How to Edit RVTools before import to Sizer

I’m attempting to import an RVTools into the Sizer tool. I want to exclude some of the VMs before import by editing the RVTools file.  When I edit the file and try to import, I get an error “Host cluster cell not found”There are more than 300 VMs, so I can’t import on the VM level and just disable the individual workloads there.Any ideas or methods anyone would suggest to editing the RVTools beforehand? Thanks in advance!

ntnxcollector_precheck.ps1 is not working with german active directory

I tried to use the precheck script on one of our Hyper-V servers.Everything works fine, but I get the error message ".... not a Domain Admin." even though my user is a domain admin. I think this might be related to the fact that the Domain Admins group is called "Domänen-Admins".Has anyone seen something like this before?

Sizer 5.0 is out

Great pleasure to say Sizer 5.0 is now liveTwo very big thingsCluster settings/cluster policy.  We always allowed you to edit the model list and set thresholds for cpu/ram etc that the cluster must meet.  Lot more now.  Mihn cpu speed.  Required networking.  Also added policy.  So you can state I want production, test/dev, or mission critical policy.  This gives you more rigor in the sizing as enforces best practicesMultiple recommendations  Sizer by default gives you the lowest cost solution.  That is there but now core optimized and storage optimized too.  So solution with more cores or more storage that fits in cost range you state.  Good to have multiple options

Unable to manually edit my scenarios!

Did partners lose the ability to manually configure nodes?  I need to see available procs for a model and all of a sudden I don’t see a way to look at any manual configuration options.  This isn’t good.

Custom sizer hardware configurations supported?

Hello team, We used Nutanix sizer to configure a 3 node cluster, if hybrid mode is selected the smaller suggested option for cold data is a 4 X 2Tb SAS disks set when we choose 2 x 960Gb SSD for hot data. Is it possible to get support and buy a license if we configure the node with 2 x 2Tb disks? It's a small environment and we don't need all that extra space. Every hardware component is in the supported compatibility matrix of the vendor, just not sure Nutanix can fully support a custom configuration
