5 Essential Tips for Maximizing Your Experience at Nutanix .NEXT for Bloggers
We are implementing Nutanix with VMware. From a security point of view we want to monitor our new hosting platform. All other systems in the environment log to our SIEM product. Is there any guidance or can anyone give me some guidance on what to have switched on in the logging and to what level?
Can the CVM mount/create a new VMware datastore using NFS4 yet?
I have the latest version of Nutanix ERA installed in my lab and already have a registered Oracle server. From that server the template created without any problems and i can create new servers. But when i want to clone que existent server always fails wit: Driver execution failed. Error: 'NoneType' object is not iterable. Any ideas
We have 4 node AHV Cluster with approx. 30 VMs with RHEL 7.9. We are getting ping drop issue when we log into the VM and run IFCONFIG cmd we are seeing rx ping drop issue Can anyone tell what could be the issue here?
Long story short, W2016 server moving from HV to AHV. VirtIO drivers are installed but whenever the machine boots after migrating to AHV, it's bsods with inaccessible boot device. If I go through the whole booting to recovery, deleting the driver and injecting the driver, it boots up but thats a lot of manual handling.When MOVE migrates to AHV it boots up as SATA drive then it seems to clone the disk and reattaches it as a SCSI drive. It boots to the desktop as SATA but then as a SCSI drive it fails, so the driver issue makes sense. The issue is why the drivers are not working when they're installed on the HV machine before migration and don't work after.
I’ve been using API to fetch VM info from v2 API from Prism Central/PrismGateway/services/rest/v2.0/vms/0a771e50-a3f5-4b12-838d-2820884a6095/?include_vm_disk_config=true&include_vm_nic_config=trueThe response I’m getting is as below{"message":"Error occurred while getting VM list: RPC error kTransportError raised: Error response code: 404","detailed_message":null,"error_code":{"code":1202,"help_url":"http://my.nutanix.com"}}This same API was working beforeTried VM from another cluster same response V2 APIs from individual clusters are working with same UUIDAny help is appreciated, also if there is any documentation available where I can check what these codes mean
I run a 6-node nutanix cluster, and planing to run some containers (LXC) , inside VM using ZFS pool, to leverage on easy clone, migrate, snapshot the containers mainly to transport those clones to other system (DR) I read that ZFS need to deal directly with disks hardware to be sure about what is or what is not actually written to disks. Is ZFS suaitable or not, being run on top of nutanix platform, concerning the data corruption risk or losing pool, because it can’t deal directly with disk hardware? Hardware is supermicro bundled with nutanix-enterprise.
Hey guys,I’m getting an error regarding email alerts, this is what I can observer on the send-email.log2021-06-17 07:37:03,407Z INFO send-email:242 Not sending emails for first 1 hours of cluster creation.

I am looking for a patching product that will tie into Nutanix and be able to take a snapshot before patching, we are looking to automate this process to get away from manually taking snapshots prior to deploying patches. We do have Protection Domains setup but with the timing intervals it is not ideal only use those pre-deploy as they can be hours behind the actual patching deployments. If anyone is using a product that has this capability please let me know or if you may have a better way to accomplish this within Nutanix.
I got some issues with having some logs showing up in Splunk. I managed to get the account login [Fail & Successful] by adding in the PRISM modules but now I need to get the account creation / deletion showing up in Splunk. I can’t seem to find the msg be it account or creation. Is there a need for me to add in other modules as well? I am kinda stuck with this step. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
At a customer we have a single Nutanix 3-nodes Cluster running like a charm for a few years. All virtual machines are snapshoted by Prism, 3 times a day, and then replicated to a remote backup site which is Microsoft Azure. In Azure we have then a CVM and some blob storage to store backup replicas.I’m currently wondering our possibilities if a severe outage occurs on the site hosting the physical cluster leading to the loss of the hardware.I know that we could order a new physical cluster and then retrieve the snapshots externalized to Azure to rebuild the infra, but it means that the infra is down for a few weeks (supply time, etc...).Is there a possibility to restore externalized snapshots directly to Microsoft Azure VMs?
Do you think is there any way i can migrate data from standalone server to the AHV?
Nutanix, AHV, MS Server 2016 installed with IIS, Media Wiki.Out of the blue, the server performs very slow. The MediaWiki site takes forever to load ( at times a Server 500 error appears when going to the MediaWiki site from a desktop). Opening the console shows the Server logon window but very slow. Everything is very slow. Once logged on, it takes almost 20 min for the server management window to open.Currently, vCPU=6, Cores per CPU=4, RAM 16CPU Usage around 10% and Memory usage around 17%Only server that acts like that. Ran DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth and so on and everything is ok/ no problems. Rebooted all hosts.Not sure what caused this all of a sudden ….
