5 Essential Tips for Maximizing Your Experience at Nutanix .NEXT for Bloggers
We have numerous clusters and each have their own hardware platform (and in a couple of cases, we’ve even mixed hardware models within the same cluster). Our current Nutanix footprint;VENDOR MODELS NODE COUNTSuper Micro NX-8155-G7 12Super Micro NX-1175S-G6 7Super Micro NX-3060-G7 6Dell XC630-10 14Super Micro NX-8035-G7 12Super Micro NX-8035-G6 36Is there a preferred or recommended solution for hardware monitoring and alerting? For instance; Dell OpenManage (DOM) or Supermicro Server Manager (SSM). I don’t readily know if either would support the others solution (like DOM supporting IPMIs or SSM supporting iDracs) Or, would Prism Central (and Prism Element) be sufficient for hardware monitoring and alerting?We currently have and are using DOM but not for the SuperMicro hardware so I’m wondering if I’m potentially missing out on a better solution or not.
Prism Central pc.2021.5 added the ‘Resiliency Status’ to the Storage widget which is a cool idea. However all of my PE clusters in this widget show as Unknown with a callout that reads “Details are unavailable in Clusters < 6.0”.Looking at the latest downloads available online I do see a version 6.0 of AOS for the STS release path so I assume that we’ll have a wait a little while longer for us LTS customers.
I’ve been trying to download the latest version of Prism Central through Prism and consistently fails. I then downloaded the binary and metadata file but they also continue to fail to upload through Prism after various progress. I checked that there’s at least 10GB of free space in the /home directory - are there any logs that I can look at to troubleshoot further?
I have 20 clusters under management of our Prism Central and would like to know the versions of NCC installed in each. Is there a way to singularly collect this info across all PE clusters? Perhaps in nCLI even?
I wanted to better understand syslog events for a given AOS cluster. It appears that a single node is designated as the ‘syslog leader’ and forwards all events to the destination collector. Thus, the remaining nodes send little to no events to the collector. Is this correct?My clusters run AOS version 5.15.4 LTS for what it’s worth.
My Prism Central cluster (PC Scaleout) running version pc.2022.6.0.1 has ben generating Tasks related to Reports every few seconds - see screenshot below. This has been occurring for several days now and I don’t know if it’s normal or not - does anyone else experience this?
I’m looking for a way to a report on all of our file shares in Nutanix Files that shows spaced used.Similarly, it would be nice to see a report on users home drives (one level below the file share directory) based on space consumed.
Is there a way to generate a report in File Analytics v3.2.0 based on a specific file name - for example ‘java.exe’?I’m only seeing the option to filter on ‘file extension’ and that would obviously generate more than I want.
