5 Essential Tips for Maximizing Your Experience at Nutanix .NEXT for Bloggers
Hi All, One of my customer doing POC Nutanix right now. They create VM with application that use for Exam Online. So they set Public IP on that VM where their student can access for Exam from outside. Suddenly for 2 days the VM active, they found on their router that VM consume almost 500 Mbps internet bandwith usage. They already have that application on non-Nutanix server and not find any issue related. Is there any application or service or something on Nutanix platform consume internet bandwith that we don’t know?
Sorry if this topic has already been covered. I have been trying to use the new "Portable Foundation" app that runs on windows to image a cluster without using a VM. Every time I try (three so far) I get errors that the IPs I have provided are already used. I am using a flat switch and the 10G and 1G are unplugged from the customers switches. I have tried with my laptop in and out of airplane mode, with the firewall on and off and still receive the errors. The only difference is that each time I try, the listed IP conflicts are never the same. It will tell me in the first try that x, y, and z are in use, then the second time it may say that a, b, and y are in use. Any ideas? I really like the idea of this app working. Thanks, -David [img]https://d1qy7qyune0vt1.cloudfront.net/nutanix-us/attachment/d0b2826a-077a-429a-84fe-be3b71f35256.png[/img]
Please Help: As per this video, when the new data is written to the cloned/snapshotted vDisk, what happens when we delete a snapshot? Say we created three snapshots and deleted a second snapshot which have new data written while the base vDisk was read only, what happens to the newly written data? Will it be committed to the base vDisk or the current state snapshot will be alive and other will be deleted?

Does Nutanix Files support dedupe & compression?
Hello All, The infrastructure team within my organization has recently rolled out several Nutanix environments. Unfortunately we are only able to discover the individual VM's and not the actual appliances. When we tried to address this with the Infrastructure team it was stated that no SSH credentials can be provided as the only credential come from the vendor. Our Discovery tool only supports Nutanix discovery via SSH. Which leads me to my Question? Is anybody performing Discovery on Nutanix appliance and VM's using Discovery tools in there environment and if so how are you achieving this?
CVM Swap and Partitions details. What are the partition used for metadeta.
For a customer i'm managing a AHV cluster. One of the virtual machines needs to have direct access to a network interface for monitoring traffic (port mirroring). Is this possible with the current releases of AHV? With kind regards, Ruud
I'm adding workloads a new Scenario with Sizer Nutanix and I have a doubt about the sizing design because when I add a MV with 384 GB RAM the recomendation of Nodes are only 256 GB or 192 GB of RAM Memory. Could we explain why this. Regards
According to the documentation, Backplane traffic segmentation is [u]not[/u] supported in a configuration for "ESXi clusters in which the CVM is connected to a VMware distributed virtual switch" . What I'd like to understand is whether this is related to technical reasons, or it is just a configuration limitation of the CVM installer/Prism management? So far I counldn't find a comprehensive guide/document about setting up a Nutanix cluster with vSphere distributed switches, and nodes with 2x10gbps each. It doesn't seem to make sense to me to set this up with standard swtches (i.e. no Network I/O control) where all traffic (VM, storage, vMotion, ...) use the same physical uplinks.
Hi Team, Please let us know how to get below values using v2 apiversion. Previously we are using apiversion v1 and getting metrics using /vms [url=https://hostname4:9440/PrismGateway/services/rest/v1/vms/]https://hostname4:9440/PrismGateway/services/rest/v1/vms/[/url] Now with api version v2 we are not able to get below mentioned metrics [b]hypervisor_cpu_usage_ppm[/b] not able to find this with both urls(vms,virtual disks) [b]hypervisor_memory_usage_ppm[/b] not found [b]memoryCapacityInBytes[/b] not found [b]ipaddresses[/b] not found but found requested_ip_address are both same?? [b]controllerVm[/b] not found Able to get few metrics using virtual_disks and above mentioned metrics we are not able to get, Are these not available in v2 or modified to anyother url.
Hello, I need to understand how nutanix snapshot he lives together with vmware snapshot. It's possible to protect VM with Nutanix snapshot although maybe some users make snapshots from vmware side ? Do they work together ? are there any contraindications or special attentions ? Do they not interfere with each other? I think only be careful not to interfere any restore snapshot from nutanix side with any backup/snapshot made vmware side (aka veeam) ? Thanks Manuel
According to the Prism Web console guide, there is no mention about how to create a two-node cluster. [url=https://portal.nutanix.com/#/page/docs/details?targetId=Web-Console-Guide-Prism-v510:wc-cluster-single-node-c.html#nconcept_fxk_fxl_pbb]https://portal.nutanix.com/#/page/docs/details?targetId=Web-Console-Guide-Prism-v510:wc-cluster-single-node-c.html#nconcept_fxk_fxl_pbb[/url] It might be this ?

