5 Essential Tips for Maximizing Your Experience at Nutanix .NEXT for Bloggers
I will looking to migrate from VMware to AHV in the next few weeks. As I understand it, it is not possible to schedule the state of a VM say for Shutdown or Power On, as you can do in VMware. Is there a workaround and is this on the roadmap?
Apologies if I have posted in the wrong area but this seem Citrx related so here goes. I wil be switching from VMware to Nutanix AHV native hypervisor in the coming weeks. If anyone has already done this, can they advise on the steps they took to port over a version of Netscaler running on VMware (vSphere 5.5) to Acropolis Hypervisor on Nutanix? Not aware of any native tools that can handle that. The only other way would be to back off this config (never tried it) and upload onto a native vanilla install of the Netscaler based on KVM and uploading the config somehow. Any advice would be grateful.
We are moving away from VMware over to Acropolis and I was wondering what others have been using to backup their VMs under Acropolis, 3rd party wise? Under VMware, we had been using Veeam, but this is no longer a choice.Any comments/suggestions would be helpful.
I am currently running VMware but will be soon switching to AHV. Will be purchasing a APC UPS with parchute software. Does anyone know if this is compatible for AHV? Does anyone out there with a UPS running AHV care to comment how they are managing the graceful shutdown of their Nodes and VMs in the event of power loss?
Nutanix 5.11.2 Ultimate Licence VMware vSphere 5.5 According to the Nutanix Knowledge base Restore Snapshot (2 options) , I shoud get the option to overide the existing vm when recovering a VM via a Snapshot. However I only see the option to restore to a clone (see attached). Can anyone advise?
I have a large number of VMs created with the boot firmware set to EFI. As I understand it, AHV cannot convert "out of the box" The options I have been told include the following:- Use VMware Convertor to perform a virtual to virtual VM conversion to change the boot firmware back to BIOS Use an import tool to bring in the VMDK files over and run a CLI command to accept the UEFI setup Does this sound right? Is there an easier way? Can new VMs under AHV be created with UEFI ?
