Is there a feature within the Nutanix Sizer that allows for manual adjustment of the vCPU to pCPU ratio? If so, could someone guide me through the process or point me to the relevant documentation or resources?
Hi everyoneI lead the Sizer team. I wanted to formally introduce Sizer Basic which is now available for all customers in their My Nutanix portalSizer Basic - Provides customers a simple approach to building out an environment. Maybe you are thinking about new projects or want to do some what-ifs on expanding your cluster with more workloads. Sizer Basic is great to scope that out. From there can share the scenario with your SE. Here is a demo
I am having issues editing the scenarios, I’m working on with the below error message: Advanced scenarios can only be edited by Advanced users. Basic users can view the Advanced scenarios in read-only mode.This editing and modifications worked for me last week, not sure what happened.
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!
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?
Hi everybody,i’m trying to Size a Mine appliance with Veeam (Workload: Mine (v2) with Veeam) leaving all default and with Nutanix Hardware and i get the error below:No Optimal Solution found for following cluster(s) due to:MineModel not supported for standalone backup mineIn order to generate an optimal solution, please try modifying the workload requirements and/or sizing options. 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
Hi.I have access only to advanced configurations, but I would like to recover some old configurations that are now in basic mode.Last week, I could see my basic configurations once, but not anymoreHow can I get access to my basic configurations?Thanks.
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.
Dear Support,My problem is that i would login to the sizer.nutanix.com website, the login window looping.I have a valid registration and a certifiace as well.One of my collague has the same problem. Thanks for your help. Bálint Schlenker
What is Nutanix Collector ?It is a desktop application that collects cluster statistics from your VMware or Prism cluster. This output can then be viewed in Nutanix collector or can be downloaded as an Excel file. You can then upload these Excel files into Nutanix Sizer to size and predict future workloads or just to collect statistics on current usage.Nutanix collector enables you to collect data in following methods: You can choose between: Data center/Cluster or All entities registered to vCenter Single Cluster or all entities registered to Prism Central What you need in order to install:You can install Nutanix collector on your desktop and then connect to either vSphere or Prism to collect statistics. Log in to Nutanix portal and download Nutanix collector desktop application package from Downloads>Essential Tools Install the package on your desktop What you can see:The Clusters Summary tab displays the configuration details and performance metrics of the clusters includi

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
Hello All,Due to an ongoing project; Yesterday I subscribed on 30 days trial of Nutanix Sizer. Everything till the creation of scenario went well but facing issues when I try to add workload into my scenario. Under Workload addition form, have entered and saved all required info but unfortunately workload is not adding into my scenario. Tried almost all options but no luck. Please advise and help to get it resolve.
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
Hey everyone, is anyone experiencing issues with Sizer today (31/8/21)? When I login all my scenarios have gone (including others shared with me), and if I try and create a new scenario it just sticks on the new scenario details page...
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.
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?
I would like to create a new scenario with Lenovo HW or modify one with NX HW to Lenovo but I don’t how I could that. Anyone could tell me if is it possible?
Hi. I’m trying to use Nutanix collector 4.0 to collect Hyper-V sizing information, however the following error message is displayed during the scanning phase:“Bad http response returned from the server. Code: 500. Content”I tried to use it with Remote option and locally on a cluster member and the same happens.Running the precheck script it shows these failures on the picture: The user logged in is a Domain Admin and local admin, however the script returns a failure about the user rights. Does anyone know how can I enable the “Basic auth” stated on the script output?I also tried Collector version 3.5.1 with no success.Any tips?

Hi, I’m trying to make some changes to a configuration I put together for a customer, in relation to the Mine backup. I am trying to alter any aspect (in particular I’m trying to change the retention to be longer, wtih fewer VM’s) - but each time I try I get the error “ The number of Server Virtualisation VMs in cluster: CLUSTER should not be more than total nodes in the cluster. “ Anyone know what this is please?
