Before installing or upgrading Files, Life Cycle Manager (LCM) must check the compatibility versions of Nutanix Cluster Check (NCC) and Acropolis Operating System (AOS). NCC is a framework of scripts that helps diagnose cluster health, and AOS is the core operating system that runs on each node in a Nutanix cluster. LCM will not proceed with the installation or upgrade if NCC or AOS versions are incompatible with Files. Reference: Nutanix Files Administration Guide, Nutanix Cluster Check Guide

File Analytics is a feature that provides insights into the data stored in Files, such as file types, sizes, owners, permissions, and access patterns. File Analytics also provides security against ransomware attacks by scanning files for ransomware in real time and providing notification in the event of a ransomware attack. File Analytics can detect ransomware based on file extensions, file signatures, or third-party solutions2. Reference: Nutanix File Analytics Administration Guide2

The correct task order for creating an object store is:

Select ObjectStore Service and click Enable

Click Create Object Store to start creating the first Object store

Click Download Creation Checklist to download the list of prerequisites for deploying an Object store The first step is to enable the ObjectStore Service, which is a service that allows users to create and manage object storage clusters on a Nutanix cluster. The second step is to create an Object store, which is an object storage cluster that provides S3-compatible access to buckets and objects for various applications and users. The third step is to download the Creation Checklist, which is a document that lists the prerequisites and configurations that are required for deploying an Object store, such as cluster details, network details, storage details, etc. The administrator should review and complete the Creation Checklist before proceeding with the deployment of the Object store.

Nutanix Objects requires a Data Services IP to be configured on the Prism Infrastructure (PI) cluster, which is used to expose the S3 API endpoint for accessing buckets and objects. Nutanix Objects also requires AHV IP Address Management (IPAM) to be disabled on the VLAN used for Objects, as Objects uses its own DHCP service to assign IP addresses to the Objects VMs1. Reference: Nutanix Objects Administration Guide1

Nutanix Objects supports directory services integration, which allows administrators to configure access keys based on directory and email-based users. This enables granular access control and security for buckets and objects. The administrator can configure directory services under the Access Keys section in Prism Central, and then generate access keys for internal users from the directory service and for the consultant from an email address2.

Data Lens is a feature that provides insights into the data stored in Files across multiple sites, including different geographical locations. Data Lens allows administrators to monitor usage, performance, capacity, and growth trends for all Files deployments globally. Data Lens also provides reports on file types, sizes, owners, permissions, and access patterns3. Reference: Nutanix Data Lens Administration Guide3

The Minerva_cvm.log file contains information about the Minerva service, which is responsible for managing the FSVMs and their communication with Prism Central. The Minerva_cvm.log file can be used to troubleshoot issues related to Nutanix Files, such as duplicate IP address detection. The log file can be found in /home/nutanix/data/logs/minerva on any CVM in the cluster. Reference: Nutanix Support Portal - Troubleshooting Nutanix Files

One of the possible causes of a failed pre-upgrade check for Files is network connectivity issues between the FSVMs. The administrator should verify that there are no firewall rules or network policies that block the communication between the FSVMs on ports 22 (SSH), 9440 (HTTPS), and 2009 (RPC). The administrator can use tools such as ping, traceroute, and telnet to test the connectivity between the FSVMs. Reference: Nutanix Support Portal - Troubleshooting Nutanix Files Upgrade Issues
