Objects Storage

I have replication configured from one Nutanix object bucket to another Nutanix object bucket and it is always stuck at 3. As data is added to the source bucket I can see it replicates, but the 3 objects never seem to clear. This leads to RTO and RPO warnings daily. Is there a resolution to this? 

I am in the process of copying/moving about 20TB of data from Azure Blob to a Nutanix object bucket and the copy job stops at exactly 2000 files every time I try to start or resume the job. Is there a limit somewhere on the bucket or within the system I am not aware of? 

My grandmother used to make the best chocolate chip cookies, her recipe was unbeatable! I’d love to leave the story there, but one not-so-fine day she thought she’d try a different recipe, just to mix things up. What was she thinking! The new cookies tasted nowhere near as good as her original recipe. Ok, she could’ve spent hours upon hours in the kitchen refining the new recipe, experimenting with ingredients and so on, but what would be the point? She already had a tried-and-tested recipe for choc chip cookies that everyone loves, chocoholic visitors knew exactly what they were getting… so, why change? Fortunately in the end she saw it that way too - the new recipe was ditched and the original one was back in the oven, much to everyone’s delight. So why am I talking about chocolate chip cookies? Well, because a similar scenario arose here at Nutanix not so long ago, but this time the subject wasn’t cookies, but APIs for storage access. Tasty.At Nutanix we’ve spent a lot of time and e

I have been recently exploring the solution around syncing the nutanix object storage with AWS s3 bucket and GCS bucket. I have gone through the object replication to move data from onprem to cloud  Move On-Prem Data to the Cloud with Ease | Tech Bytes | Nutanix University which is pretty straight forward and impressive. My usecase is if I update the content in AWS s3 bucket or GCS bucket will that be replicated on nutanix object storage as well? 

Hello,How can I check the recycle bin in Nutanix v5?I’m facing a space issue with the default container. When I delete a VM, the available space in the container doesn’t seem to change.Regarding the snapshot files, I have snapshots that I can’t delete located in the path /default-container-/.snapshot.

I have nutanix on premisesHave anyone configure nutanix objets as netbackup s3 repository for storing backups?Trying to configure and always fails withcredential validation failed. provide correct cloud account name and credential

Dears: Currently, I found a problem when using Prometheus to monitor Nutanix Objects according to https://prism IP:9440/oss/api/nutanix/metrics. This works fine for a long time.But when our AD team disable NTLM v1 in domain controller, problem happened, Prometheus could not work as before to get the data from API.Current Prometheus config is like below:- job_name: 'object_exporter_bucketname’   metrics_path: /oss/api/nutanix/metrics/[object store name]/[bucket name]  scheme: https   scrape_interval: 90s   static_configs:   - targets: ［https://Prism Central IP:9440］   tls_config:      insecure_skip_verify: true   basic_auth:      username: ［Prism Central service account］      password: ［Password of service account］  Anyone know if NTLM v1 is used during API authentication?

I need to adding new 5 Hard Disk Drive in existing 3 node including 1 clusterHW: NutanixHypervisor: AHV 

Hi team:We are doing POC for Nutanix Objects. So far function testing has no problems, but we have a question about backup: How to backup objects which is located Nutanix Objects? I don’t know if there are 3rd backup software supports to backup objects in Nutanix Objects. We now use IBM TSM and EMC Networker for on-premises backup for VMDK, file and DB. Thanks!

You may be aware of Objects Browser, the powerful yet easy to use browser-based s3 client that comes built into every Nutanix Objects deployment (if you have no idea what I’m talking about you can get a quick overview of it here). Well, this already extremely useful and popular feature of Objects has just become even more useful with the latest release of Objects (v4.3), which adds a special new capability known as Objects Visualizer. This feature lets you view and, in some cases, directly edit the contents of a stored object without explicitly having to download it to disk. This paves the way for more efficient workflows that can save you time and might make some of the software tooling on your desktop redundant. Pretty cool huh? Let's take a closer look...  Think about the many types of files organisations store in their S3-accessible buckets: videos, images, audio files, PDFs, configuration files, automation scripts… a wide variety of unstructured and semi-structured data.

