If one power supply is disconnected from a NX-3235-G9 chassis, the behavior observed will be:

• The hardware status updates to reflect the change in Prism Element, the hosts continues to run, and the Host hardware power status alert is sent: Modern Nutanix hardware like the NX-3235-G9 is designed with redundant power supplies to ensure that the loss of one does not impact the overall operation of the cluster. Prism Element updates the hardware status to notify administrators of the power supply issue, but there is no impact on running workloads.

Given the reported RX errors on eth2 and the intermittent ping loss as observed from the CVM logs, the best initial troubleshooting step that avoids VM disruption is to inspect the switch port for errors. Option C, "Check the port on the switch side for any errors," is the most direct and non-invasive approach to determining if the issue lies with the network infrastructure rather than the server hardware itself or the configuration.

This action helps identify whether the problem is related to the physical connection (e.g., port issues, switch configuration errors) without altering the current active network setup on the Nutanix node. If errors are found on the switch port, adjustments or repairs can be made accordingly, potentially resolving the RX errors without impacting the running VMs.

When VMs on the same node can communicate but fail to connect to other parts of the network following changes made to Top of Rack switches, the issue often stems from a VLAN configuration error on the switches. VMs on the same node communicating successfully indicates that the local switch configuration is intact, but inability to reach external network segments points to an incorrect VLAN setup on the broader network, likely introduced during the recent changes to the Top of Rack switches.References: Nutanix Networking Guide, Troubleshooting Network Connectivity in Nutanix.
