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!

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.
