5 Essential Tips for Maximizing Your Experience at Nutanix .NEXT for Bloggers
Hello everyone,I started a new project in which we need to be prepared for a Disaster Recovery between 2 Nutanix clusters in different regions. I did the Data Protection from Prism Central just fine in the beginning, already have 8 VM with NearSync enabled with RPO of 15min. However, this new VM has been giving me trouble lately, giving me a RPO up to 3 hours because of the following issues: Warning : Snapshot Replication to Remote Site is Lagging.Warning : Snapshot queued for replications to remote siteWarning : Entity is being transitioned to a lower frequency snapshot schedule. To be fair this new VM is kinda big, with 10 cores, 50GB RAM, and 1.22 TB storage used. It’s for a high transactional MSSQL Server database.I am basically stuck deciding if this is a networking problem, or a workload capacity from Nutanix problem.We are supposedly using 200MBps LAN-to-LAN networking, with a 20ms latency. Should this be enough?On the other hand, I am looking in Nutanix’s Analysis section that
Hello everyone,I currently have several old VMs that have been turned off for more than 2 years. No one in my workplace can tell me or remember what are they for. I am considering deleting them (to release storage), but before doing that is there something I should check before? Could those VMs be connected with online VMs in anyway for production?Could I take a useful snapshot, even though I will delete the VM afterwards?
Hello everyone,Someone before me in my current job created a couple of VMs in AHV with IDE bus type for their disks instead of SCSI. Just a quick glance of the documentation I found this:AHV does not leverage a traditional storage stack like ESXi or Hyper-V. All disk(s) are passed to the VM(s) as raw SCSI block devices. So my question is, why would someone decide to create IDE disks? Am I missing something? I know it’s common practice for CD-ROM drives, but not storage disks. No wonder I noticed a really bad performance on those servers recently.
I am aware that in snapshot entity details there is a column that tells you if the recovery status is “Recoverable”, but is this enough to be sure it will work if we use it? Also, what exactly happens if App Consistency is set as False?About recovery time, is it the same for every VM no matter the size of it? Or does it actually depend of how big/small the VM is? If the latter, is it possible to have an estimate recovery time?
