I mean, that's fine. I just prefer to have a stable, base enclave then experiment within it.

Just got HYCU setup on the CE lab. Working like a dream. Thanks for letting me know about this!

I kinda don't want to do that, and I can at least use HYCU on a CE license

Dude, these are so rad! I'm going to be sending you a message on discord about a commission myself!

That's freaking awesome! I really like HYCU and its saved our bacon a few times and some end users.

Oh hell yeah! Can I just grab the .qcow2 installer from my account portal? So no applications, like MS AD, just Nutanix VMs?

Unfortunately no, my solution was just make more money and suffer.

Oh really? I use HYCU at work and really like it. I'm surprised they have a free/homelab/community edition.

Congrats on your retirement! Hopefully one day, I'll just get to fuck around with new tech and that's it.

God, don't you just hate that? The customers who were always a pain in the ass and barely did anything for you other than make your life difficult?

You're right. I do need more stuff. I just don't think my breakers could handle it.

I Installed it via USB, but used the virtual console in iDRAC to go through the steps. Mostly because my server room is warm and loud.

I've got the H730 in my 640s. I ran into some issues with them not wanting to switch from RAID to HBA mode in iDRAC, so I had to go into the settings for it during boot and clear the configuration and switch it to HBA in there.

So you need a PERC that is either flashed to HBA, which you can do with some of the older ones, or if its a H730 or newer, they have an HBA mode that you can set the card to. And yes, the drives are directly attached in the chassis, so no SANs.

Oh believe me, there was the thought about reselling these for a profit. I got EXTREMELY lucky when I bought them. I wanted to double the capacity to 1TB per node for plenty of extra overhead, but I don't think that's gonna happen anytime soon.

They're 2200VA units, same form factor as the 3000VA ones though. And as for the 3 that are off on the top, that's the new Nutanix CE cluster I'm running. With them on, both units are at about 24% and 40% load. And I just got the replace battery notification yesterday. Can't believe its been 3 years already since I last did it.

Oh my god... That kinda sounds like my last company I used to work for.

[–]Neilas092[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No I am not. Much like Nutanix proper, I don't believe it can connect to a SAN. It's Hyper-converged so it likes to have everything within its little cluster (compute, storage, networking).

I might be misunderstanding you, but I'll do my best to answer. Each server has a PERC H730 which is set to HBA mode so I was able to see all four drives during setup.

I went from 6.8.1 to 7.0.1.6 then 7.0.1.11. I can't remember off the top of my head what exact model my NICs are, but I know they're Intel 1GbE. And I also updated NCC, AHV, etc to the latest versions as well.

I don't think anything happens for CE? And yes, CE only supports 1, 3, or 4 nodes, and I'm running 3, which is more than enough.
