## Nutanix Command List

This is a list of Nutanix commands I have found useful. It’s here as a reference and if I need a command more than a few times I’ll generally add it here.

#### CLI

  * ncli cluster get-domain-fault-tolerance-status type=node (Checks if all of the storage components meet the desired replication factor)
  * cvm_shutdown -P now ( Correct way to shutdown a CVM)
  * ncc health_checks run_all –parallel=4 . ( 4 is the max number)
  * curator_cli get_under_replication_info summary=true Checks if any objects are not at the desired replication factor
  * curl localhost:2019/prism/leader . Find the leader

#### WEB

  * http://{curator-master-cvm-ip}:2010/master/control ( If you want to invoke a curator scan manually)
