Nutanix Cloud Manager

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

HiNutanix 6.6.2.5Installing Prism Central (1-Click Internet)When I deploy PC, then there is an option, as either:Small Large X-LargeWhen I selected small. Then I get 1.VM with “6 vCPUs, 26 GB of memory, and 500 GiB of storage.”I deploy it. And after there is an option to “Scale out PC”. I can scale out to 3-VM, so I get 3x “6 vCPUs, 26 GB of memory, and 500 GiB of storage.” But my question is, can I scale out from Small to Large as well ?And also from Small to X-Large..?Or I need drop my PC to achieve that..? I am new to nutanix. And I would like to know, which is the best approach for later on, when there is a need to expand.Also, as I have read, the Flow Virtual Networking requires “

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?

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:

Hi AllCurrently a new version has been released for prism that is pc.2022.9 . In which, it has been mentioned that Microservice infrastructure would be enabled by default and it is mandatory as well for this version .Can anyone confirm that enable of microservice infrastructure requires separate license as in my current infra i dnt have Microservice infrastructure enabled and i dnt require it also .[I am using ESXi as a hypervisor] .Also, is there any way old version of Prism[PC.2022.6.0.1] can be update to this pc.2022.9 version without having Microservice infrastructure enabled ?

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?
