Hi bereket.s,

you might need to create a serial port for this VM:

acli vm.serial_port_create <VM_NAME> index=0 type=kServer

No, that is available only in the CLI. You will need to connect to one of the CVMs of the cluster as user ‘nutanix’ and run that command.

It is case sensitive. Should be “kServer” with capital S.
