Hey there @MrMike , surely there is way to achieve that via REST APIs too.

Here is how you can do that using v2 REST APIs https://www.nutanix.dev/reference/prism_element/v2/api/vms/post-vms-createvm/ 

and making a POST call to create a VM which has property “uefi_boot : true” set for the boot object.

"boot": { "uefi_boot": "true"}

More details on using REST APIs can be found here:https://www.nutanix.dev/api-reference/

Let me know if you need anything else.

Hey @MrMike , just following up, did you try the above and were you able to create UEFI VM?

Let me know if you need anything else or any clarifications on this.

@AnishWalia20 thanks for the quick reply. I have't had a chance to try it via the API yet because I am mostly working with powershell so I will need to wrap the request via an invoke-restmethod cmdlet.  Since it is defined I see no reason why it shouldn’t work thouth.  Thanks again for the pointer.  I tried ctrl+f finding uefi on the  api reference page but I guess I did not have everything expanded so I missed it.

Ahh, no worries @MrMike . I hope things are much clearer now. Let me know if you need help with anything else. 

Cheers!

 "boot": { "uefi_boot": "true"}

So are you saying that there is no way to do this with the powershell cmdlets? I just need a yes or no answer so I can move on to having to use the rest API for some of these functions.

Another question I'd like to answer to but I doubt I will get, has Nutanix abandoned making additional features and improvements to the powershell cmdlets? It certainly seems that way.
