So I was wondering what Akbor actually did here. In the reply he says he just, “This is now resolved, I used edit-zeus to set state.”Is there a set of instructions or some sort of helpful advice for what he meant by edit-zeus? I tried poking around but it seemed pretty dangerous for a linux noob like myself LoL Thanks for any help you can give, Brian Removing failed node 2 months ago 1 reply 52 views Hi everyone,We had an issue with SATADOM on of the nodes, which has been replaced. Unfortunately, we had to rebuild the CVM as well as they hypervisor and now need to add the rebuilt node back to the cluster. The problem is we can’t remove the existing node as we are getting the following error:Error: Cannot mark node for removal. Node xx (xx.xx.xx.xx) is to be added back to metadata storeDoes anyone know how we can overcome this error?P.S. we don’t have Nutanix support coverage anymore.Many thanks in advance.Akbor
Is this a possible option? I currently have a single node (MS-01) running nutanix CE and would like to add storage to expand Files. Is it possible to bring in additional hardware in nutanix CE for a storage only node?
hello someone can help me when i try to create cluster node and they give me this message
Hi AllI have a Sangoma SBC VM installation but for the NICs it shows 1 MBps unknown. Connection seems to work but I am worried about the actual speed if they only use 1mbps I have tried to install NGT on the linux base but it fails with incompatible OS : Sangoma LinuxI am not really a Linux bod so not sure what I need to do to get the NGT drivers on to th SBC - can anyone assist with some idiot style instructions to do this? ThanksEric
Does anyone know why a host would fail to bring up network interfaces after a host reboot? I have to go in and manually bring them up using IFconfig then everything is fine.
What is the recommended snapshot age in Nutanix?How many days should you keep the snapshot?
Im trying to install nutanix on Cisco Hyperflex M5 Server and I get the following errors.Has anyone experienced this and how to solve it?2024-04-17 05:23:04,932Z INFO installation_device: -drive file=/dev/sdj,cache=writethrough,format=raw2024-04-17 05:23:04,959Z DEBUG Using AHV-metadata iso for AHV installation2024-04-17 05:23:04,966Z INFO Executing /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -m 32G -machine q35 -enable-kvm -drive file=/dev/sdj,cache=writethrough,format=raw -drive file=/phoenix/imaging_helper/installer.iso,media=cdrom -netdev user,id=net0,net=192.168.5.0/24 -device e1000,netdev=net0,id=net0,mac=00:25:b5:a0:f3:01 -vnc :1 -boot order=d -pidfile installer_vm.pid -daemonize -smp 4 -serial file:/tmp/installer_vm.log -drive file=/phoenix/imaging_helper/installer.iso-meta.iso,media=cdrom2024-04-17 05:23:05,074Z INFO Installer VM is now running the installation2024-04-17 05:23:05,082Z INFO Installer VM running with PID = 51722024-04-17 05:23:05,105Z DEBUG svm_rescue:Unable to read /etc/nutan
Hi Guys,Can anyone confirm that it is possible to unlicense one or two NX clusters that are in production in order to re-allocate the same licenses but smarter?Explanation: We have 2 clusters with 3 AOS Pro licenses sets (Cores + FLASH)Set1: first 3 nodes of cluster1 (2019, renewed 2022)Set2: first 3 nodes of cluster2 (2021, renewed 2024)Set3: 2 more nodes, one for each cluster (2022)We should then have set1 allocated for cluster1, set2 for cluster2 and set3 split between the 2 clusters but currently each set is used partially in cluster1 and 2 which is a mess for next licenses renewal…So my target would be to reclaim all the licenses for both clusters and then reallocate them, cleaner, through seamless licencing. Is that scenario possible without stopping the exploitation? Thanks for your advice and guidance.
