Some days ago we informed our users and blog reader about our upcoming Nutanix Prism and Prism Central support. Good news, its available with our latest release patch 5.0.5, released end of February.

But that’s not all — we encounter plenty of situations out in the open, where ESXi hosts are not running with the correct time set. As Performance Analyzer uses time series data and time tagged performance metrics, we’re quite sensitive to time offsets. Therefore, we decided not just to resolve our issues, but also help admins to check the configured and used time in general, VMware vCenter and ESXi.

Last but not least we integrated a nice VMware vSAN memory calculation, that helps you to plan and check the physical memory usage to run vSAN storage.

Patch is only valid for Performance Analyzer 5.0.2, so please update to 5.0.2 first.

  • Nutanix Prism Element and Prism Central support
  • Oracle support for Container Databases and Plug-able Databases (needs also the new Oracle_v2-Patch, please contact Opvizor support)
