Hi,We have PRISM Central Pro license and I’d like a report or Analysis view on which virtual machines are consuming the most memory. The Cluster in question is VMware 6.7. Is this possible and what is the best way to go about it?

I’d like to rename the host name on a single-node cluster - assuming that I update the name in the /etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/hostname files, I guess I would also need to stop/start the acropolis service. I know this is safe to do on a 3-node cluster but is there are risk/impact with a 1-node cluster?

Hello,I was hoping to get some clarification as to what features are included in AOS Starter.  I usually use the following link as a guide:Nutanix Software Editions & Licensing: Solutions to Run on Our AppliancesThe above link states that “Basic Compression (LZ4) - Inline and post process” are included starter.  However as soon as I enable post compression I get a license violation notice.  In prism element it also shows the available features for starter and post compressions shows as yes:Is post compression available in Starter? Also the link states that lz4hc compression is not available for Starter but running the following command on a starter clusters show it is available and compressing data:curator_cli display_data_reduction_report Has something changed to make lz4hc available to starter? Is there another document or link with a comprehensive list of features available for each edition? Thanks,--Zip

As i know that if drive failure, Nutanix will rebuilt the data immediately. May i know if node failure, how long does the Nutanix will trigger to rebuilt if have sufficient node and capacity in existing cluster? Thanks

Added 9 nodes(AHV) to existing cluster successfully and when i try to verifyLACP status with command (hostssh "ovs-appctl bond/show br0-up" | egrep "===|lacp_status") it is showing LACP status off.Steps i performed before adding the nodes to existing cluster1.Configured network on all 9 nodes2.Configured LACP on all 9 nodes Please advice.  

How many nodes we can deploy at the same time in nutanix ? Is there any limit or shall we just go ahead and deploy all the nodes at the same time ?Same query is related to cluster expansion, can we add multiple nodes at the same time in existing cluster ?Thanks

I’m new to Nutanix so bear with me if this has been asked. Is it possible to simulate a x-over cable between two VM’s? basically I want any traffic leaving a load balancer to be passed via layer 1-2 to a WAF appliance so it can be inspected. The WAF is in transparent mode and won’t have an IP Address. In the past with physical machines i would just cable them inline. 

Dear All,May I have a question about the below situation?RF=23 node cluster2 x disks failure in same nodeMay i know whether the cluster will be corrupted or not? From my understanding, it should not be corrupted as 2 x disks failure in same node (NOT different node).

The REST API for creating vm clone is working fine but after vm cloned. It was in powered off state.Is there any way to set power on state via API 3 (in API 2 it was there, but its old and deprecated not work)ORAny other way to create VM or clone so that it will be in power on state after vm creation.

Hi All,Current environment (~40 sites & HO) do not have any 10GbE switches and we are planning 2-node clusters per site. If using 2 x 1GbE Nic for the management like a witness communication, can we connect ESXi nodes using  10gbit ‘direct cable’ to support the workload for all VM traffic, vMotion, vmKernel, and Nutanix and most important, two node disks datastore? It should be not any issue for the Nutanix/VMware level, Switch is on L2.

Can I change IP or VLAN in IPMI after Foundation that will be concern or affect to AHV environment?

Good afternoon, all!I’m setting up a new PKI infrastructure in a Nutanix cluster and I want to shut down the root CA for safekeeping. Is there a way to add some safeguards so that the VM can’t be started inadvertently?

HiI’m using Nutanix Prism Central v3 API and I want to run the API call referenced here:https://www.nutanix.dev/reference/prism_central/v3/api/categories/postcategoryquery/to get the category information.I’m calling this API: https://<prism_ip>:9440/api/nutanix/v3/category/query, using Postman. My problem is filling the request body. The example at the bottom of the page shows this request body:{  "api_version": "3.1.0",  "group_member_count": 123,  "group_member_offset": 123,  "usage_type": "string",  "category_filter": {    "type": "CATEGORIES_MATCH_ANY",    "kind_list": [      "string"    ],    "params": {}  }} But the params property is empty and I can’t figure out how to fill it properly.It says in the description that it’s supposed to have “a list of category key and list of values”, but no matter what I try I either get an error regarding the json structure or this error: For a search specify the correct usage type. Can someone please provide an example of how to use this

HiIs there a way to check the versions of all Nutanix components in one view? “ncli cluster info” displays the AOS and NCC versions, but not those of AHV and PC. The AHV and PC versions may be obtained from the PC UI (in different places though). Further, the Nutanix release timeline shows AOS 5.18 as the latest, but the documentation has tags for 5.19?

Hello, I created a custom role in PC to allow users to manage and create VMs. However, I am unable to add users into the custom role and it seems that it cannot even find the user that I created when I’m at the new user section. I’ve seen in some video tutorials that it will suggest a user once you start typing in the name but in my case it kept saying No results.Just for added info, I am able to login to the new user that I created.

Hi,Is there any ETA for Nutanix Guest Tools for Debian 10? Debian 11 is probably going to be released this summer, so it would be quite nice if NGT supported Debian 10. Or is there a way to “forcefully” install Nutanix Guest Tool on newer systems? Is it possible to build it ourselves to we can distribute it on our thousands of VM’s that is running?

Hello,I am trying to read Nutanix OOB device information into ServiceNow. Is there an API that I could use to retrieve the OOB (IPMI) information from the host machine? Or Would executing SNMP commands on the IPMI help with my ask?
