So how much do you run your cluster memory usage? Currently we are at 50% usage but still adding VM's. My boss wants to run this to 100% and doesn't understand why I keep telling him this is a bad idea. I am trying to keep it at 2/3 to 3/4 usage of capacity. Am I right or wrong on this? I am doing a bad job of explaining this to my boss who doesn't seem to believe me so do you guys have any resources that can help me explain this? Right now we are running application servers and no core functions but we are looking to migrate our DHCP servers. We have 1.1 TB of memory capacity running at 51% usage. CPU usage is not a problem running at about 12%. Storage is also fine. We are running 6x Dell 740XC if that helps.
We are looking to make a hardware purchase in the near-term and have a question: Is there a necessity to go with SAS versions of SSD's? Or, are SATA versions sufficient? Also, we are weighing the options of the all-flash and hybrid (SSD & HDD) storage models. Please provide your experience with either. Thank you in advance for your response, -Tom
Please help on where are the created snapshots stored in Nutanix
Hi, I am currently working with a customer who is looking into Nutanix and we are planning a POC. They have large VMWARE environment running 6.7. They have some applications that require SR-IOV. If we decide to go to Acropolis, is SR-IOV supported in Acropolis or is there a feature similar to that available natively on Nutanix? Many thanks.
Hello All, I can not list the VMs with the v3 version, I have the same error with the API explorer, I have an error 403, my cluster is in version 5.5.3.1 can you help me?

We want a NCC Health Check Report on email only having FAIL and WARNING checks. We don't need the one marked as PASS
Hi, Is there a way to see/export the Hostname and IP of the VMs with the API via cURL? Anybody have an example o extract this information? Thanks Regards
Hi Together, How does the nutanix cluster handle failures with following settings: [list] [*]Cluster Redundancy Factor -> 3 [*]Container Replication Factor -> 2 [/list] 1) How many disks or nodes can fail? 2) Does this settings make sense or should the Container RF always set to 3 when Cluster RF is 3? Thanks for clarification! Kind Regard Steve
Has anyone successfully been able to get HyperV(or ESXi) nested under AHV? I do see nested [b]KVM[/b] VM's are supported but no mention of anything else. Only reason for exploring this is to get Cisco Umbrella VA's working under AHV so i don't have to re-purpose an old server to run HyperV/ESXi.
Dear All, Currently my Nutanix cluster consist of 3 Nutanix block, 5 node running on AHV 20170830.171 1 block of 3 NX-1065-G5 node 1 block of 1 NX6035-G5 1 block of 1 NX6035-G5 Recently, one of the NX6035-G5 is down due to hardware issue. Somehow, all the VMs hosted on this node not able to auto failover to the others node. Upon checking with Nutanix, we were informed that the failover failed as we don't have sufficient available memory. We were told that AHV will perform the failover for all the fail VMs to one particular node which have sufficient resources to accommodate it; like moving the whole load from the fail node to another node. Previously we are using VMware where it will failover VM by VM to all the available nodes. Anyone encounter similar issue with AHV?
Hi, I am actually doing my end of study internship, My subject is " implementation of hyperconverged infrastructure" I want to know how to migrate VMs from a legacy infrastructure with vmware Vsphere 5.6 to Nutanix hyperconverged infrastructure with VMware vsphere thank you.
Does anyone have a working example?
I’m in the sales process and the customer is asking me about the physical requirements of an NX appliance (particularly, the NX-1365-G6). Where can I find this information? Like power consumption, thermal dissipation, dimensions, etc... I know there are some [url=https://www.nutanix.com/products/hardware-platforms]here[/url], but they don’t list all the products there.
Hi, Looking to see if it is possible to manually deploy the CVM to Azure for use with Cloud connect? Also what is the reliance on the classic deployment model? Why can't the CVM be deployed using the Resource Manager model? Microsoft have been pushing customers away from the classic model over the last few years, its likely that the majority of customer with mature Azure deployments won't be using the classic model.
I am not able to discover new node placed in different switch in same VLAN from an existing cluster The issue not able to discover the newly installed nodes in new switch with same VLAN of existing cluster( it is in old switch ) , but not able to discover these new nodes in existing Could anyone help me to give a clue , why these nodes are not able to discover in the existing cluster. I want to expand the existing cluster with these new nodes
downloaded Nutanix CE image file from Next nutanix in my local system and uploaded in Ravello cloud via import tool. Once done I have created Ravello application with empty image and booted with nutanix uploaded image as bootable drive and published it. Once login to console It started nutanix installation but coming with error only one core available. Minimum cores required are 2. How do I overcome this error to install. And I don't have options to select cores in Ravello cloud , only options to select are CPU's, Disk's, network,ports. Can anybody help? Or suggestions to start working in Nutanix CE edition and understand console.
Hi I'm looking to created clustered files servers using Windows Server Failover Clustering - VMs will be in-guest, i'm using AHV. My understanding that presenting the Nutanix storage via iSCSI to WSFC servers is supported however i'm confused about how to setup the networking and the Nutanix ABS documentation doesn't make this clear. I'm used to creating a separate storage network / VLAN for all storage traffic however the iSCSI target IP address is recommended to be on the same network as the CVMs / all of the Nutanix infrastructure. So the question is do i create a separate network for storage and have it route to the iSCSI target IP address, or have the iSCSI initiators on the same network as the iSCSI target / data services IP? It wouldn't seem logical to mix the CVM traffic with storage traffic, however also not great to have to route storage traffic. Thanks Adam
Please help: When we have couple of vdisks in Volume Group can we delete that Volume Group? If yes, what happens to the vdisks which are already in that deleted volume group?
While creating the VM, is there a way to change the boot sequence? If no, how does Nutanix boot up the loaded image iso?
I'm having an issue disabling client authentication via REST API. Here is my code: [code]$disableauth = @{ value='false' } $disableauth = $disableauth | CovertTo-Json try { $r = Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post -Uri https://clusterip:9440/PrismGateway/services/rest/v2.0/authconfig/client_auth -Headers $head -ContentType $content -Body $disableauth } catch { $_.Exception.Message; } [/code] When I run this command, it gives me an error of "request aborted: could not create SSL/TLS secure channel". I have a similar call I use to enable authentication, which works without issue.
Hi guys, we're planning to move/migrate my MS SQL workload from physical standalone host to a new Nutanix cluster. We already engaged with local Nutanix representative for this. However, we encountered a few hurdles in terms of performance during and we can't be sure whether we have the right sizing for our performance requirement.
