It would be rather easy to import the snapshot sizes of the local cluster & DR cluster along with the VM to PD association to make the sizing process a bit more well rounded for any configuration. It seems that hourly snapshots have ‘new’ requirements with respect to ‘dense nodes’ that 4 SSDs. This is critical information, specially since SSD capacities involves licensing.Unfortunately this (new) info is not uniformly mentioned in all the various docs: https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Leap-Xi-Leap-Admin-Guide-v5_20:ecd-ecdr-procedure-asynchronous-protectionpolicy-pc-c.htmlhttps://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/solutions/details?targetId=TN-2027-Data-Protection-and-Disaster-Recovery:TN-2027-Data-Protection-and-Disaster-Recovery The information seems to be 0 0 1 day ago A Ange Adventurer Sizer Configuration Estimator 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 1 1 1 day ago laura_jordana Nutanix Employee Community Blog Set Up An Approval Workflow in Test DriveBLOG The Nutanix X-Play™ tool is a simple low-code/no-code automation feature built into the Nutanix Prism® management controller that helps you automate routine operations and tasks, and provides the ability to auto-remediate issues that may occur.Using the X-Play tool, you can define a set of actions or a series of actions (called a “playbook”) based on a trigger, such as an event, alert, or an incoming webhook. For example, you can set up a playbook so when an alert about a VM’s memory being constrained is detected, the playbook can automatically add a specified amount of memory to the VM.But what if you didn’t want this to automatically happen, but rather you wanted to route through an approval workflow so that an admin would have to approve the change before the memory was added? In this video, we give you a walkthrough how to set up an integrated automation process with ServiceNow describing exactly this.With the latest Test Drive update, you can set up a similar flow using our demo t 0 38 0 1 day ago D Didi7 Trailblazer Installation & Configuration Application consistent VM snapshots in Windows Client VMs not possible ... Hello everybody, I noticed that application consistent VM snapshots of e.g. Windows 10 Pro VMs with NGT enabled and installed in the VM and verified with ‘ncli ngt list’ doesn’t work and results in the following alert… VSS snapshot is not supported for the VM 'TEST-VM', because VSS software is not installed. and … VSS is enabled but VSS software or pre_freeze/post_thaw scripts are not installed on the guest VM(s) TEST-VM protected by TEST-VM. Using a Windows Server 2016 VM with the respective Protection Domain generates application consistent Nutanix VM snapshots. With Windows 10 VMs it won’t work. Verified in 2 different Nutanix clusters. Clusters are equipped with AOS 5.15.4 LTS version. Nowhere I could find a hint, that Windows 10 VMs are not supported. Regards,Didi7 0 5 D 1 day ago M Mohammed111 Nutanix Employee Nutanix Files Renaming a top level directory (TLD) on a distributed file share might fail with error “invalid device” A distributed share spreads the workload by distributing the hosting of top-level directories across FSVMs. The issue is due to the fact that Nutanix Files uses DFS namespace to provide shares to the Windows clients, meaning that the client will be connecting to the generic DFS namespace and not, in particular, the FSVM which serves the share that is which holds the VG for the share. So if the client connects to an FSVM where it just holds the re-parse point within the DFS namespace the rename operation will fail with an error of "Invalid device". The workaround is to make sure that you connect to the FSVM serving the top level domain (TLD). Please refer to the following KB article for the detailed process to connect to the FSVM serving the TLD. Once connected to the serving FSVM the rename operation can be performed successfully. https://portal.nutanix.com/kb/000004187 0 4 A 1 day ago Karlie Beil Community Manager Education Blog Kick Start the New Year with Free Certification Exams!BLOG Get a FREE certification exam when you complete a training course now through January 31, 2022.