I am working on setting up a Custom role for end users to self serve market place apps. Problem is that I can’t see where I can remove access to Polices (Image Placement), Hardware (GRU), and Files. They don’t appear to be in the action list.
I want to transfer Prism Alerts, Events logs to another log collection server. A log collection server is a solution called innerbus. How can I send it?
I am getting this error when adding my AWS environment to Nutanix Move toolAWS Authorization Error. RequestCanceled: request context canceled caused by: context deadline My move tool version is 4.0.0
Hello, all. We’re running vCenter 7 with AOS 5.15.x, and I’m learning about how VMware has now decoupled the DRS/HA cluster availability from vCenter appliance and moved that into a three VM cluster (the vCLS VMs).In the interest of trying to update our graceful startup/shutdown documentation and code snippets/scripts, I’m trying to figure out how to handle these vCLS VMs. They reside on the Nutanix shared storage, so I obviously would like to shut them down before gracefully shutting down the Nutanix CVMs/ADSF cluster as well as ensure the CVMs are up and cluster is good before allowing them to power back on using that storage. Evidently, these vCLS VMs are very aggressive about powering back on or recreating themselves once deleted, so I’m a little unsure what to expect.So with regard to powering back on the ESX hosts, I assume when I take them back out of maintenance mode the CVMs will be powered back on (or maybe I have to do that manually?), and after waiting a few minutes, I woul
How to calculate cluster cpu ready time using python and REST API? I am having performance issue in finding whether my clusters are over utilized or under utilized. If I can get cpu_ready_time_ppm or cpu steal time for each cluster, it will help us ? Let me know if there is any other direct way to find it.An early response will be highly appreciated.
Do you know guys a way to speed up uploading large image files (vhdx etc) to a Nutanix container? Using browser or winscp we got maximum 180GB/hour (using a windows VM with direct connect to CVM network, no routers/firewalls). Any idea?
This is a continuation of the post that I wrote here: https://next.nutanix.com/topic/show?tid=33950&fid=31 Part of this was resolved however we are still running into an issue with some of our VMs in which they get stuck in this state: { "status": { "description": "2016 Template-4/17/19", "state": "ERROR", "execution_context": { "task_uuids": [ "8d0c2110-461b-4252-a223-11016ff8714b" ] }, "message_list": [ { "message": "Edit conflict: please retry change. Entity CAS version mismatch.", "reason": "CONCURRENT_REQUESTS_NOT_ALLOWED" } ]} The only way to clear it is to power the VM down and update the VM within the GUI. However, upon trying to subsequently update the VM by API it results int the same error. Please advise.
Hello, I try to activate the SMB Protocol for a Nutanix Fileserver Deplyoment. (Prism Version 5.19.1). Join AD failed with error - Failed to join domain: failed to precreate account in ou OU=….: Invalid DN syntax. The uses User has permission to create a computer Object in this OU, but is not a Domain admin. Perhaps the reason can by that the user do not have permission to Read/Write service principal names. (A more precise Error Message could be helpful) I can not get the permission for SPN. For ohter Services f.e. SSO I have request a SPN with a KeyTabe File. Is something like this Possible with the Nutanix Fileserver too?
Hello Community, I have some doubts about running Nutanix on VMWare with ESXi with Cisco ACI fabric. To start, we have already married ourselves to a Cisco ACI network fabric (two sites connected with 12x10Gbit fiber (120Gbit)). We are using an IPN / Spine / Leaf topology, with APIC clusters in each site. In each DC there will be 24 Nutanix Nodes. All of my question have to do with the best practices of integrating these technologies. 1) Is it necessary to use VMware NSX to reap the benefits of Cisco ACI? 2) Can we just use a simple VMware installation (without NSX) and allow Nutanix full access to the ACI fabric? 3) Whats the best practices related to these three technologies coexisting together? I have found documents on Nutanix/ACI and Nutanix/VMWare, but I cant find anything on using all three together in terms of hierarchy and how to stitch it all together. Any guidance from those who have experience would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Michael
Is it possible for purposes of DR in a cloud solution to move just the VMWare environment?Can you replicate your Production Nutanix VMware environment to a cloud based solution? Say IBM cloud? They say you can but i guess i am having a hard time seeing how that will work? I am really new to the whole cloud solution arena and my company wants to move our DR\Datacenter to cloud? We have business reasons for using IBM cloud but they do not have a nutanix cloud infrastructure but tell us we can bring our VMWare environment.
We noticed that recently in our test cluster all operations take very long to complete. This seems to be due to long lasting “cerberus” tasks being executed with a type “uncharge”. Does anyone know what “cerberus” is doing or how I could speed it up? Whenever we kill the cerberus tasks manually all other queued ‘non cerberus’ tasks start to execute.
