Hello everyone,I would like to know if Nutanix NCM Self-Service supports a feature that allows setting a VM expiration option during the VM or blueprint creation request, enabling the VM to expire after a specified time interval automatically. Or if it does not support, can we schedule it on Day-2 Operation features? Thank you!

Hello.I have a question.Resource Requirements Supporting Snapshot Frequency (Asynchronous, NearSync, and Metro) I'm inquiring because I don't understand well even if I look at the link above.Three G9 nodesI'm thinking of making three G7 nodes into one cluster.The G9 node already has a cluster configured and will expand the G7 node.The G9 node is two SSDs and four HDD hybrid HCI.G7 nodes are also six SSD All Flash nodes.G9 Node Disk CapacitySSD = 3.06TibHDD = 6.9qTibG7 Node Disk CapacitySSD = 1.92TibDR is configured in the G9 cluster that is already configured, and snapshots are being taken every two hours and sent to DR. The number of snapshots stored is two.When configuring these services, how much CVM memory should be allocated?The reason for putting the inquiry is that I set the CVM memory to 32GB with G9 initial configuration. It's been about 3 months since the configuration. CVM memory usage is over 90%.We would like to ask for your opinion as the usage increases until a memory us

Hi Everyone,I had taken exam (NCS-Core 6.8) and i don’t PASS using a Voutcher from Nutanix University, So i’m asking how i retake this exam again using Voutcher?  I tried to apply the same voutcher but it is not working. 

Je sollicite votre aide concernant un problème sur mon cluster Nutanix de 7 nœuds. Une des CVM a crashé et malgré plusieurs tentatives de récupération, je n’ai pas pu la restaurer. Est-il possible de réinstaller une nouvelle CVM sur ce nœud sans impacter le fonctionnement du cluster?

I noticed that Nutanix REST API v3 offer ability to interact with Nutanix Projects. The same features seem not to be available using the new API v4 so far. Will this come in the future? Is there a roadmap with all the features that will be coming in API v4?

We have a 6-node Nutanix cluster on VMware ESXi spread across two racks. Each rack has a ToR switch, and both ToRs are in an IRF stack. All nodes are dual-uplinked (one NIC to each ToR).Core switch handles L3 routing, and VLANs are trunked to the IRF stack.We're planning to replace both ToR switches with new IRF switches — without downtime.Can the community please guide on: Best practices for live switch replacement How to ensure CVM and ESXi connectivity during the change Key health checks from Prism Any Nutanix KB or doc on this

We just got our first 3 node Nutanix cluster (using AHV)  a couple months ago so we’re very new. I have been unable to use the Nutanix Portal setting within LCM to perform updates so I used the Dark Site option. Plus I have warnings about LDAPS but I am unable to use that setting. Both issue I think are cert related. I replaced the self signed certs in Prism Element & Prism Central following a couple Nutanix KB’s.Do I also need to replace certs on the individual CVM’s? The Nutanix documents & KB’s don’t explicitly mention anything about certs on the CVM’s but at the same time there have been a couple documents that say not to put certs on the CVM’s because future updates could remove them. 

HI Team, Recently I have installed Nutanix CE on Dell Power Edge R430. I am facing issue while trying to create network configs for creation of VMs. My lab network is shown below,I have interfaces from eth0 - eth7. eth4 is connected to Network 10.146.20.0/24, I would like to configure the same in Nutanix, so that the VMs that I create fall under the same subnet. I tried creating subnet and booted an Linux instance to check the reachability. I am unable to reach GW from that linux.  I reached out to my lab team, and they suggested to have eth4 alone in a bond. To do that, I tried to assign eth4 to vs0 alone but unable to do it. Could you please let me know what are the series of steps that need to be followed so that I could successfully create VMs.  Thanks,

Hello,What is the best practice to migrate a VM with 60 TB using RDM from esxi to AHV? Is it possible to map the RDM to Nutanix Cluster or to convert the RDM?

I want to reserver as mentioned below for a Linux VM running on AHV 10 and AOS 7.3. CPU: 4 vCPUs with a 10,000 MHz reservation Memory: 10 GB with a 10 GB reservation Disk: 1 x 110 GB with thick provisioning If these reservations exist, how can they be configured? I couldn’t find any information in PE/PC. It also seems that this feature was available up to AOS 6.8 but not in AOS 7.x versions.Let me know if there are any workarounds as well.

I am about to take the NCP-MCI-6.10  exam and i need practice test to prepare for my exam. Does anyone want to suggest?

