Checking total vCPUs and how much vCPUs are being used

I am not sure how to check total of Vcpus and how much Vcpus are being used.[img]https://d1qy7qyune0vt1.cloudfront.net/nutanix-us/attachment/70044813-df21-42df-92b8-b5c58ea65928.jpg[/img][img]https://d1qy7qyune0vt1.cloudfront.net/nutanix-us/attachment/84e7a689-156c-48e9-b391-72341bbacf41.jpg[/img]

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 [url=https://nutanix.dev/]Nutanix.dev[/url], 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: [list] [*]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 [/list] 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 :point_right: [url=https://www.nutanix.dev/2019/09/06/automate-everything-nutanix-calm-api-docs-are-live/]Automate Everything: Nutanix Calm API Docs Are Live![/url] to learn mor

Nutanix API V2

Why am I not able to view API v2.0 in the "Rest explorer live" in the console? Also, why does I get an unauthorized error when I use v2 with basic_auth when v3 works fine with the same authentication?

How to list virtual server name that belongs to only to certain project?

How to list Prism Central servers that belongs only to certain project. For example list only those Vm's that belongs to project "default". "Powerstate" expression name is "powerstate" but what is corresponding name of "project" which I should use to call "project" name? This script is showing vmname and powerstate (runned against Prism Central): Get-NTNXVM | Select @{Expression={$_.vmname};Label=”VMName”},@{Expression={$_.[b]powerstate[/b]};Label=”PowerState”}

sort_attribute usage

I'm exploring the API and noticed that for listing operations (specifically the /vms/list operation) supports providing sorting parameters. I can't find any information on the proper values for the sort_attribute key in the request. Has anyone used this and can shed some light for me? 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? [list] [*]I saw the KB about updating the AOS and it says the CVMs will reboot, but other than that it should be seamless, correct? [/list] 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! [list] [*]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

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 > [url=https://github.com/nutanix/Cloud-Foundry-CPI-for-Nutanix-AHV]https://github.com/nutanix/Cloud-Foundry-CPI-for-Nutanix-AHV[/url] 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

Powershell Script of detailed Protection Domain configuration

I have lots of Protection Domains. I need to keep their schedules straight, prevent overlap, and report the schedules to management. I am not the only admin, so I cannot track the configuration manually. Is there a powershell cmdlet that presents this information? I cannot find it. I want to know the schedule and the replication information(sites and how many to retain). I'm not using protection policies, just old school PD. Thanks, Bill Beavis

Create managed network with PowerShell

Hi All I've rather large number of non-managed and managed networks to create on multiple clusters and really am not willing to be creating them manually. I've created PowerShell script to create non managed networks, that was pretty easy. However, I'm finding it a bit more challenging to create managed networks using PowerShell commandlets. I understand that the command should look something like New-NTNXNetwork -Name "vLAN_Name" -VlanId "vLAN_ID" -ipconfig "IpConfigDTO" I can not find any samples of IpConfigDTO format. I understand that IPv4 default gateway address and subnet in CIDR notation should be provided as values but I can't work it out how. Any assistance would be much appreciated. Cheers

Pulse: PE or PC?

Our CVMs are locked down tight, I have no intention of allowing any internet access to PE, all support actions must be done through a webex session where our admin grants control to the support tech. but I have PC set up for NAT so it can communicate outside our private network. my question is, will pulse work strictly through PC or does PE need to be set up for it? Everything i see documented is about PE talking to insights.nutanix.com.

Using Visual Studio Code with Nutanix Cmdlets

I am a huge VS Code user, all I do is run my scripts/codes for local/remote/cloud products within VS Code. So I am now trying to get it so I can compile and run Nutanix Cmdlets within VS Code. I am trying to find the neatest, safest and most maintainable way possible without putting at risk the core of PowerShell. I've only found one post where someone has mentioned doing this and it was by installing the Nutanix Cmdlets and copying the contents of the module's folder into "C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules". Maybe possible but there are over 200 items that would need copying into the root of this folder, seems messy to me. Can a sub folder called Nutanix be created for the contents to be copied too? Is there a better way to achieving what I feel be a great tool for all? Advice/support much appreciated :nerd:

Script for Last Logon of Windows 7 VM?

Hi, I'm relatively new to Nutanix, so I'm still learning the concepts and terms. But I was wondering if it was possible to develop a Powershell script, for the purpose of getting the last logon of Windows 7 workstations running as VM's in our environment. The script would run from a central location on our network, so it would have to access AHV and then somehow be able to grab the last logon time in the guest OS by the user who "owns" the workstation. We determine who owns the virtual workstation, by determining the sole user listed in the Remote Desktop group. We can do this, in VMWware for Windows 10 workstations; but I've been told that it's a little more tricky to develop such a script for Windows 7 running on Nutanix. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated, so that I could get a starting point. Thanks.

IF an admin resolves an alert but doesn't fix the condition, does the alert retrigger? and if yes, how long before it does? Thanks in advance.