Hi all,I received the following error when I tried to create a protection policy with sync replication for one vm from two clusters managed from the same PC, “Failed to apply protection policy 'PP_sync' on the VM 'CentOS7-DEV' because 'Magneto is in recovery mode after PC DR'”. Some time ago I restored the PC but I didn't find any error before now, also NCC didn't report any issue.Regards
Just wondering if anyone knows if there are any documented instances of someone being able to successfully re-inject the VirtIO drivers into a UEFI-based Windows VM? At first, we thought it was just a VMware problem, but then we had the same issue happen on a native-AHV VM. The VM operates normally for weeks, with regular reboots, but randomly after a reboot, it bluescreens with an "Inaccessible Boot Device" error.We haven't found a single "solution" that has actually fixed the problem. We can get the VM to boot into recovery mode, but none of the recovery options work. If we manually load up VirtIO driver from the command prompt (drvload vioscsi.inf) we can regain access to our drives, but adding the driver to the boot image via DISM does not help (dism /image:c:\ /add-driver /driver:vioscsi.inf). The server reboots to the same blue screen.SFC doesn't help, neither do the standard bootrec options (i.e. bootrec /fixmbr, bootrec /fixboot, bootrec /rebuildbcd), nor does "bootsec /nt
Hello Guys I have a plan to refreshment nutanix from G5 to G8 or G9but I have a question. Can I add node G8 or G9 to cluster G5?So that I can migrate VMs completely before upgrading. Please, someone with experience, please advise me.Thank you
Hi,how do you think about migration of a single MS Exchange Server incl. its database via Move?I know that is not recommended but there are some technical facts for?In the past I’ve migrated a lot of MS SQL servers via Move without problems (migration offline while vm was powered off - virtio drivers were installed in a previous step).kind regards,Thomas
I’m fairly new to AHV and Prism. We’ve been running Nutanix for a few years but our hosts are running ESXi. We’re setting up a new cluster with AHV and we’re planning to migrate everything there. One issue we have is that some hosts have the NVIDIA GPU card in them. In Vmware, I have affinity rules so that the VMs that use the GPU will only run on the hosts that have the GPU card. Can I do the same thing with AHV? Going through KB articles, I get mixed messages. One KB article flat out says that it’s not supported.
Hello, We have a couple of Nutanix clusters (with or without Prism) and we would like to monitor them from ELK. What would be the best ? Is there a KB on how to setup a web service collector ? ThanksNicolasHFR
Dears: Currently, I found a problem when using Prometheus to monitor Nutanix Objects according to https://prism IP:9440/oss/api/nutanix/metrics. This works fine for a long time.But when our AD team disable NTLM v1 in domain controller, problem happened, Prometheus could not work as before to get the data from API.Current Prometheus config is like below:- job_name: 'object_exporter_bucketname’ metrics_path: /oss/api/nutanix/metrics/[object store name]/[bucket name] scheme: https scrape_interval: 90s static_configs: - targets: ［https://Prism Central IP:9440］ tls_config: insecure_skip_verify: true basic_auth: username: ［Prism Central service account］ password: ［Password of service account］ Anyone know if NTLM v1 is used during API authentication?
Hello, Is it possible to replace the default SSL certificate of the X-Ray “appliance”, I didn’t find a procedure for that ? Thank you in advance (hoping this is the correct place to get help on this)PhS
Hiya - I’m just wondering how do I go about (who do I ask :)) getting HPE hardware in the Nutanix sizer ? By default the sizer only has NX hardware and it’s my understanding that adding additional nodes (from the likes of HPE/Dell) can be enabled Thank you muchly :)
Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to amend the subnet associated to the NIC of multiple VMs via Powershell or API. Reading the documentation on PowerShell it appears this is maybe not possible without deleting the NIC and adding it. When attempting this via the API I am getting incorret uuid errors even though they are copied straight from the NIC.Many thanks,R
Hello everyone,We are looking for an automated and organized way to stop all machines and servers in the cluster.Can anyone help me create a playbook that will perform the following actions:Shutdown all machines in the cluster.Shutdown 3 CVMs - after ensuring that all machines in the cluster are shutdown.Stop the cluster - cluster stop.Shutdown the hosts.And is it possible to perform the reverse action? To start the cluster.Thank you very much.
Hello,I would like to get information of physical switch ports connected to virtual switch uplink ports via REST API. I don’t see API for the same in Prism Central v3 or Prism Element v2. I see the connectivity in Prism Element Network topology GUI. Appreciate if you could share how to retrieve this information.Thanks,Sachin Vishwarupe
Hi, I have seen a previous topic on this subject and noticed JeroenTielen said you need to add the share to the index of the windows machine to have it indexed on that specific machine. but how can you do such a thing when i see in Microsoft forum:Windows does not support indexing network shares. You may still search them, but this is done in real-time without indexing, so may be quite slow. what can i do to make searching in Nutanix shares faster?
こんにちは3ノードで運用していましたが、1ノードが故障したため、4ノード目を追加したのち障害ノードを削除するつもりでした。しかし、ノード追加してクラスタ拡張は完了と出たものの、4ノード目が正常は追加されていないように見えます。cluster statusを見ると4ノード目はMedusa以降がすべてDownとなっています。4ノード目は、追加前にmanage_ovsで設定変更を実施した際にWARNINGが出ていて、これを解消しないままノード追加をしてしまったのが不味かったのかもしれないのですが、復旧できるでしょうか？ クラスタ拡張実施前に4ノード目で出ていたWARNINGは下記の通りです※全NICがbr0にアサインされている状態から、2nicのみbr0にしようとしましたnutanix@NTNX-51e75960-A-CVM:192.168.0.114:~$ manage_ovs --bridge_name br0 --bond_name br0-up --interface eth4,eth5 update_uplinks2024-04-13 12:40:07,181Z WARNING manage_ovs:1313 Failed to fetch gflags.
