vasa certs - can they just be removed?
Can someone shed some light on this as it seems overly complex (or at least the docs weave an incorrect thread). Just trying to make sense of whether the VASA certs are or aren't needed for anything other than vVols. As we never got around to actually attempting vVols and they are deprecated anyhow going foward, can they be pruned from the appliances? This page which is referenced from the alerts they spam out way, way too early Alert 220 - VASA Certificates Expiration Alert seems to imply they can be removed, but steps 1-3 show renewing them on the linked page Resetting the VASA Certificates with purecert. thanksAsk Us Everything about Pure Storage + Nutanix

Proxmox VE
Hi all Hope you're all having a great day. We have several customers going down the Proxmox VE road. One of my colleagues was put onto https://github.com/kolesa-team/pve-purestorage-plugin as a possible solution (as using Pure behind Proxmox (using the native Proxmox release) is not a particularly Pure-like experience. Could someone from Pure comment on the plugin's validity/supportability?NVMe-TCP + VMware Design Questions
Q1: In a medium - large datacenter (ie anticipated growth to 500 hosts), would it be a problem to use large subnets (ie 2 x /23 or /22's) to place the initiators + target IPs? All our existing nvme-tcp deployments (which we're having great success with btw) use 2 x /24's, which provides more than enough capacity for the array + a decent sized cluster. But now we're entering into the realms of multiple flasharrays (ie 3 or 4 in a single site) and hundreds of hosts - we'll quickly exhaust a /24 range. Q2: In this site, where we have say 2 x FA-X's an 2 x FA-C's, is it valid to present datastores from all of these arrays over nvme-tcp to a single cluster? With each array / datastore cluster being accessed using the same initiators on the same layer 2's? At what point does it get silly and I need to draw a line and segregate environments? Q3: Is there a capacity limit to the number of client hosts I can have on an array / mapping storage to? (nvm - I think I found the answer to that - looks like it's 1000 nqn's on pretty much all X and C arrays)Pure Report Podcast: Nutanix and Pure Storage: Propelling Enterprise Virtualization Forward
Check out the latest edition of the Pure Report podcast where we unpack the GA announcement for the Nutanix and Pure Storage partnership. Hear from Cody_Hosterman​ and Nutanix VP Product Ketan Shah on the technical details of the integration and how this partnership came together.
Nutanix and Pure Storage are Changing Virtualization
Big news, virtualization fans! The combined Nutanix + Pure Storage solution is now available. You can read all about it in the blog and get further details on our Nutanix partner page. We’ve been talking to lots of folks about this offering, both Pure users and not, and the consensus is that people are glad to see some new stability being brought to the virtualization world, with a solution from two customer-centric organizations. To give you a sense of the value of using external storage with FlashArray, an early adopter (I’m not at liberty to name them) running a nearly 2 PB database workload will save about 50% on rack space with significant savings on power, cooling and operational costs. Please contact your Pure sales team if you want to learn more about this solution.Join us for Nutanix IT Unplugged with Isaac Slade
Our friends at Nutanix are sponsering a fun virtual event on Dec. 5 for IT Unplugged featuring a live performance by Isaac Slade, formerly of The Fray. You'll hear from both Nutanix and Pure about our new joint solution, along with some musical fun.

Any movement on Active Cluster with NVMe /TCP?
The last update I can find is from 2 years ago was a "maybe 2025" post. Nothing in the AC FAQ that I can find. Is this going to happen or should we just explore other conectivity options at this point? Servers are UCS with internal FC switching for now, we would like to configure uniform access. Pretty sure VMware isn't going to officially support multiple connection types for the same LUN/device/volume, unless someone knows something different.
