Nutanix Prism Element to Prism Central

Question

Hi All,

we need to use vsa snapshots with vTPM aktive. Support told us that from SP42 and later its supported.

Our pain actually is that we need to change from Elemnts to central. If you create an new pseude client the question comes up directly

But what is with old clients. Is there any migration path maybe via workflow ? We have a lot of pseudocleints wich are using the Prism Element with a lot of subclients.

Now we have to create a lot of new clients in the background with alot of new firewall rules etc. maybe you have an idear ?

What happend when wie change the IP adress in the pseudoclient object ?

Hi SSchmidt,As far as I can see internally there is no direct migration for existing AHV clients to move to Prism Central. You could contact your account manager to ask about seeing if a migration workflow can be created.Typically, even though a new Hypervisor has been created, the VM-centric clients for each VM should be recognised as the same system. This means that the backup history will remain at a VM level. After deploying a Prism Central you should see new backups for existing VMs associate to the correct VM client in Command Center.With Prism Central you shouldn’t need create new firewall rules or anything as existing AHV infrastructure can be used to communicate with Prism Central.If you change the IP address in your existing pseudoclients, this will likely just break communication as Prism Central requests aren’t the same as individual cluster ones and Commvault will assume that is a cluster IP rather than a Prism Central one.Hopefully this helps to clear things up.
