Hello,i have some questions regarding “Switch stacking”1-) Is it possible to use " 2 stacked switches " as TOR with AHV? there will be a problem if we use this configuration?2-) The best practice is to use 2 Stacked switches or 2 individual switches?We plan to use Active-Backup configuration and conect SFP to Switch1 and the other SFP to Switch2I am not a network specialist so i am not sure if both switches are stacked, and we plug 1 SFP to SW1 and the other SFP to SW2, the active passive configuration will work

Hi, I am working on an integration between Nutanix and Citrix but stuck at the moment at this point: Where in the Citrix Cloud can I find these values?Kind regardsChristian

Hi all,I wanted to register Prism Central in my cluster. I need to set the inital password, that I am aware of.

Hi, I have one CVM out of space in /home, I have seen that I have the file localhost_access_host.txt with almost 20GB.Could I rotate or delete this file?In another CVM I don’t see this file.Regards,Antonio Maeso

If i want to cancel one exam which is scheduled, cancelling will give me Voucher back???

Hello,have you guys ever configure a 4 SFP + Nutanix cluster with AHV? i understand that the 4 SFP + will be configured as active-passive in a same bond... but only 1 SFP should be used. There is a better way to configure network on AHV to improve and use the other SFP+??? i mean, for example, separate the traffic between user VMs and CVM (storage traffic)

While learning AHV I’m a bit confused on a few things as it relates to vStores and Remote Sites. What is the purpose of a vStore and how do they differ from Containers? What are the implications of mapping a Site-A’s vStore (Container-A) to Site-B’s vStore (Container-B) that has running VMs in it? What are the implications of not including all VMs from within Site-A’s Container-A in a Protection Domain and failing-over said PD to Site-B?      - Will the unprotected VMs from Container-A continue to run in Site-A?      - What happens when I fail-back the PD to Site-A? Let’s say I’ve mapped Container-A (Site-A) to Container-B (Site-B). If I create a Protection Domain that contains VMs from Container-A2 (Site-A), how does this factor into my vStore mappings between sites? Thanks for the assist!

Looking for advise, Trying to add a Hyper-V host to Move 3.5.0, but just getting the following error and nothing else, Hyper-V operation [Get Process Info] failed. Getting no other alerts/Errors.

Hello all,I’ve just finished the basic installation of a new 3 nodes Nutanix Cluster (NX-1065-G7 node). When i try to enter the IPMI password nothing happens. It seems the password is wrong. I have tried the default ADMIN/ADMIN password but it doesn’t worked (also admin/admin).Did the default password change with the release 5.15.x of AOS ?For information, the cluster has been created with the following parameters : AOS 5.15.2 Foundation VM 4.5.4.1 ESXi 6.7U3The “ipmitool user list” show me an “ADMIN” user with ID 2, so i think the account is correctly created. I ve tried on each of the 3 nodes and it’s still the same. So if the password set is ADMIN by default and is not working, can i safely change it with the ipmitool command ? Thx for your answers :)

Hello guys, Is it possible to add Dell PowerEdge R640 or R730 hardware to a cluster with NX hardware?

Hi folks,Sorry if it sounds like a dumb. I am a novice with NTNX technology.I am ready to take NCSE L1 exam but it will be retired on September 9, 2020.Its direct replacement is (NCSE-Core) Beta which is still Beta.Please, when NCSE-Core will get GA´ed?

Hi all We recently converted one of our environments to AHV/Acropolis from ESX/VCenter. All is well and runs just fine. One of the caveats is, we have a tertiary machine we use in “disaster” type scenarios and with this machine we would use our backup solution to “backup” a VM to and run with VMWare Workstation. As I understand it, Nutanix does not offer a “Workstation” type solution, so I am reaching out to hopefully receive some feedback on what a “new” solution would entail. Could I build a small PC and run Community edition on it? Can communtiy edition run on say an i9/32gb RAM/1TB ssd or does it need N+1 to function? This way I could point my backup solution to the new cluster or have my cluster be aware of a NAS solution and ingest the AHV VM as needed in these type scenarios. Any feedback will help me in the endeavor!

Does anyone have issues when trying to install NGT on a system that previously had it installed? I have tried to uninstall and reinstall to no avail. And trying to install/Upgrade via prism fails.  

Hi,I'm looking up for a consolidated monitoring sheet if any available on Nutanix AOS and ESXI hyper-v integrated with some threshold applicable and severity will be really helpful. If someone has please share it.

Getting this error when I try to use putty/plink for any ACLI-related command:bash: ACLI: command not foundDoesn't seem to matter what acli “command” i run, even just running “acli” by its self gives the same error. I am able to run commands like “hostname” etc using plink/putty on the CVM. Feel like im missing something very simple here.Example command:putty $cvmIP -l $username -pw $password “acli vm.disk_get $vmname disk_addr=scsi.0”

We are transferring vdisks from one Nutanix environment to another.  We are going from Euphrates 5.5.8 to Euphrates  5.9. The copy seems to work but then after a while (maybe 15 minutes) the files in the new environment disappear. We’ve tried this several times with the same results. One vDisk is around 26 GB and the other is 2 TB. Has anyone seen this and what is the problem and the solution?

I have a lot of virtual machines running with latest Debian 10 distribution (version 10.2 and next 10.5).When will be available Nutanix Guest Tools for this distribution? It’s a mess to receive warnings everyday with the message of NGT not installed in these machines.

Anyone prepared and cleared the NCM-MCI exam and can share their experience on how to best prepare for it?

Question: Does nutanix use Self Signed Cert or CA-cert by default?  

Can anyone let me know the release date of the LCM Framework  version 2.3.3 ?

We have to do a deployment of 5 HPE DX nodes with AHV as hypervisor. Is it mandatory to have the iLO ip address in the same subnet as CVM & Host ? If not then do we have to give 2 IP addresses to foundation VM ? Let me know if anything else is needed.

I'm looking for some advice.My company recently purchased a used 3460-G4. We're a professional services firm and we want to have it for our lab so we can stand up stuff like ERA, CALM, etc. and bang around on it. You know, lab stuff!We have been trying to Foundation (4.5.4.1 & 4.5.3.1) the block but I am running into a problem with Foundation failing when trying to mount the Phoenix image on the nodes. Here's how things currently stand:BIOS has been upgraded to latest recommended version on Nutanix Support site. (G4G5T6.0)BMC firmware has been upgraded to latest recommended version on Nutanix Support site. (3.64)Each node has x2 SSDs, which this system appears to recognize (I ran an ESXi installer on one of the nodes to test. The installers saw the drives)Each node has 64GB of RAM. The RAM is confirmed to be compatible according to SuperMicro's site.The Motherboard is the X10DRT-P from SuperMicro.IPMI has been set on each node and I can log into the IPMI mgmt page.At first I was wo
