How It works

I’m trying to retrieve all VM and CVM using the following endpoint in PowerShell https://example.com:9440/api/nutanix/v3/vms/listI get all VM information back as requested but unfortunately I’m not getting any CVM and there is no information related to this in the offial API documentation.As far as I understand in version 1 you would get all vms and cvms using same endopint (vm/list)Is there something I’m missing to set up in order to get the controller vitrual machines ? {    "kind"  = "vm"      "length" =  50000    "offset" =  0}

How will a Redundancy Factor 2 All-Flash cluster with 4 nodes and all of running VMs get impacted when 3 disks get failure on the different nodes at the same time. Are those running VMs on the cluster still running and available to access when this happens? Will all of VMs be unavailable until failure disks get replaced? Will this impact to those VMs which VM data reside on the failure disks? or something else?

We are currently operating a Nutanix cluster with Cisco UCSC C240 M7 nodes. We are considering expanding this cluster by adding two Cisco B200 M5 servers as compute-only nodes. Before proceeding, we would like to confirm the following:1. Is it possible to install AHV on Cisco B200 M5 servers and integrate them as compute-only nodes into our existing Nutanix cluster?2. Are there any specific configurations or firmware requirements for the B200 M5 servers to ensure compatibility with Nutanix AHV?3. Can you provide any documentation or guidance on the best practices for this type of integration?Thank you
