WORM Instance in Flex Appliance
Hi guys, We are about to deploy a Flex Appliance WORM instance, and we have some concerns regarding its usage : Do we still need a MediaServer instance when using the WORM instance? Is the WORM instance considered as WORM storage that still requires a MediaServer instance to write to it, or is it an all-in-one instance (MediaServer + WORM storage)? In summary, when creating the WORM instance, does NBU recognize it as a MediaServer or not? When working with WORM, is deduplication still utilized? Typically, we create MSDP volumes within MediaServer instances. Wondering if WORM uses also Dedup. Does enabling WORM impact the appliance's capacity consumption? Some other vendors claim that enabling WORM can double or even triple capacity usage when using Dedup with WORM, which raises concerns about its practicality in our case, because the capacity of our Flex system is already low, and if that's the case, we'll have to avoid using WORM. Thanks in advance for any feedback given. Regards.

Backup Host SSL issue in Flex Appliance
Hi Folks, We got a Flex Appliance in which we set up 1 Primary and 1 Media, as want to back up some Nutanix VMs through the Cluster. We decided to go with the MediaServer instance as our backup host. The issue is when trying to add the Nutanix Cluster through the NBU Web UI, below the displayed error : "Credential validation failed. Provide correct AHV credentials, ensure that the backup host has Linux/Windows OS, verify that the backup host can access the AHV cluster, or the external CA is configured correctly." After some troubleshooting, we found the "nb_nutanix-ahv.conf" in the Media instance with the parameter "enable_ssl_validations" which is enabled by default. When disabling it, the Cluster is added successfully. Enabling it back, the integration of the Cluster failed again. So, we confirmed that the issue is related to SSL certificate. We tried to set the SSL communication following the NBU documentation, but it did not work, maybe we missed something (Below doc link) : https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/doc/150073865-163074231-0/v147708883-163074231 Any idea how to fix this SSL issue with Nutanix ? Flex v 5.0 and NBU v 10.5. Regards.
