Power on VM fails with error: "Operation failed: NoHostResources: No host is schedulable: 14"

I can’t start VM. I checked the status of the host with “acli host.get” command. Here is the output: 0.0.2.10 {  cpu_usage_ppm: 0  host_overhead_bytes: 0  logical_timestamp: 1  max_mem_ha_reserved_bytes: 0  mem_assigned_bytes: 0  mem_usage_bytes: 0  memory_size_bytes: 0  node_state: "AcropolisNormal"  num_cpus: 0  pool_size_bytes: 0  schedulable: False  uuid: "22deb90e-cd1c-48af-af43-5a3192775999"} The host is not in maintenance mode. Is there any command to flip “schedulable” to True?

Replace (Not Add) Category On VM Via RestAPI

Greetings everyone,I have been successful at creating a rest api call to ADD a category to the VM.  The issue is we only want 1 category per VM, so if the VM already has a category assigned we want it to REPLACE the value and not ADD it.  With my current code (ie: use GET command of VM, remove Status, replace categories and categories_mapping then use PUT command) the JSON object looks good before uploading but afterwards I see the new category and the old one.  I tried using a PATCH command but AHV doesn’t like that (and it isn’t in the documentation either).   New Category = NEW_CATVM Original State:    "categories": {      "OLD_CAT": "OLD_CAT",    } VM Post My Update State:    "categories": {      "OLD_CAT": "OLD_CAT",      "NEW_CAT": "NEW_CAT"    } VM Desired State:    "categories": {      "NEW_CAT": "NEW_CAT"    }Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Host CPU does not provide required features

I have several Citrix clusters with NX-8170-G8 and NX-8170-G9 nodes.  I want to perform updates but the VMs will not migrate. VMs need to be power cycled in order to get the VMs revert to the lower CPU in the cluster.I was looking for script that i can run in the intelligent ops playbook that will Identify the VMs that needs to be power cycled, and power cycle them.  Can assist with script to get the state of the VMs that needs to be power cycled?  Power cycle the VMs which don't have APC configured.  Power cycle the VMS which don't have APC configured to ensure CPU compatibility. Power cycle all the VMS in the cluster to ensure CPU compatibility. How do I find VMs that do not have APC configured?

Upgrade CE 2.1 to AOS 6.10

Hi,I upgraded AOS 6.8.1 to 6.10 but now I have a version incompatible with AHV and it is impossible via LCM to upgrade AHV. In the related KB 15185 there is a workaround but it does not work in my nested environment. Does anyone have a suggestion?Thanks

About cluster external IP address

Hi All,My customer has a scenario where they initially set up Nutanix in a hardware management lan, which is controlled by a firewall. Now they have a need to connect the backup server on the other end of the firewall, without opening the firewall, can we set the external IP to be bound to the network permitted by the firewall, so that the backup server can connect to the external IP? I don't know if there will be any problems.

How do I limit user permissions to only allow reboot of VMs?

We’re migrating from Vmware to AHV in parts of our environment.  In Vmware, our helpdesk has permissions to reboot virtual desktops.  Our desktops are all in one folder and their rights are limited to “View”, “Console” and “Change power state”.  How can I do this in Nutanix Element?  It doesn’t look like I can create folders.  And it looks like my options are pretty much administrator or view only.  Am I missing something?

Problem with kernel 6.1.0-25-amd64 with Nutanix

Hello.I detected a problem using the latest kernel 6.1.0.-25-amd64 with all my VMs under Nutanix. I recently upgraded all my Debian servers from version 12.6 to 12.7: in version 12.6 the linux kernel in use was 6.1.0-23-amd64 and in version 12.7 is 6.1.0-25-amd64. The issue is related with the download speed using this kernel in all my upgraded VM’s. It’s extremely slow. So after 2 days trying to figure out what was happening (installing debian 12.7 in a new VM same problem....installing in VirtualBox no problem at all), so I decided to rollback to the old kernel, maintaining the Debian version 12.7 (with kernel 6.1.0-23-amd64) and the problem stopped. I’m using the following system, see picture:  Here are some speed tests: Debian version 12.6:wget https://proof.ovh.net/files/100Mb.dat--2024-09-05 01:26:12-- https://proof.ovh.net/files/100Mb.datResolviendo proof.ovh.net (proof.ovh.net)... 141.95.207.211, 2001:41d0:242:d300::Conectando con proof.ovh.net (proof.ovh.net)[141.95.207.211]:4

Nutanix supports an Prism Central upgrade path from current version N to target N+2 in most cases.

Hi there We are running pc.2023.4.0.2 and because we would like to upgrade to AOS 6.8.1, we need to first upgrade the Prism Central to pc.2024.x. However, upgrading from pc.2023.4.0.2 to any pc.2024.x at the moment, it’s not supported. As of today, the latest PC Version is 2024.1.0.2. I do understand the upgrade N to N+2, but when it comes to PC, i don’t know what N+2 means relative to pc.2023.4.0.2.Considering that AOS 6.5 is going EOM in Oct 2024, we are a little afraid that we’ll not be able to upgrade our AOS’es 6.5.x to AOS 6.8 in time, because PC 2024.x is a prerequisite for AOS 6.8. What to expect here, and how to proceed? Best regards,Casian

I'm looking for information about VM creation with REST API or Postman, and so far I can't find anything “good”, I find it strange because Nutanix always have very good information, but in this case I can't find much, neither videos, I know there is no Test Drive. But they should have some videos on this important topic.
