thanks, Allan.

Hi,I followed this guide:Installing Nutanix Community Edition (CE) on vSphere 7 - Derek Seaman's IT BlogTo test a install of AHV/Prism CE and the AHV host installs fine but the CVM can not get to the outside world or ping ip’s.I can ssh to the CVM from the host on the correct IP and do the one_node_cluster create command but it just fails with `Failed to reach a node where Genesis is up` if I do `genesis start` it gets past that but just hangs after it starts up some services during the create.I tried not checking the one_node_cluster option in the install and doing it manually afterwards, but I get the same results.Happy to provide any info. The gateway etc look fine in the `/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0` file

Hello, I have two questions regarding snapshot on nutanix.If I restore VM / storage using nutanix snapshot, the VM / storage still pointing the VM / storage on protection domain or not ?  What happen if the VM / storage I create earlier using nutanix snapshot when the protection domain and VM / storage removed or accidentally delete ?  Thanks,Tirtayudha

We are running an image from HPE Aruba for a Mobility Master that crashes daily. The error is an IRQ interrupt:User: [14730.377720] irq 27: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option) [14730.378230] handlers: [14730.378461] [<ffffffff813be5d0>] vring_interrupt [14730.378717] Disbling IRQ #27I’ve been directed by the community that there is a KVM fix for this by changing the machine type to Q35. I can see in the acli documentation there are settings for machine type but I can’t seem to find a list of acceptable settings that I could use there. I was hoping to perhaps create a VM through the acli with this already set or perhaps update a VM (is this bad?)Perhaps it would look something like this:acli vm.update machine_type="pc-q35"

I’m getting the following error on a 3 node clean install and I’m able to ping all 3 IPMI’s.Please advise. 

Nutanix CEで3ノードクラスタを構成しているのですが、1台のホストのブートデバイスが故障したらしく、復旧方法をご教示いただけないでしょうか？ バージョンは2020.09.16を使用しております。以前2019.11.22の際は、新しいブートデバイスを接続し、インストールオプションで【Repair CVM(Existing data preserved)】を選択すればブートデバイスを復旧できたと思うのですが、2020.09.16も同様の手順でデータ(仮想マシン)は削除されずブートデバイスを復旧可能でしょうか？ お手数をおかけいたしますがご教示いただけますと幸いです。

Hey all, I´m looking for a way to filter out all VMs that need an guest tools upgrade in PC.I tried:VMs "VM Type"="User VM" "Installed Version"="Upgrade available" ListorVMs "VM Type"="User VM" "NGT Status"="Upgrade available" List as a filter but that´s not working. I was able the list all VMs with tools installed with this filter:VMs "Nutanix Guest Tools"=Installed "VM Type"="User VM" List PC Version: pc.2021.7PE Version: 5.20.1.1 LTS Thanks in advanceErik

Hi All,  Just wondering is there anyway to find the uptime of a virtual machine running on AHV?

HiI would like to know which is the minimun VM witness that I need for an specific scenario with several sites and 2-node cluster on each site. At the following article I see this:You can register multiple (different) Metro cluster pairs to a single Witness VM. One Witness VM can support up to 100 instances, that is the combined total number of protection domains in the registered Metro cluster pairs and the number of registered two-node clusters. (A single Witness VM can support both metro availability and two-node clusters.)https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Prism-Element-Data-Protection-Guide-v5_18:sto-metro-availability-witness-c.html However at the following post I see this: You can register multiple (different) Metro cluster pairs to a single Witness VM. One Witness VM can support up to 50 Witnessed Metro protection domains distributed among its registered Metro cluster pairs.https://next.nutanix.com/installation-configuration-23/metro-availability-witness

I have a problem with a CVM that won’t boot. This is on a semi-retired production cluster (not CE) that has no workloads running on it.I found the console output in /tmp/NTNX.serial.out.0 and I can see it trying to enable RAID devices, scan for a uuid marker and find 2 of them, then abort and unload the mpt3sas kernel module before trying again in 5 seconds. This repeats a few times before the hypervisor resets it and it starts booting again.The most relevant sections of the log (copious kernel taint messages removed) are [ 9.543553] sd 2:0:3:0: [sdd] Attached SCSI disksvmboot: === SVMBOOTmdadm main: failed to get exclusive lock on mapfile[ 9.790075] md: md127 stopped.mdadm: ignoring /dev/sdb3 as it reports /dev/sda3 as failed[ 9.794087] md/raid1:md127: active with 1 out of 2 mirrors[ 9.796034] md127: detected capacity change from 0 to 42915069952mdadm: /dev/md/phoenix:2 has been started with 1 drive (out of 2).[ 9.808602] md: md126 stopped.[ 9.813330] md/raid1:md126:

Currently running PrismCentral pc.2021.3.0.2After upgrading to this version, the /home partition is supposed to expand to 50gb from 40gb.  This unfortunately did not happen.I found KB9525, and tried to run this command to manually expand the partition:sudo python /usr/local/nutanix/bootstrap/bin/pc_config_home_partition.py --skip_end_sector_validationThat didn’t succeed in expanding the /home partition (which was sitting at 91% utilisation)In the pc_config_home_partition.log file, I found this error::178 BLKRRPART: Device or resource busysfdisk: The command to re-read the partition table failed.Run partprobe(8), kpartx(8) or reboot your system now, before using mkfsI ran partprobe, didn’t helpkpartx requires parameters, and I wasnt sure what inputs to provide, so I didn’t run thatI did reboot Prism Central, but that didn’t help either, except it did somehow reduce disk utilisation of /home to 76% from 91%.  Still couldn’t expand the disk thoughAnyone faced a similar situation, or have

Hi,Has anyone recently integrated Nutanix Platform and Service Now, can someone give us some input. RegardsRavi

Hi Folks,I have some SQL servers running on Nutanix without using ‘Flash’ mode for those. I am facing disk latency alerts for vmdisks on those SQL server VMs. Is there any way to identify if the VM disks are on HDD or SSD?

I have an end-of-life device and the support portal is out of service. How can I access the files I need to download?

Can anyone tell me about the nutanix license If pro license expired. Will there be assistance when opening the ticket?And the license status is pro or starter?Thanks

The instructions for shutting down a cluster are to use “sudo shutdown -P now” on the CVM’s in the cluster to shut each one down, but the command only works on the first CVM.   The command errors out the rest of the CVMs because they can’t reach the first CVM that was shut down.   Am I missing something?

Hello all, I have an upcoming NCP-MCI exam November. Can I reschedule it for sometime next year?

Hi Everyone, My Nutanix cluster had 4 node running AHV version Nutanix 20170830.337 and AOS version 5.10.9.1 LTS.Suddenly, one of the node had CVM unreachable issue.