Hello, I’m new to Nutanix and setting up DR for VMs on vSphere ESXi.While failover from primary to DR site is straight-forward, I was wondering on the amount of time for failback. Normally, when failback is initiated, it will replicate changed blocks from DR site to primary site.And this may take a while depending on the changes occurred while at DR. Is it possible to do reverse replication while still at DR? This way, when failback is initiated, only the few remaining changed blocks need to be replicated - shortening the failback time.Thanks for your comments

HeyI have a 4 node lab with some version. I want to upgrade to the latest version (7.3 right now). my hardware support it. But, instead upgrading, I want clean install (for my reasons).When I using foundation, it won’t discovering my nodes (since they are used).What should I do to make them to be discovered? Thanks.

I have to replace a 3 nodes G5 Nutanix cluster running with vSphere 7 Essentials Plus Edition (limited by design at 3 nodes only) by 3 new nodes.My first idea was to expand existing cluster with new nodes then removed old nodes one by one.But like the vSphere Essential Plus edition is limited to 3 ESXi hosts only i can not add prepared new nodes to my vCenter.🙄 What is the best method in my case to migrate to the new 3 nodes ? Thanks for your advises.Nicolas

HeyIn Calm (Script that I have in old lab, AOS v6.5) My script (part in blueprint) use REST API and ip is used as localhost: Now, In self-Service not accepted localhost (security reasoning).In Self-Service Administration and Operations Guide I see some script that use @@{pc_ip}@@ but this is not real variable.Is there any alternative to get the Prism Central IP and use it in my script? since I use the same script in many PC, It not good practice to hard coded the IP..alternatively: is there a way to get the cluster list (instead use API)? Thanks

We are new to Nutanix coming over from vSphere and are experiencing the same issues that is discussed but not resolved on this thread:https://next.nutanix.com/ahv-virtualization-27/packer-press-any-key-to-boot-from-cd-dvd-issue-43213We are using Packer to build a Window 2022 image.  We have customised the ISO to remove the "Press any key to boot..." prompt.  However, we are now in a situation where Packer/AHV doesn't allow us to specify a boot order so the CD is constantly booting, installing and rebooting.We can continue the Packer build if we manually dismount the CD, however, we want to be in a position where this is a hands off build and orchestrated by a pipeline like our vSphere builds are.Has anyone managed to get around this?  

I have several asynchronous protection policies configured between two Nutanix clusters each with their respective Prism Central, one primary and one DR. I am going to perform the upgrade of the clusters sequentially on different days and I don't see any reference in the documentation as to whether it is necessary for replication during the upgrade due to version difference or possible outages. I understand that it is not necessary, but I would like to know if there is any good practice as I don't see anything in the documentation. Thanks

We recently acquired four new Lenovo HX630 V3 CN servers to deploy the latest Nutanix AHV and AOS. Our plan is to set these up on four AHVs and the latest Prism Central. According to the compatibility matrix, this configuration should be supported.I downloaded the latest AHV (AHV-DVD-x86_64-10.0.1-219) from the Nutanix portal and created a bootable USB. However, I encountered an error when attempting to boot into the Nutanix installation process.I understand that I need to use Foundation, but my servers are new and don’t have DiscoveryOS or something similar that would allow me to discover them with Foundation tools. Could you please advise on how to resolve this issue?

Currently I building the following versions: AHV ver,10.0.1  AOS ver,7.0.1DNS is configured on the CVM but it seems that the DNS settings are not synced on the AHV.I confirmed that the DNS settings were entered from Prism Element as well.Re-entering the DNS values ​​did not fix the issue.If anyone knows the solution, please tell me

We have a two node cluster running hyper-V and hardware has come to EOL.We need to replace the nodes with new supported hardware and I cannot find any documentation for this, specially for a two nodes cluster. Is there any documentation available or can anyone provide the procedure? I know hardware replacement is supported for two nodes clusters, I just cannot find instructions for it. Thanks in advance

Hi,“Disable proxy ARP within the Nutanix VLAN before configuring network segmentation” is mentioned in two documents.Security GuidePhysical Networking Best PracticesCould someone clarify what this means exactly?What is “the Nutanix VLAN”? Is it the “CVM/HOST management VLAN or all VLANs? What is the command to disable proxy ARP? Should this be done at the Nutanix level or the physical switch level?I couldn't find answers in the documentation. Any help would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance!

Hey all,  I am trying to do a Hypervisor Cluster comparison between AHV and ESXi.  To kick this off, does AHV have a way to load balance the VM’s and move the load to other hosts / nodes with less usage as DRS does for ESXi?  Thanks
