5 Essential Tips for Maximizing Your Experience at Nutanix .NEXT for Bloggers
Hi,We’ll be shortly moving to Horizon Instant Clones running on our ESXi v7 U3c Nutanix cluster. I’ve been reading about the Parent VMs which Instant Clones put on each host and I’m a little concerned about how LCM will work in the future for performing tasks where it takes hosts in and out of maintenance mode in turn.There’s an old thread here that suggests doing only one host at a time and manually getting it to remove the parent VMs but I was wondering if that was still necessary.I did ask Support and they said “I have reviewed some information and as far I understand this shouldn’t be an issue on newer Horizon releases” but they sounded not entirely certain and gave a caveat about whatever VMware might say...VMware documentation refers to newer Horizon versions being generally OK but that host updating via VUM is an issue and even suggests disabling Parent VMs entirely if that is used. Is LCM similarly affected? What are other Instant Clone Nutanix admins doing nowadays?Thanks fo
Hi!We have two Nutanix clusters running ESXi v6.7.0 with a Horizon 7 VDI environment on each. We needed to be able to sync Horizon AppVolumes between the clusters via some common storage.The solution we were set up with was a FreeNAS VM on one cluster publishing an NFS share which was then attached to the hosts in both clusters. We weren’t bothered about high availability as it’s not an issue if the replication of the appvolumes goes down sometimes as it’s only needed if appvolumes are being changed or their assignments to users is changing.After an NCC upgrade, Prism Element now flags up this external datastore as unsupported. I’m struggling to find out from Support what the actual magnitude of risk is here to the stability of the clusters (especially when it comes to upgrading firmwares, AOS etc).Does anyone here have any thoughts on this situation please?Thanks for reading!
