Tried the commands. It says Domain is already active.

[root@NTNX-f6586b9f-A ~]# virsh list –all
Id Name State
—————————————————-
3 NTNX-f6586b9f-A-CVM running

[root@NTNX-f6586b9f-A ~]# virsh start NTNX-f6586b9f-A-CVM
error: Domain is already active

Still unable to login to the GUI and getting the same error message “Server is not reachable”

Thank you Jorgeuk, I have tried rebooting the nodes as well as rebooting the CVM. Also currently all the CVMs in my three node cluster are up but still I am unable to login to the Prism web GUI of the nodes.

Please find the output below:

[root@NTNX-f6586b9f-A ~]# virsh list –all
Id Name State
—————————————————-
3 NTNX-f6586b9f-A-CVM running

[root@NTNX-f6586b9f-A ~]# virsh start NTNX-f6586b9f-A-CVM
error: Domain is already active

Appreciate your help.

In reply to NXDeveloper Abe. Hello, Yes of course, it is not booting your CVM, it happens on my side, I always need to do the next:

virsh list --all | grep
virsh start CVM_name

Let me know

Hi Jorgeuk,

The installation went smooth for a 3 node cluster, but I built it on ESXi 6.7 Build 3. No issues. But a weird problem is happening to me. When I power recycle or shutdown the nodes and power them on, I am unable to login to the Prism GUI of the nodes and getting ‘Server is not reachable’ response. I have waited for several minutes to ensure all the services of the Nuntanix are fully up and operational, they are when I checked, but still I am unable to login to the nodes from GUI. Any suggestions? Appreciate your help and contribution to the community greatly!

In reply to Dominick.

Hello Dominick,
Have you put the virtual switch where that VM is on promiscuous mode?

Best regards

Tx for putting this together – setup went smooth…mostly. I am having an odd issue similar to Pablo’s . I can ssh to the hypervisor, but not the CVM (same subnet) from my desktop. From the AHV console I can ssh to the CVM via the internal network – the cluster is up, and networking looks normal, the CVM outside interface thinks it is up. From the CVM I cannot ping anything other than its own IP on the base VLAN. On the VMware host, I enabled ssh client on the firewall and can now ssh to the CVM from the hypervisor by the CVM outside IP – but still cannot hit the CMV from my desktop. It feels like either an AHV issue, or the VMware host blocking something (VMware v7 U3). Curious if you had any thoughts – thank again.

Thanks Jorge.

Problem solved. The gap was NSX-T related. As mentioned, the nested env is on VMware (VCF). After checking the segment fw polices I noticed there was a gap.

After changing the rule, it worked.
Thank you so much for your support and time!!
