    Nutanix AHV to ESXi conversion

    Change of hypervisor is a major change for IT organisations. Conversion of virtual machines can be automated, but in some cases, the job has to be done manually, sometimes resulting in major downtime. A migration from Nutanix AHV to VMware ESXi is such a migration. Sometime backup tooling like Veeam can help, but downtime is…

    Hycu Data Protection Platform

    Part 1: Deployment of Hycu Backup Controller In the early days of Nutanix AHV, Hycu came on the market as a product especially designed for the new hypervisor of Nutanix.

    PC: When to use a cluster VIP?

    A cluster VIP for a Nutanix cluster is very helpful to always have the same IP address to reach a Nutanix cluster, even when 1 node has failed or is in maintenance. This same principle is useful when you have deployed a scale-out Prism Central Instance. Why should you bother about a cluster VIP with…

    AHV – Follow the upgrade

    AS most of you know, the upgrade proces with Nutanix is almost one-click. It is very easy to start, but you have to wait quite some time to see it finished. Every now and then the wait takes too long, and you get a little impatient. I had that today, so I decided to check…

    Nutanix – Destroy cluster using Prism Central

    Cluster destroy is not one of the most executed actions within a Nutanix environment. However, it is the most destructive one. After a hardware refresh, or just an ending support contract, it is necessary to destroy the cluster. Unregistering a cluster from PC using the command line is not a supported method, as the cluster…

    Nutanix: new features in AOS 7.3

    Releases are coming on a regular basis, so a new release is not a big deal. Over time, you talk to Nutanix about new enhancements in the software. The standard answer is, it is on the roadmap, and maybe it is in the next release. Well, today was a big surprise. While reading the release…
