Nutanix Volumes allows administrators to provision a volume group with one or more volumes that can be attached to multiple VMs or physical servers via iSCSI. This enables the creation of a Microsoft Server Failover Cluster that uses shared storage for a critical application.The volume group can be attached to VMs running on an AHV-hosted cluster and bare metal servers for maximum resiliency1.

The error log that the administrator should review to determine why the relay service is down is Cerebro.ERROR. Cerebro is a service that runs on each FSVM and provides relay functionality for Data Lens. Relay service is responsible for collecting metadata and statistics from FSVMs and sending them to Data Lens via HTTPS. If Cerebro.ERROR log shows any errors or exceptions related to relay service, it can indicate that relay service is down or not functioning properly.Reference:Nutanix Files Administration Guide, page 23; Nutanix Data Lens User Guide

The administrator can achieve this request by deleting and recreating a new Objects store with the updated name. Objects is a feature that allows users to create and manage object storage clusters on a Nutanix cluster. Objects clusters can provide S3-compatible access to buckets and objects for various applications and users. Objects clusters can be created and configured in Prism Central. However, once an Objects cluster is created, its name cannot be changed or edited. Therefore, the only way to change the name of an Objects cluster is to delete the existing cluster and create a new cluster with the updated name.Reference:Nutanix Objects User Guide, page 9; Nutanix Objects Solution Guide, page 8

Nutanix Volumes is a feature that allows users to create and manage block storage devices (volume groups) on a Nutanix cluster. Volume groups can be accessed by external hosts using the iSCSI protocol. To secure volume groups from unauthorized access, Nutanix recommends configuring CHAP (Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol) for each volume group in Prism Element. CHAP is a security feature that authenticates iSCSI initiators and targets before allowing access to a volume group. CHAP requires both the initiator and the target to have a shared secret (a password) that is used to generate a challenge and a response during the authentication process. CHAP can prevent unauthorized access to volume groups and protect data from malicious attacks.Reference:Nutanix Volumes Administration Guide, page 25; Nutanix Volumes Security Guide

Self-Service Restore (SSR) is a feature that allows individual users to restore files and folders hosted in Files without requiring administrator intervention.SSR can be enabled on a per-share or per-export basis, and users can access the snapshots of their data through a web portal or a Windows client application1.
