API update VM categorie. "Cannot clear previously set time zone"

Hi, I want to set a VM to a categorie, using the REST API. However I Get the message INVALID_REQUEST code:"Cannot clear previously set time zone Don't know what to do with this. Please note that I had to add the "power_state", because if I don't I get an INVALID_REQUEST code: "VM power state must be specified for Update operation." Which I dont understand, as API documentation said power_state is optional. Endpoint used: PUT /vms/{uuid} Body: code:{ "spec": { "name": "BACHELOR2018", "resources": { "power_state": "ON" } }, "api_version": "3.1", "metadata": { "kind": "vm", "spec_version": 3, "categories": { "SLA": "A3" } }} Response body: code:{ "api_version": "3.1", "code": 422, "message_list": [ { "message": "Cannot clear previously set time zone", "reason": "INVALID_REQUEST" } ], "state": "ERROR"}

How to Run Execuatble Script from Desktop

Hi. I am fairly new to scripting especially with Nutanix. I can do Powershell scripting just fine but making the conversion to shell scripts has my brain in a knot. I have some acli commands to create a new vm, create a new Disk and a new NIC but I was unsure how to run them as an executable from my Windows desktop. Our cluster is Nutanix AHV. So I run this from a command line to open putty and connect. It works fine without the script. putty.exe -ssh admin@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -pw ****** -m "C:\newVM.sh" The script is: acli; #creates a clone of Server2016 #vm.clone aTest clone_from_vm="Server2016RefImage" memory=8G num_cores_per_vcpu=2 num_vcpus=2; #creates a D drive # vm.disk_create aTest bus=scsi create_size=200G index=1 container="Container-1"; #Add a NIC #vm.nic_create aTest connected=true network="Vlan6"; Each line will run fine if I run it in putty but I am not sure if I am stringing the commands together correctly. If I try to execute the script it opens the putty session the

Nutanix Calm APIs

We are happy to finally say the Nutanix Calm API is live! This includes the release of the Nutanix Calm API documentation on Nutanix.dev, our Developer Portal. The possibilities that are now available along with this announcement are huge for us. It means we can do things like the following in code: Integrate the control of Calm blueprints into external scripts or applications Use conditionals to control when a blueprint gets launched Use conditionals to control which blueprint gets launched Run applications actions on demand by calling the appropriate API It’s also true that, while APIs as an overall “thing” are definitely nothing new, the ability to automate the automation platform is a critical step in controlling infrastructure. Check out the blog 👉 Automate Everything: Nutanix Calm API Docs Are Live! to learn more

How to get VM to Storage Container relation using REST APIs?

Dear Friends, I am trying to find out VMs to Storage Container relations using Nutanix REST APIs but not able to get. I have tried both V2.0 and V3 APIs. In 'vms/list' v3 API, we do get "disk_list" for each VM but I do not see these vDisks in 'vdisk' or virtual_disks APIs (v2). Also there is no reference to Storage_Containers in 'vms/list' output so it is difficult for me to find the correlation. Please help.

Hyper-V Quorum

Hi, I am just wondering if you could answer whether Hyper-V clusters should have a quorum disk for the failover-cluster. I cannot find anything with a definitive answer on this - the documentation does not mention it in any way. If it is required or suggested, what is the best way to implement this? Many thanks

Attempting to upload AOS binary/json always results in "Server Error"

Hi all, We are attempting to update our AOS offline (all of our clusters do not have internet access) and we have tried uploading via IE, FF and Chrome to no avail. IE "uploads forever" and Chrome and Firefox say "Server Error" everytime. We are way past due for an AOS update (5.1.0.3) and we are trying to get this done! I have a few other side questions as well -- Is the AOS upgrade process non-disruptive? I saw the KB about updating the AOS and it says the CVMs will reboot, but other than that it should be seamless, correct? We need to update our hypervisor (ESXi 5.5 Patch 10) and need some input there as well if possible here, since we are on a Nutanix node config and posting here seems like the right place. If not, please let me know! We are running a NX-1065-G4 ESXi 5.5 Patch 10 vCenter 6.0 AOS 5.1.0.3 NCC 3.1.3 Foundation 3.7.2 BIOS 2141203 BMC 01.92 LCM 1.0.e1416e5 HBA MPTFW-10.00.07.00-IT Any input on the order of operations

Get Only AHV VMs

Using PowerShell and AOS 5.11 connecting to Prism Central of mixed hypervisor environment (VMware and AHV), is there a quick way to return just the AHV VM's? I see there are some search string, filter criteria, etc.. options for Get-NTNXVM Right now, there are 1600 VMs and the ones I am looking for are AHV. I can retrieve the whole list from Prism Central but I wondered if I could have it only send a filtered list. $VMList = Get-NTNXVM | Where { $_.acropolisVm -eq "True" } but that reads all 1600 VMs from Prism Central... Thanks!

CloudFoundry on Nutanix

Good day I have a requirement to POC CloudFoundry platform(cf push). I have tried project-eirini running on Karbon k8s cluster, it works, kind of, BUT it is still on alpha . So it can't use it on Production. I researched a bit further to see if PCF(Pivotal CloudFoundy) can be installed on Nutanix and found there is no support for vanilla PCF on Nutanix. And the journey led me to this > https://github.com/nutanix/Cloud-Foundry-CPI-for-Nutanix-AHV Creating a CPI for CF on Nutanix. I need to know if this is worthy before I can invest time implementing. Has anyone implemented it? Is it production ready? (seeing it is part of nutanix GH repo) Thanks in advanced
