Hey guys - have you ever seen a problem where Citrix MCS fails to create machines, when creating catalogs on AHV? Small batches work, but anything larger than creating 20+ machines seems to fails, or there are missing machines along the way. I’m just starting to research this for a customer. My initial thoughts were to update the AHV plugin on the Controllers. But curious if others have seen this, and if it’s a known issue with certain versions, or specific cluster configurations. Customer was using AHV plugin 2.7.1.0 at the time.

Anyone using Pure Storage with Nutanix AHV to deliver Citrix MCS desktops? We're floating the idea of moving away from HCI storage on NX3155 G9's. The local storage has been good to us, but management is convinced the future is to transition to a Pure Storage unit.

Is it true that Nutanix AHV does not support MCSIO. It's my first time creating an MCS image on Nutanix and the settings are not there when creating a Machine Catalog. I found a KB article with a vague statement (or maybe it's just how I read it), but just want to be sure I've not missed something. Cheers

we deleted about 80 or so persistent citrix mcs desktops a week and half ago in our environment and have not really seen our space improve more than maybe 1% (typically we would have seen a decent improvement w/ that amount of cleanup. we use snapshotting on the Central side where we take a nightly snapshot but only keep 2 so we should be well passed that point of purging i would have thought. is there anything that possibly could be stuck and didnt clear old data yet after this amount of time?

Is there any update on vtpm VMs being able to be used with PE protection domains or are PC protection policies the only method, and likely to be the only method?

has anybody seen any performance numbers comparing video/3d performance on desktops based on client resolution without nvidia gpus in the hosts? specifically looking at this from a Horizon standpoint, which i get is new to the platform, but coming from a world where we could increase vram on the gold image at the vsphere level i'm curious if anybody's had a chance to do some real world testing since it's a bit apples/oranges on how the two hypervisors handle virtual video...

Is anyone aware if this optimization has any bearing on a Windows VM running on Nutanix AHV? It seems like it might help a Hyper-V stack, but I'm not sure with virtual storage drivers if it even matters.

anybody know if there's a way to download the updated virtio iso (1.2.5) for CE? i keep trying searches but end up in a loop between the 2 year old ce 2.1 post and support portal wanting activation of actual hardware

I heard a rumour of a new CE release, does anyone know the timeframe on this?

Big news 🎉 We’re excited to share that Kasm Workspaces has formally aligned with Nutanix through the Nutanix-Ready validation for AHV and *NKP*— strengthening our position as a Kubernetes-native workspace control plane within the Nutanix ecosystem. This alliance allows us to: • Deliver secure, containerized workspaces on Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP) • Support Windows apps, secure browsers, and AI workloads • Align with Nutanix AI initiatives • Simplify enterprise access with Kubernetes-native orchestration This is a major step in positioning Kasm as the secure access layer for modern Nutanix environments. More updates coming as we head into .NEXT 🚀 https://kasm.com/alliance-partnership/nutanix

@Wayne Sack joined #nutanix-euc. They’re also new to World of EUC.

Our hardware team upgraded our Image source cluster recently and it blew away all of the protection domain schedules I had. I know it's just being lazy, but is there any way to recover them instead of having to manuallly rebuild them all?

cross posting in case anyone else has run into this, or more importantly if anyone knows if there's any official guidance around naming PC clusters vs. host clusters - so far I haven't found anything, nor have I really found anything in particular about what repercussions renaming a PC cluster itself may have on downstream tools - has anyone seen anything along those lines, other than the aesthetic (or is it rizz? i can't keep up)? Well, and obviously api scripts that try to return network information breaking.. :)

Am I reading this right? Nutanix NC2 nodes with GPUs are only available in AWS?

It's been a while since I've owned and managed the nutanix stuff - just been a 'user' of it, so I'm a bit out of the loop. If I have a cluster that has exceeded its resilient storage capacity and cannot tolerate a node loss - if someone attempts to perform a cluster upgrade, will the LCM pre-checks not prevent it from putting a host in maint. mode? It seems counter intuitive that the upgrade would allow it if cluster resiliency is not possible when putting a node into maint. mode to upgrade it

Hello, we have several customers running on Nutanix, unfortunately we installed with KVM image as the Nutanix image was not yet proposed by Citrix. We are planning to migrate to the Nutanix image but we are a bit concerned by the following on the documentation: Native OTP is unsupported on the Nutanix Image. Should we stay on the KVM image then despite Citrix asking to migrate to the Nutanix one?

