RPO is in days, but falls under the 6 hour RPO check

I want to create a configuration in Sizer that takes a snapshot once a day.However, an error message is displayed on Sizer and configuration is not possible."Cluster: 'Cluster-1' nodes with SSD capacity less than 7.68TB are not allowed when configuring Hybrid nodes with RPO of 6 hour and node capacity ranging from >96TB upto 136TB. For more info, refer to Nutanix Maximum Configurations & Snapshot Frequency Field Requirements"Sizer's workload only has Daily Snapshots set."Hourly Snapshot Retained" is unchecked.However, for some reason, the condition check for 6 hours RPO is caught, and the hardware cannot be configured.What should I do to remove this error?

You can also try switching the Sizer Policy profile or re-configuring the selected Sizer Policy profile. If i try the same with HYCU it works as expected.Any suggestion?Thank you

Collector: Doubts regarding the vcpu/cpu calculation and the calculated number of cpu

Hi! I have two doubts related to Collector´s vcpu and cpu calculation.1) I couldn't find the information on the vcpu/cpu ratio per VM in Collector's Excel spreadsheet? Please, how is it calculated when we perform workload upload per VM? 2) In Sizer, I performed a manual modeling from Collecto´s Excel spreadsheet information as a “Raw Input” and compared it to the automatic per VM-upload modelling.In the analyzed scenario, the customer has 440 CPU Cores distributed in 19 physical servers/hosts in the current environment (vhost table information)  My calculations/modelling for a “Raw Input” is the same for the overall resources calculated by the automatic per VM upload (RAM, Datastore), except for the total o CPU cores in the cluster.The automatic per-VM upload/calculation was performed with the following settings: As result, the workload was modeled with 552 CPU cores:  Please, why does the per-VM upload have 100 more CPU cores than the existing customer´s environment (552 vs 440 from t

Splunk Workload Ingest per Indexer

I am curious why when sizing a Splunk workload and increasing the performance profile for the indexers it doesn’t increase the ingest rate per indexer rather than keeping it at 100 GB.  By not doing this, it keeps the same number of indexers Nutanix thinks it needs even though each indexer has more CPU/RAM.  I could be missing something simple here, but I would like to hear other thoughts.Capacity Planning Manual: Summary of performance recommendations

Sizer: "Powered On" & "Performance" Options Combined Does not Work

I am trying to import Nutanix Collector (latest available version) excel to sizer. The excel contains a large number of “PoweredOff” virtual machines. I want to make the sizing based on performance figures only for “PoweredOn” virtual machines. If I choose “CPU: performance” I get a warning message:“Data being imported contains one or more VMs that were powered ON during the collection period and reported CPU utilization. We recommend you to size both Powered ON & Powered OFF VMs.” The warning it self doesn’t make much sense. Maybe it should read“Data being imported contains one or more VMs that were powered OFF during the collection period and did not report CPU utilization. We recommend you to size both Powered ON & Powered OFF VMs.” Additionally “Upload” button is grayed out and I cannot proceed with the sizing. IMHO the “Upload” button should not be disabled.

Unable to Size remote DR Cluster with Nutanix Sizer

Hello Team,Hope your are all doing well  We need to size a New Nutanix Cluster for Disaster Recovery purposes of an existing cluster (04 x NX-8155-G7 with AHV).Before that, we need to scale the Existing platform by adding more compute ressources to support additionnal workloads. We were able to do it easily : we used a Scenario in Prism Central and added the workloads and clicked on the “Recommend” Button (please see pic below) :  Now, we are not able to do the following :Size the additionnal storage related to retention of local snapshots (for the Production Cluster) Size the Cluster of the DR Site : We used Nutanix collector to collect performance of the existing platform and next we exported the Excel Output file and imported it to Nutanix Sizer. We faced from the following :We are not able to inject the additionnal Workloads for the Production cluster We are not able to add the addtionnal storage related to retention of remote snapshots.Please do you have any idea to correctly size

Hyper-V Collector output causing error on import

Collector 3.5.1, Windows version. The customer has collected the data from a 2-node Hyper-V cluster and I can open the excel and browse through it - it looks right to me, I see all the VMs etc. When I try and import into sizer, I get “Some unknown error occurred”.  Any ideas?  There’s nothing particularly strange or unusual in the data that I can think of.  In the meantime I will probably try and manually add the equivalent workload. Thanks, Allan.
