Powershell v2 create UEFI VM

Hello, I am trying to create a vm that will use UEFI and Secure boot with the new powershell cmdlets. With the version 1 cmdlets this was not possible. Does anyone know if this is possible with V2 or are we still required to use the API along with the powershell cmdlets?

PowerShell Cmdlets and New Prism Central pc.2023.1.0.1

I find that I am stuck between a rock and a hard place all of a sudden. I have been using the original Nutanix PowerShell cmdlets (Add-PSSnapin NutanixCmdletsPSSnapin) for weekly inventory scripts.  I also have a script for deploying new VMs from images that use these cmdlets. Our production Prism Central is pc.2022.6.0.3 and I can still login to that just fine (Connect-NTNXCluster).  However, we are having numerous issues with that build and support has advised they have been resolved in the newest build pc.2023.1.0.1. We have a test Prism Central instance with one test AHV cluster.  Yesterday we updated that to pc.2023.1.0.1 and now I cannot connect with the cmdlets. Scripts> Connect-NTNXCluster -Server $PCentral -Username $MyCreds.Username -Password $MyCreds.Password -AcceptInvalidSSLCerts -ForcedConnectionConnect-NTNXCluster : Invalid JSON primitive: Authentication.At line:1 char:1+ Connect-NTNXCluster -Server $PCentral -Username $MyCreds.Username -Pa ...+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

mutual authentication webhooks

I’m trying to secure webhook communication. I’m using PRISM Element. My callback server uses https and has a web-server certificate installed issued by a local CA. First question is, which CA certificate will PRISM use to validate the callback server certificate? Is it the same CA certificate used for the PRISM web server? Second question, how does the callback server verify that the webhook effectively originated from PRISM? Is this mutual TLS or is there another method? If mutual authentication, what certificate does PRISM use for this?

How To Use Grouping in Your Reports

Elevate Your Reports With GroupingWith Nutanix Cloud Manager you can create your own custom reports with either custom or pre-defined views. (To learn more about reporting basics, check out this video)In the video below, I show how you can use the grouping functionality to group all your views by a specific entity using the custom group view. After watching the video, keep reading to learn more about different ways to use grouping!There are two ways to group entities: Custom Group View Group Data within a Custom View You can use the custom group view either by selecting all the existing views and clicking on Create Group, or adding a group using the custom Group view and adding views to that group.There is also the ability to group data within a custom view itself. For example, if you wanted to create a line chart to display VM memory usage, you can group by cluster within this view under Advanced Settings.So what’s the difference?When grouping data within a view, you will see a sepa

Prism Central Deplotment failure

Hello all! I hope everyone has had a wonderful start to the new year and a wonderful holiday season as well. I am running into the following error (shown in reply) when trying to deploy a new prism central instance I have tried to google around and also looking at various support topics and forums, but I have had no luck finding anything relating to what causes this. I have renewed the SSL certificate in the settings menu, but that did nothing for me. any help or guidance on where to find more information will be very much appreciated. As always, thank you for your time.

Windows Server domain join not possible when on different hosts

Hello, I stumbled upon a very weird problem and I am not able to sort it out myself.I have a pretty fresh Cluster running AHV which is for our Lab.I installed a Server 2022 DC - all fine. I installed a second one - all good.I created the Active Directory on the first one, edited IP-Settings on both machines including DNS and everything and tried to join the other Server as a second Domain Controller. That is where I got stuck. It wasn’t able to join the Domain. On the Error Page it said it was able to find the Domain but wether A-Records are not correct or the Server is noch reachable.Ping and nslookup works just fine though. I tried a day testing everything that was coming to my mind and after some while I tried to eliminate as much factors as possible. So I migrated both Servers to the same Node to eliminate networking issues - and this does the trick. When I want to domain join another Server from another Node it does not work anymore, as soon as it is on the same, it does.I then tr