Has there been a change in how Protection domain 'backups" function in AOS 7.3? Previously, if I needed to move a VM from one cluster to another, I'd simply create a backup protection domain, select the VM or VMs, take a snapshot and select the remote cluster. Once replication completed, I'd click Activate on the receiving cluster and the VMs would appear on the new cluster, all powered off. Now, I have a cluster that has AOS 7.3 on it, and that doesn't appear to work. With an ASYNC DR configured as backup, when I click Activate on the receiving cluster, it says it's active on the source, and I need to migrate. But migrate is disabled on the source cluster as it's not a disaster recovery PD, only backup. if I set it as disaster recovery, I can click Migrate, but this also requires the VM be powered off, or it powers off the VM (which is great for a DR scenario) but not for a VM move situation where I also need to do some citrix work. What changed?

Hello, On Citrix DaaS, we are currently looking into migrating our Prism Element connections to Prism Central. We have four sites (four resources location in Citrix DaaS), each with its own Prism Element. We have a single Prism Central with these four Prism Elements. In Hosting, we have the four connections for the four Prism Elements. When we want to create a new connection to Prism Central in Citrix DaaS, it asks us to select a zone from among the 4 resources location. What is the best practice? Should I create 4 new connections to the same Prism Central? One per zone?

Hi , do anyone know about a topic with NetScaler (New Linux Version) and Nutanix with High CPU topics. CPU Yield is activ...

This was a good test.

@Jarian Gibson @Kees Baggerman What's the story on https://portal.nutanix.com/kb/16940 ? I thought PC connector wasn't required till AOS 7.5+ and the AOS 7.3.x branch would continue to support pre-v4 API requests for the Nutanix AHV Plugin for Citrix for PE? Not true? Is AOS 7.0.x is the end of the line for CVAD-PE connection hosting? KB16940 indicates AOS 7.0.x is the end of the line, but, https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Release-Notes-AOS-v7_5_1_6:AOS-deprecated-features-aos-r.html suggested Q4-2026, which aligns with AOS 7.3.x going end of maintanence (Sept 2026), which aligns with my understanding that AOS 7.3.x is the last of the mohecians for Citrix PE plugin support.

has anyone running Horizon noticed that desktops will get stuck at 'customizing' on image push operations (say, 50+ desktops) and just stay there until the machines are manually turned on in Prism Central (at which point they come up fine) ?

If you're running Nutanix Kubernetes Platform, workspace delivery just got a lot simpler. Kasm Workspaces is now available directly from the NKP Catalog — meaning you can deploy browser-based desktops, apps, and secure development environments the same way you deploy any other Kubernetes-native workload. No custom Helm gymnastics, no bespoke infrastructure. This is what CNCF-aligned workspace delivery actually looks like in practice: — Deploy from catalog, lifecycle managed by NKP — Session isolation at the container layer — Zero-trust access policies enforced at the workspace level — DLP controls (clipboard, download, network isolation) baked in by default We wrote up the full step-by-step on Medium — everything from cluster prereqs through ingress config to your first live workspace session. If your team is modernizing VDI on Nutanix or looking for a Kubernetes-native alternative to traditional remote access stacks, this is worth a read. medium.kasm.com/installing-kasm-workspaces-on-nutanix-kubernetes-platform-a-step-by-step-guide… #KasmWorkspaces #NutanixKubernetesPlatform #NKP #CNCF #Kubernetes #ZeroTrust #VDI #CloudNative #DevSecOps

If you have any feedback on the VDI Sync feature in Nutanix Files, please let me know in this thread.

i have a super dumb question.. as I'm a nutanix noob.... I've got my first template building out now.. but is it really still required in 2025 to load up the virtio driver during install?? using SCSI disk

i've got a request to setup DARE (data at rest encryption) on a clients nutanix cluster.. how involved is this? how risky?

https://worldofeuc.slack.com/archives/CKLK4RYS2/p1787678840788719 Trying to configure VDI Sync today for a semi-new build and riding the struggle bus. We're waiting for the 10 minutes to lapse and a sync to occur, but running into all kinds of problems with either the Citrix UPM, redirected folders, or both being locked. We seem to have file lock or permission issues left and right.
