Can a Nutanix Storage node contain more secondary VM copies than what would fit into the existing capacity on the cluster nodes disk? and if yes, how does one bring the storage node down for maintenance?
I’m standing-up a Nutanix File cluster and want to move an existing WIndows DFS Namespace to the cluster. The namespace needs to remain the same as it is used by web apps. I thought I could simply add the AFS cluster as a Namespace server, replicate the files, and then remove the old namespace servers. However, when I go to add the new namespace server, it wants a local folder location which isn’t available. I was sure I saw that Nutanix Files is compatible with Windows DFS but I don’t know what I’m missing. Suggestions?
We have 2 Nutanix clusters running with the ESXi Hypervisor. We’re using Metro availability to replicate datastores\containers between clusters. We’d like to replicate some of the VMs that reside in these Metro enabled containers over to a potential 3rd site. We were thinking to use Async replication for this.Is this possible and is it supported?I ask this because in the “Conditions For implementing Asynchronous Replication” guidelines there is a condition that states “Multiple protection domains cannot protect the same VM. Configure one protection domain to protect a VM”.
I received this answer a few days ago[Just plug your VM on a VLAN where there is a router connected to the internet. Then either use DHCP if there is some, or configure an IP address and set your router as gateway. That’s it.]but Is there anyone who can explain in more detail?I am currently configuring guestvm with windows10The network settings are like this The port of the node where the GUEST VM is installed is directly connected to the Internet-enabled LANOr should I change the settings inside Windows vm? It is composed of dhcp
Hi there,I need explaination about vCPU usage :My CPU Model is Intel(R) Xeon(R) Silver 4208 CPU @ 2.10GHz (8 core, 16 thread) I have two socket per host So 2 x 8 = 16 cores and 4200 Mhz (base freq) / 6400 Mhz (max turbo freq) So 32 vCPU (16 cores x 2 = 32 thread with Hyperthreading) A VM use 6 vCPU and 1 core Prism report for this VM, 97% of CPU usage97% of what ? Is that 6400 / 32 x 6 = 1200 Mhz ?? The half a physical CPU ?How that calculation is made ?Thanks,Jerome
HiI'm hoping someone has a similar setup. We have a 2 sites connected by fast links with one Nutanix cluster at each site (16 nodes in each cluster). We use Metro availability to replicate between sites. We have 1 stretched ESXi cluster hosting mainly Window servers.We have a number of VM guest failover SQL clusters (2 nodes in each cluster) which require shared storage and therefore require the use of Nutanix Volume groups. Each VM is connected to the volume group via ISCSI.We can't use Metro replication to replicate these VMS and their associated volume groups to the other site as you can't replicate volume groups with Metro availability - it's not supported.So, the only other option is to use Async replication. Here are my questions:In the manual the conditions for Async say "Do not have VMs with the same name on the primary and the secondary clusters. Otherwise, it may affect the recovery procedures"Q: If we failover the async protection domain containing the cluster node VM
I read the Supports and Insights page.“A distributed share or export is the repository for the personal files of a user, and a standard share is the repository shared by a group. A distributed share or export is distributed at the top-level directories while standard shares are on a single file server VM (FSVM).”Does that mean if I create a standard share called “Shared” for 100 users, all 100 users would be hitting a single FSVM for access?Why wouldn’t I want to create “Share” as distributed in order to spread the load?Our first Files setup has D$ as the only top level share as distributed. Other shares are below it and set as standard. Any issues with that? Not sure why we did this, or if we fully understood. At least the D$ with shares underneath mimic a Windows file server.