Nutanix Objects is a modern, software-defined, scale-out object storage solution that excels in a number of use cases requiring S3-compatible storage. One such use case is big data, which really is more  an umbrella term encompassing everything from analytics to artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML). Typically big data workloads involve storing huge amounts of data, but at the same time they require high IOPS, low latency access to the data. For example, many analytics solutions support interactive queries, which must be responded to in a timely manner. With its blazing performance, features optimized for analytics workloads and application vendor validations in this space, Objects is a fantastic fit for the needs of big data - the ideal basis for your data lake.A white paper written recently by IDC discusses the role of modern object stores in the world of big data, and in particular Nutanix Objects. The paper shares interesting insights into the growing object storage

Dears:I have a POC plan to deploy Nutanix Objects on ESXi, on the Objects guide, it mentioned “The minimum supported version of NSX-T is 2.4.” I want to know if we do not use NSX-T, is it OK to deploy Objects?How to implement IPAM? Will Nutanix implement it by itself? Thanks!

Hi,We are looking to take an application which is currently running in AWS using S3 storage and deploy it on-prem on Nutanix.So I'm looking at Nutanix Objects, not because we need massive scale or throughput (a few TB and a few operations per sec), but simply so we get an S3 interface so don't need any application changes.However high availability is important, the service needs to stay up through VM crashes, node failures, upgrades etc.I can't seem to find any advice on sizing or much specifics about HA in the docs.Going through the create object store wizard, if I select 2 worker nodes I get only one load balancer which is presumably a single point of failure, when you get to 3 worker nodes you get 2 x LBs. So would I be correct that 3 x workers & 2 x LBs is the minimum HA setup? This wants a total of 104GB & 34 cores which feels massively excessive for a small deploy.Any advice is appreciated.Thanks,Tim 

L.s,First time here with a question  (there must be a first time)We want to create a environment with a Splunk/Nutanix combination. The storage for Splunk will be smartstore, so the warm storage is S3 compliant storage, something Nutanix can provide.The question comes from the fact that we will span Splunk acros two site’s. So each site will have a storage cluster and a compute cluster (multiple clusters because more then 3 hops).  Site A has a compute cluster and a storage cluster, site B has the same. The Storage cluster will be synced between eachother.Splunk validated architecture says to have a loadbalancer between the Splunk indexers and the S3 storage. So when the storage in Site B fails.. Site B can use Site A as storage. But also the loadbalancer sends the compute cluster to the nearest storage available.Does Nutanix has something for this loadbalancer question? Can two clusters be adressed  by one ip, ore is it indeed necessary to use a external loadbalancer?Thanks in advance

Hi Team,What if some random people run a feature like Nutanix Object without having a proper license for it, what they just have is only for AOS license.1. will they successfully use it in the cluster? ​​​​​​​2.will that Object feature be affected when the active AOS license expires?3.Nutanix license is perpetual right? so when it expires all features are still working except support from TAC but what about the features that runs illegally, will they be affected once active license that doesnt supports the feature they enabled expires? Thank you so much for clarification.

How do I fix the Object configuration when redeploying the PC。AOS 6.5.2. ahv20220304.342 object 3.6 mps controller  4.2.2The Object client can be accessed to Buckets. How do I restore the object configuration information on the newly deployed PC

I would like to ask a question: When we deploy object storage, the IPAM network segment should match the network segment of the cluster, such as the CVM. Is the host IP address in the same network segment?

In this video - which walks through setting up Objects for multi-tenancy/self service - you’ll see how s3 users in different departments, organizations, or domains can have a single Nutanix object store divided up between them for efficient and secure resource sharing. The video covers such features as multi directory integration for IAM, multi-FQDN, quotas, objects browser (self-service portal) and bucket tagging…. and in true software-defined fashion we're continuing to add features that make Objects ever more optimized for multi-tenancy.

Have anyone configure nutanix objets as netbackup s3 repository for storing backups?Trying to configure and always fails because of region.
