5 Essential Tips for Maximizing Your Experience at Nutanix .NEXT for Bloggers
Same issue here. Acropolis 5.0.0.2. Just updated to a signed cert and receive the "Oops. Server error" message too.
Let me give it a few more goes and I'll follow up and give some more detail on the thoughts around scripting it. We do have ServiceNow but it's not being used for user services in the IT spaces just yet, so haven't delved into integration there yet. SSP is something I want to make availalble to this subset of users, so if I can either allow clone or the Image to be stored/easy way of setting UEFI at VM creation without sharing CVM credentials then Im set.
The process of mounting the vhd/vhdx files from these Hyper-V images did the trick. Using DISM to insert the VirtIO drivers, then uploading to the Acropolis image services I was able to make quick use of these builds!
Windows 10. UEFI is going to be the default on our physical devices and our imaging toolset. The EUC team is looking to have that be the standard. Part of it is for testing to ensure imaging functions as well as other tools for supporting rollout via DHCP policies. Good thing I've found out since posting this is that with systems that Citrix Xendesktop MCS spins up UEFI is enabled, so no issues there. But creating a clone of a system that had UEFI enabled via the Prism GUI doesn't do that, its interesting. Need to review the api/powershell for requesting/building a new VM so it sets it to UEFI so that other engineers don't need to manually ssh into a CVM to run the acli command...
I'm thinking about trying to leverage offline VHD management to install the VirtIO drivers, so download the Hyper-V Developers Image, and follow this process: [url=https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/commercialize/manufacture/desktop/add-and-remove-drivers-to-an-offline-windows-image]https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/commercialize/manufacture/desktop/add-and-remove-drivers-to-an-offline-windows-image[/url] Not something I've tried previously, but I'd assume it can get the job done! I got a response back from Microsoft Windows Dev twitter stating to make a request through their UserVoice channel to have a prepackaged KVM image. I'll post back if I get a chance to try this out. Idea here being not having to spin up the OVA/OVF on another platform prior to uploading to Prism Image Management.
