5 Essential Tips for Maximizing Your Experience at Nutanix .NEXT for Bloggers
Prism Central is required to run many advanced level features and services, but it is not required for core virtualization or storage functionality. Prism Central is needed for CALM, FLOW, Karbon, Prism Pro, and if you want a single pane to see all your clusters.You do not need a license to deploy Prism Central. If you’re only using Prism Central as a single pane of glass to view all your Nutanix clusters in one place, then you do not need an additional license for that. However, if you want to use some or all of the more advanced features, like Prism Pro, then you will need a license for that. Prism Pro includes things like capacity analysis, VM right sizing, custom reporting, and X-Play. For example, many of my customers are using capacity analysis and reporting within their Nutanix Environments, which requires a Prism Pro license. There is a datasheet here you can reference: https://www.nutanix.com/content/dam/nutanix/resources/datasheets/ds-prism-pro.pdfOne note on your VMware lice
Are you querying Prism Central or Prism Element? The Powershell Cmdlets are built on v1 API which only works with Prism Element AFAIK.
With v2 API, in your request for /vms/, include_vm_disk_config=true. For example: https://PRISM_IP:9440/PrismGateway/services/rest/v2.0/vms/?include_vm_disk_config=true This will return vm_disk_info with storage_container_uuid for each VM. I think an alternative would be to do a GET /virtual_disks/. This will list all of the virtual disks on the cluster and provides the attached_vmname and storage_container_uuid for each virtual disk.
