Nutanix Cloud Manager

Hi,we just upgraded our prism central instance to the most current community edition version of Nutanix (2020.09.16). We also upgraded our cluster successfully. For this to happen I had to unregister the cluster from prism central first (with the help of: https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/kbs/details?targetId=kA00e000000XeZjCAK). After everything was updated I wanted to register the cluster again in prism central, but after some time I get the error message “Error: Failed to create remote connection”. I found this KB article: https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/kbs/details?targetId=kA00e0000009BwxCAE and executed all the steps therein (which are mostly the steps I already h

Hi All, i need to export the *.nutanix.local cert in a text format, does anyone have the commands to do this?

Hi.I’m the first to admit that I read the documentation for Calm a bit too quickly and didn’t really reflect on the meaning of “The Prism Central in which Nutanix Calm is running is registered with the same cluster.” and “Nutanix Calm is supported only on AHV and ESXi hypervisors on a Nutanix cluster.”After trying and failing to run this on an existing VMware cluster, that the Prism Central/Calm installation doesn’t own, I re-read the documentation and realized that I’d glossed over the actual requirements.I mention this to clarify that this isn’t a post about unclear documentation or incorrect requirements. I goofed, as simple as that. :)What I do want to know though is why these requirements exist. I have talked to my contacts at Nutanix and I so far I haven’t got a proper answer to this question.Can anyone please explain, in detail, why I can’t run Calm on an arbitrary VM?

Does any one know the syntax to get the first 3 characters of the project name ?  The documentation is not clear.  It talks about support for slicing for strings. For example, @@{foo[3:6]}@@, but it doesn’t seem to work.

Network segmentation enhances security, resilience, and cluster performance by isolating a subset of traffic to its own network.The four primary means of network segmentation are the following:Isolating Backplane Traffic by using VLANs (Logical Segmentation) Isolating Backplane Traffic Physically (Physical Segmentation) Isolating Service-Specific Traffic Isolating Stargate-to-Stargate traffic over RDMAWe will discuss on how to secure traffic associated with a service (for example, Nutanix Volumes) by confining its traffic to a separate vNIC on the CVM and using a dedicated virtual network

Hi Nutanix community,I am trying to create a report based on this: How to create a custom Virtual Machine report in Prism Central and my report fails. Any idea what might have gone wrong and where to see this?

JSESSIONID cookie used by Prism is not being set. Tried with available options. Any one has succeeded in doing this?

We have two Prism Central in our environment. Is there a way to link two PrismCentral ?

I am trying to figure out how to pass variables to a calm runbook through a JSON post via the API. /api/nutanix/v3/runbooks/runbooku_uid/run{ "kind": "runbook" "spec": { "args": [ { "name": "network_name", "value": "Test123" }]}} 

I’ve had a very frustrating experience with Self-Service via Prism Central (pc.2021.1.0.1).We do not have CALM, but since Nutanix does have Self-Service with Prism Central, we’ve been trying to use that feature for our users. However, the solution is very flaky with some of the issues below:Poor RBAC. The roles seem target to CALM. Why show Blueprints when CALM isn’t licensed? Difficult to provide as-required privileges for a self-service user. The user can create VM recovery points, but cannot see them for recovery (tried all built-in roles). Dead links. Self-service users see links for CALM, Files, Karbon. However, when clicked, they either throw an error or unavailable message or log the user out. Self-Service user sees more info than required. Can download cluster keys, etc.If Nutanix can provide a solid Self-Service experience in PC without CALM, that’d go a long way in attracting new customers and then later the customers may e

I’m tuning RBAC to provide Self-Service users with just enough permissions for CRUD operations on VMs and Recovery points using the API and custom roles.When trying to create a VM, I see the following message with the “VM Template” radio button greyed out: There are currently no VM templates available in the projects that you are a part of. So, where is the association of VM Templates to a project? I created a couple of VM templates by creating the required images and adding them to the catalog. Is there some special permission required for this (because playing with RBAC has made this greyed out)? 

Hello Analysis exported VM CPU, VM memory usage in CSV file but I can't adjust the time interval. Is there a way to adjust the time interval when I get export? Is it possible manually? 

Hi, Is there any way to automate the addition of a VM to the Catalog (for PC Self-Service)? i.e. REST API/acli/ncli/anything? I couldn’t find it and want to confirm.

