Nutanix Cloud Manager

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

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

hello Sir,Installation error please share currect ISO download link.Please find the attached for Nutanix error. 

Hello,I added a secondary Cluster to my Prism Central loaded in another site. Inside Prim central im unable to do launch Prism elements of this cluster. I get a error saying. " This action is not supported on unreachable cluster" Ports 80/9440 are open between all CVMs/Nodes and Prism central. I can see data from the cluster in Prism central, so I'm just wondering what I'm missing?

I receive the following error when trying to use a public signed cert in Prism Central:Unsupported signature algorithm detected on one or more certificates in CA chain. Please refer to the FIPS 140-2 documentation for more information. I did the same for Prism Element a few days ago and that went fine. Followed the exact same steps (minus the FQDN of course) for Central but this throws an error. What's the difference between the 2?

I am currently using Nutanix Calm API v3. After creating a crash-consistent VM recovery point using the POST endpoint /api/nutanix/v3/mh_vms/{vm_uuid}/snapshot and verifying that it exists on Prism Central, I attempted to revert the VM to this recovery point using the POST endpoint /api/nutanix/v3/mh_vms/{vm_uuid}/revert using the recovery point uuid in req body. The response has 200 status code but the task reference returned has task_uuid value of ‘something’. I also cannot see any alerts on PC indicating that the VM revert task has been attempted. May I know if anyone has experienced this issue before and how I might rectify this issue? Im not sure how to proceed since the API request appears to be successful. In particular, I would like to understand the circumstances under which Calm API returns tasks with uuid value of ‘something’. Thanks!

How to get Nutanix AHV VM bios UUID

I have attempted to create a VM recovery point on Prism Central and revert it from the recovery point. However, I am getting an info-level message that the recovery point is degraded and that the recovery Point for VM failed to capture associated policies and categories because the network name is not available for the VM.The VM revert task also does not seem to have been executed as there is no event confirming success. The VM is created from a blueprint that is part of a project with a configured VPC, and I have already verified that there are no issues in connection between PC and PE. May I know possible reasons for why this is happinening and how I might resolve this? I have consulted the link https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/kbs/details?targetId=kA00e000000CyDeCAK but it seems to be targeted at VMs running on ESXi, our VMs run on AOS/AHV. Thanks!
