Nutanix Era Issues
Nutanix Era version 1.1.0 has some following known issue during installation
VMware Esxi
- If you assign a static IP address to the Nutanix Era VM running on an ESXi cluster, Prism Element first assigns an IP address to the Nutanix Era VM by using DHCP. Wait for 1 or 2 minutes and refresh the Prism Element page to verify if Nutanix Era assigns the static IP address to the VM.
- After the upgrade to a new version of Nutanix Era is complete, wait for 10 to 15 seconds and then refresh the page to load the latest user interface.
- Before you register an Oracle database running on ESXi, you must set disk.EnableUUID to True by using vCenter Server. This step identifies the virtual disk of the Oracle database server VM on the ESXi host.
Note: To perform this setting, you must first turn off the database serverVM.
- When registering a source database with Era, if the database server hosting the database runs the listener on a non-default port (other than 1521) and is registered as part of the same operation, Era incorrectly reports the listener port as 1521 after the registration. Any clone created for this database will also have the listener running on port 1521.
- If you want to perform a refresh operation, the database clone that you want to refresh must not be in use in SQL Server Management Studio.
