HiI have AHV version 20220304.342. I have deployed Prism Central version pc.2022.6.0.5 but when I try and register it I get an error message under tasks that tells me:Pre registration checks - failedThe reason is showing as ‘The username or password entered is incorrect’I have tried all different combinations for the user ‘admin’ and have even changed it but still the same?I also went into Local User Management and created another admin user account but still got the same result using that one too?Any advice welcome please? Many thanks

On the Prism analysis page, I want to see the disk usage chart for the VM.I created Chart by adding Disk Usage(%) to Metric, but I got No dataIt's coming. Is it a feature that's not supported?

is these anyway to schedule the events summary in prism central

I would like to create variables that are reusable in blueprints - things like package store URI, proxy URL, etc. I don’t think it makes sense to define these in every blueprint, as they’re identical; we want to keep that kind of thing DRY.The docs state that Variable Types defined in the Library are reusable across blueprints. But if I define MY_VAR as a new Variable Type with a value, it has no value when expanded in a blueprint script as @@{MY_VAR}@@. What is the trick to defining these vars at the Library level and using them in Blueprints? Thanks!

Hi all!I’m guessing I’m missing something obvious here, but I can’t figure it out so I’m hoping that the community can give me a helping hand. :)I want to launch a blueprint using the /blueprints/{uuid}/launch API call as the “simple launch” call doesn’t do what I want. I want to automatically associate the new application with a project and as far as I can tell I have to use the “normal launch” for that.I grabbed the exact payload that Prism Central/Calm sends and have spent half a day trying to clean it up so that I can re-use it, but this is where I get nowhere. If I remove too much, I get an error directly from the API but most of the time I can submit the request without errors.Compounding the issue is that there is nothing showing in the Tasks-indicator in Prism Central, not even an error or a warning, after I sent in the call - there is simply no trace at all of the task I just created.If I check the pending launch details with the /blueprints/{uuid}/pending_launches/{launched_u

Hi all.I have a single-VM blueprint that I want to launch using the “Launch blueprint” API call. The schema for this call requires that I specify an app profile UUID but no matter where I look, I can’t find any reference to this UUID, neither in the UI nor via API calls.To be fair, I haven’t gone through every single API call so there might still be one that eludes me.How do I know what app profile UUID to include in my payload when using the “Launch blueprint” API call?Thanks!

Hi,is it possible to search VM by its LABEL via api ?Thanks

This question has been asked a few times on this forum but has never been fully answered.When i try to delete a disk image, I get an error:Attribute _app_blueprint_template not set I can not find any mention of this attribute anywhere, and I can’t find any other way to delete the image. I tried the API method from this post but it has the same result.What’s the trick here?  

I have been relatively successful using a blueprint to define all the tasks and installations to create a solid VM. I now want to bake this VM into an image, so it has all those tasks already performed on it. I tried creating a VM template, but when i launch an instance from it, it has no Dynamic IP assigned. What is, or can someone point me to, the best practice/standard pattern for building a catalog of images with various apps and tasks pre-baked-in, so we don’t have to apply their installation every time?thanks!

Hi guys, My customer currently uses CyberArk to do ID management. For Nutanix clusters, I know there are two build-in local IDs: One is admin which could access from Web GUI and CLI, another is nutanix which could access from CLI. I want to know:Any references which other cases use CyberArk to do ID management for Nutanix IDs? admin/nutanix could be disabled? If could not be disabled, could these IDs be managed by CyberArk? Thanks!

Hi Does anyone know how I can kill the running task in Prism Central? There are 4 tasks already stuck in Prism Central and running for more than 3 days. I tried to kill from command line but failed. Please help.Thank you.

I want to build a blueprint that provisions a CentOS8 VM. I have added a CentOS8 disk to the Catalog Items list in Prism Central. When I go to build/edit my blueprints in Calm/Self Service, the disk does not show up as an option in the Disks configuration field. How do i enable a disk image from the Catalog Items to be available in Calm blueprints?Thanks!

How do you delete a recovery point in Prism Central of a VM that no longer exists?

Or, “How does the ‘Check Login’ step actually work?”I consistently get a TLS error on any attempt to connect to the new VM from CALM. Every time. This is a blocker for me, as I can’t do much to the VMs during provisioning without this connectivity, and I can’t/shouldn’t do everything in the cloud-init step.  I am able to ssh into the new VMs successfully using the same credentials, so I know that the credential is correct, but I don’t think the credential is the issue - the error is happening before the system tries to use it. The screenshots below are from two different blueprint deployments.Script execution has failed with error: tls: first record does not look like a tls handshake.Could not connect to the service running at 1.2.3.4.From a higher level, how does CALM initiate the connection to the new VM when starting the “check login” step? The TLS handshake issue implies a mismatch of HTTP/S protocols, and/or mismatched TLS 1.1/1.2/etc versions. But this is supposed to be an SSH co

Hello We want to create an automation that any new VM based on its subnet (Vlan) will be automatically added to category. How can we do that? Thank you

Hi,My challenge is to verify a user’s input before she clicks ‘execute’ For example: I’ve created a variable named MyNumber with Data type = integerI want to verify that the provided value should not be higher than 3Using input type as Escript, I’ve tried:if @@{MyNumber}@@ > 3:    print(3)But when executing the runbook I get the warning that I have a cyclic dependency and the input is not available.Is there a way to achieve this input verification?Thanks

Hi,  I have 2 cluster and are planning to update the hypervisor and VM.1 cluster with 4 Dell nodes with Hyper V server 2019 Hypervisor and multiple VM with Window server and ubuntuanother cluster with 4 Dell nodes VMware Hypervisor and multiple of Window server ubuntu VM too. I have downloaded the LCM bundle package for Dell and the LCM packages and publish it onto the Dark web IIS server. However I can only see the Hardware build and the manifest.Where do I download the software build? Does the Software build package include the AOS and the Hypervisor?  Where does the Hypervisor package include? Hypervisor version ? If it is hypervisor version, does it means update the vulnerability or upgrade the version? Does the package include the monthly Microsoft vulnerability patches for window or SQL? What is the procedure or steps to do the entire updates? I do know the that hardware is the last Update Guest OS, node OS or update AOS first? Is there any available checklist that I need to d

► My Nutanix Version: pc.2022.6.0.5 Hi, community! On “Count” Metric Summary Aggregation option in Prism Central > Operations > Reports, after generating PDF/CSV files, they show no data, being that PDF shows “Data is either not found, or it is inaccessible due to restrictions” and CSV shows blank cells: PDF Report exampleCVS Report example How can I solve it? Regards, thanks for attention and waiting for reply,Alan

The Reporting feature of Nutanix Cloud Manager Intelligent Operations enables you to create reports and schedule them to be e-mailed on a regular basis. But did you know you can also send these reports to Slack? While the reporting framework currently only allows you to specify e-mail, you can set up a time-based playbook using Nutanix’s low-code/no-code automation tool (also known as X-Play), along with the Generate Report and Slack actions.Note: Be sure to set up your Slack app as per the documentation. You’ll also need to ensure that the file:write permission scope is granted to the app.Once you have a report configured, set up your playbook. From the main Prism Central 2023.3 dashboard, select Intelligent Operations from the drop down menu, then navigate to the hamburger menu > Playbooks. Alternatively, just search for Playbooks in the search bar.  Click on Create Playbook, then select the Time trigger.Specify the schedule you want the playbook to run on (i.e. how often you want
