Connecting Cloud Innovators: Building Community at .NEXT 2024
I’m standing-up a Nutanix File cluster and want to move an existing WIndows DFS Namespace to the cluster. The namespace needs to remain the same as it is used by web apps. I thought I could simply add the AFS cluster as a Namespace server, replicate the files, and then remove the old namespace servers. However, when I go to add the new namespace server, it wants a local folder location which isn’t available. I was sure I saw that Nutanix Files is compatible with Windows DFS but I don’t know what I’m missing. Suggestions?
After upgrading to the latest Prism Central, AOS, and AHV versions, I wanted to check out the storage QoS options. But after looking all over, I could not find where to do this. I asked one of my fellow Nutanix adminstrators who has the same access as I do to the same resources and he showed me where the settings can be configured. However, I don’t have this option (and a few others) when logged in with my account. Not even with the Prism Admin account. I’ve tried different browsers, clearing browser cache, different computers. Nothing. Any ideas why I can’t see these options?
I’m looking for some possible suggestions for utilities to move SMB file shares to Nutanix Files. I’ve read most (if not all) the documentation in the portal and I’ve even migrated a few of these shares using robocopy (not without some learning experiences). However, most of the shares I have to migrate are 500 GB - 1.5 TB and business critical. Frankly, I’m not looking for any additional Robocopy learning experiences. So, I’m looking around for a good utility somewhere between Robocopy and Miria’s Atempo. The solution doesn’t have to be free but I don’t want overkill. Any suggestion?It may be worth adding that I am using Windows DFS as well. The source shares are DFS targets and I’m pointing the DFS targets to the Nutanix File Shares after migrating the files.