I’vejust set up AFS 3.5.5, I’ve enabled SMB protocol and the FS joined AD. The home share has not been created! Why?
I'm new to Nutanix and learning as I go. I'm looking at monitoring and alerting and noticed an alert that has not auto resolved. The specific alert is: Node Marked To Be Detached From Metadata Ring I've run ALL NCC Health Checks on the node and it comes back healthy. This alert is set to auto resolve but for some reason will not resolve. I check policy and the auto-resolve checkbox is checked. I did some digging and found a KB article (#000004269) for alert_auto_resolve_helper. I read about this NCC check and I don't see this as an available check in my environment. Any thoughts and tips are appreciated. Thanks!
We normally keep a handful of template VM’s with different type of OS that are updated and “ready to go” and use these for global automation when deploying new machines. I would like a way to deploy these templates as qcow2 images globally using the Prism Central image management. After a template VM are updated, I would like to automate them beeing converted to qcow2 images (already got this working with “qemu-img convert” command) and then import the qcow2 image to the Image repository in Prism Central to be distributed to all sites. The last step I have not managed to figure out how to do. Obviously I need some kind of API or CLI to automate this but all I find is how to do this using the GUI in PC. Did I miss something?
Hi, My customer is considering leveraging NearSyncDR for their production clusters. Looks like I have to explain to them how NearSync should be configured and how it works to match their needs for future plan. As it matters, I have dived around Nutanix portal for some documents related to this technology but nothing explains clearly why it should run by its behavior in the example below: In the case I configured a schedule that repeats 1 min and retention policy of local cluster for 5 days, NearSync will work as that it will: [list] [*]Create a snapshot per minute and retain it for 15 minutes. [*]Create hourly snapshots and retain for 6 hours. [*]Create daily snapshots and retain for 5 days. [/list]So the question is if a snapshot A was created and deleted in 15 mins later, in the case user wanted to use this snapshot A to recover his file, how did he do? Is snapshot retaining time able to be changed by any command?
Hi, I'm planning a 3 node Lenovo 2320-E node. The most it will ever grow, is to a 4 node. Each node has a 4 x 1/10Gb BaseT network card (IMM/IPMI) connection is separate. The max number of VM's will probably never exceed 16 (Windows 2008R2/Windows 2016 ) The priority of importance in this case is: [list=1] [*]Reliability [*]Lowest Cost [*]Performance [/list] Network Config Option 1 (1 switch 1 GB ports only): [list=1] [*]Purchase 1 switch with dual hot-swap power supplies. (Not to jinx myself, but switches have a low fail rate) [*]Setup each node as balance-slb, with 4 x 1Gb BaseT [/list] Network Config Option 2 (2 switches 1GB ports only) [list=1] [*]Purchase 2 switches, each with a single power supply [*]Setup each node as balance-slb, with 4 x 1Gb BaseT [/list] Network Config Option 3 (1 switch with both 1 & 10Gb BaseT) [list=1] [*]Purchase a switch that supports mixed 1 & 10Gb BaseT ports [*]Setup each node as balance-slb and use 2 x 10Gb (of the 4 por
Hello all, i'm trying to build a very simple home lab so i can get through the NCP cert, hopefully prior to our new nutanix gear arrives at my work. at home i have an i7 8700k, 16gb of ram, and several HDDs. i also have a NAS device. i run windows 10 on my one available machine. my issue is this: i can only feasibly spare 12 gb of ram, and i dont have a dedicated 200 GB SSD, but i have several terabytes of HDD storage available. is it possible for me to get a home lab up and running with this config? using VMWare Workstation or something similar? thanks, Tony

Hi !I want to make an image of a windows server on the ABS disk. How can I copy the file to images on CVM to start migrate the Fysical server to Virtual. WinSCP is so slow so it will take 6-7 hours. To write it to ABS iSCSI it is fast but only problem to copy it to AOS. File system is NTFS.thanks!-Kim W-
I am having an issue adding a share to a new AFS instance where it reports “iSCSI discovery of targets failed to iSCSI portal xxx.xxx.10.5. Ensure that the stargate external data services IP and the CVM IPs are reachable from FSVM.” I have confirmed the CVM IP’s and FSVM IP’s are all bound to the eth0 interface of there respective devices and are all in the same xxx.xxx.10.xxx network segment. All devices can ping all IP’s in the range so at least basic comms are working. I am sure I am missing something obvious but not sure where to go from here. Suggestions please!
I just deployed a Witness VM (ESXi) for our first 2 node cluster and after setting the IP and reboot it gets the host name NTNX-<IP NUMBER>-A-CVM.Since it seems the witness VM is a kind of CVM I assume it wants to use the NTNX-<NAME>-CVM naming convention or it is OK to set the host name to whatever?Worked fine using “sudo /usr/local/nutanix/cluster/bin/change_cvm_hostname <hostname>” to set the host name.
For Files Analytics, are the ports required TCP or UDP? I know that the ports to open are 7, 3000, 29092 but just wanted to be clear on tcp or udp. Thanks