I want to create to vm’s using REST API by selecting one of Catalog Items.I can create vm via catalog items via Prism Central Dashboard.When i try to create vm via REST API, i can not find any reference to give Catalogs Items vm  template there.How to give vm templates in vm creation using REST API?

I’m using AOS 5.15.4 and Prism Central pc.2021.1.0.1. Been trying to Update a VM’s categories using the v3 API PUT operation, but I keep getting the following error:{'api_version': '3.1', 'code': 409, 'message_list': [{'message': 'Edit conflict: please retry change. Entity CAS version mismatch.', 'reason': 'CONCURRENT_REQUESTS_NOT_ALLOWED'}], 'state': 'ERROR'}I’ve seen others get the same error as well, but without any resolution mentioned. Tried a few suggestions (use_categories_mapping = True, machine_type = “PC”, checked spec_version) depending on suggestions in forums/Support Portal, but nothing worked.Also, I’ve noticed (from release notes in various versions) that this error appears now and then with mentions of it being fixed. What is this error and why is it plaguing the v3 API? An update o

Hello!I have an LCM inventory task that seem to be stuck in my cluster. It is stuck at 5% since 2 days ago. Please, help me to solve this issue. The following command shows that there's not LCM process running:$ acli task.list include_completed=false | grep lcm

Hi, we are getting 100’s of copies of a simple PC report (a clone of one of the built in reports). It seems after time change on Sunday AM the reports w/ schedules seem to trigger an hour earlier than they should. So they then run over and over until the time actually triggers. For example:Daily Report scheduled for 7am, runs at 6am (over and over - 718 times last count) until 7am (it runs over a bit, eg. 7:05am which I assume is just it catching up w/ the que). I have deleted the reports, created brand new ones, setup new schedules, checked time on PC CVM (is correct). Tried to restart services/cluster stop/reboot, etc. Even tried updating PC to 2021.1.0.1 (which fixed a PDF reporting issue we had, but not this one).  Anyone else having this issue?

Hi,I created a custom network(does not have internet access) in PC and assign it to an android vm but its fluctuating. It is not connecting to that network. (Also tried by creating  diffrent subent, same issuse ).While this issue occurs only in Android Vm, Not in Linux,Windows VM.Linux and Windows VM were easily connected without any issue.See GIF for more clarification. 

Hi,We run an out of hours monitoring service here that automatically contacts an engineer when a specific email address receives an alert.The problem is, I don’t want to be alerted to every event - only Critical or events that affect the running of the cluster (e.g. Disk Failure, Node Failure, CVM failure) to the out of hours, but we do want normal alerts to come through to another email address.How would I go about customizing alerts to a) go to a specific address and b) only critical events are sent?The e-mail config for alerts seems to cover all events which is great for in-hours but not for on-call. Custom alerts don’t seem to cover the events above.

Hello,I would need help. I want to build a VM image via terraform. I always get an error message when deploying. I can not delete the created image.I get the following error message when deploying and when deleting:INTERNAL_ERROR: Attribute _app_blueprint_template not set, progress_message: Delete Image "TestImage".I can't set the attribute and need help. Anybody have an idea ?

I started a 1-click ESXi HyperVisor upgrade of a 7-node cluster which progressed well and had already successfully upgraded 4 of the nodes, when one of the hosts wasn’t able to enter maintenance mode because one of the VMs was spending too long consolidating a snapshot. After many hours had passed, the remaining 1-click update tasks all appeared to have aborted.  I manually resolved the issue involving the guest, and then started the 1-click update again.  It prompted for vCenter details, and then created new hypervisor update tasks to update the remainder of the ESXi hosts.These also completed successfully.All Hypervisor update Tasks appear to be completed, and all the ESXi hosts are updated.All NCC checks also pass OK.  The cluster is healthy, the Health Icon is green, and Data Resiliencey is OK.Howerver, the CVMs all still believe there is a Hypervisor upgrade in progress:nutanix@NTNX:~$ ncli host ls | egrep

Hello,I’m using prism_services_java.jar that I’ve extracted from the SDK. My issue is that there is no documentation for the Java API, and I don’t know how to use VMAdministration.getVMs() I guess the parameters match the REST API, but I need the documentation to make it work.Any help is appreciated, thanks.
