How To enable nested virtualization on AHV with CE 2.1

We attempted the following approaches to enable nested virtualization, but it still did not work.Approach 1:a. Created the VM and enabled cpu_passthrough=true before powering it on.Observation: We were able to log in to Windows.b. Enabled the Hyper-V feature inside the VM and restarted.Observation: The system failed to log in and entered Recovery mode.Approach 2:a. Created the VM and enabled hardware_virtualization=true before powering it on.Observation: We were able to log in to Windows.b. Enabled the Hyper-V feature inside the VM and restarted.Observation: We could log in, but the nested virtualization feature was disabled.Please advise on how to enable nested virtualization in CE 2.1

Need NX-1175s-G7 SSD, HDD and memory make and model numbers please

I am a newbie to Nutanix and after successfully installing CE 2.1 on generic PCs and would like to go beyond CE and want to get into the commercial product just to get acquainted in my home lab. Bought an used NX-1175s-G7 with only the original 240GB NVME stick on the motherboard but no SSDs and HDDs and memory. Installed on hand 64GB memory and tried with some drives but the installation is failing always at this point. If someone has the exact model, I appreciate if you give me the above requested make and model part numbers. There are the last few lines of the installer.

Community Edition is a diva... or I am too stupid.

This is now CE installation trial #5 or 6 or so. Now this time I went with the official publication and ended up with a PE that doesn’t give me an option to install PC - not even showing AHV Trying to install CE as a VM unter ESXi 7.0.u2 According to the manual I gave the H volume a drive on SSD (with 700GB as the prior trials to install PC always came up with a not enough resource error), for C of NVME 800GB and for D 2TB on the same NVMe After primary deployment I went on with the cluster generation via SSH. End this time ending up with that. The quality of that CE doesn’t really flash me.

How to filter storage containers in Prism Element V2 API?

I am trying to list storage containers using prism element V2 API.I want to fetch only required attributes in the response. How can use filter_criteria, search_string and search_attribute_list effectively. Let’s say I want list containers having UUID’s (2 or more). i am not finding details on how to use these. Please share doc link if any.

Self-Service Post-Deployment Task

Hi everyone,I am creating a Multi VM Blueprint and I have a post-creation task. This task should be executed once per deployment, but since it is a post-VM-creation task, it is executed n times for n deployed machines from the blueprint.Do you have any ideas how to make the the task execute only once after the deployment of the application, and not multiple times for every VM?Thanks in advance!

Move Application Migration

AD domain controller migration by Move

Hi all Nutanix experts, we're scheduled to migrate our infrastructure from VMware to Nutanix in two weeks. We're going to set up two Nutanix clusters (Production and DR) with full replication.We use a virtual Windows Server 2022 as our current domain controller. We also have a backup domain controller (virtual server). According to some of the Nutanix documentation, migrating the domain controller using Move could cause issues. Has any of you had a similar situation? If I don't want to set up a domain controller on a physical server, what's the solution for this issue?
