There could be scenarios where LCM (Life Cycle Management) update operation was initiated, and then we need to cancel it in between due to any of the following reasons: 1) LCM operation takes more time than the scheduled maintenance window2) LCM operation was initiated by mistake, and so we want to cancel it soon Starting LCM 2.4.0.3 and later versions, we can now cancel or abort an ongoing LCM update operation using the "Stop Update" feature available on the LCM page via Prism. Whenever this feature is used in LCM, it sets a cancel intent in the Nutanix cluster, which tells LCM to stop the update at the next safe point. The important point is that the update may not be canceled immediately after the cancel intent is invoked since LCM stops it at the next safe point. Hence, we will have to wait until the update reaches the next safe point. This safe point is determined by the LCM framework, which depends on the phase at which the cancel intent was set. Kindly refer to KB-4872 to know m
In Nutanix cluster, Life Cycle Manager (LCM) is used to track current software and firmware versions of all entities in a Nutanix cluster and is also used to perform certain software and firmware updates on this cluster. It consists of a framework and a set of modules for inventory and update. In order to fetch these modules, LCM connects to Nutanix Portal (download.nutanix.com) URL by default. However, in scenarios where the Prism Element (PE) cluster has no direct access to the internet, default Nutanix Portal URL option cannot be used for LCM since it depends on internet connectivity. In this case, prior to LCM 2.4.1.1 version, the only available option was to set up a local dark-site web server so that LCM can pull software/firmware bundles from this dark-site web server. However starting with LCM 2.4.1.1 version & above, LCM allows direct ingestion of certain software/firmware bundles using the 'Direct Upload' option in LCM. So, if you are at a dark site where the cluster does
Did you know that Nutanix now has a Smart Support diagnostics collection feature available in Nutanix Support Portal which can directly initiate log collection on Nutanix clusters thereby avoiding the need to manually collect and upload logs to the case?Customers can create a diagnostics collection for any of their clusters on demand. A diagnostics collection is a set of logs and health checks collected in a cluster for a specified interval. They are resources used to monitor the health of the clusters and analyze issues when problems occur. For details on how to create a new diagnostics collection via Nutanix Support Portal, see Creating a Collection section in Nutanix Support Portal.
