Why the 'Guest OS' field in nutanix vm is NULL?

I was just writing a PowerShell script and encountered the same thing on 5.10.2 on a cluster running AHV. I can confirm this is still an issue. I’ll open a ticket for a feature request. This is definitely disappointing,  especially considering how easy it is to do on ESXi.  @McCranium  Yes, it has been over a year and the feature is still not available. I hope this gets resolved soon, because this will make things easy when doing inventory, etc.

[quote=RichardsonPorto]Hi [user=11184]DavidN[/user], glad to know that your problem was fixed on AOS 5.10.1, but the [user=81648]darshan.patel[/user] issue is another, since he is using AHV hypervisor and in your case your are using vSphere ESXi as hypervisor. For AHV, the FEAT-8002 is still open.[/quote] Hi [user=79602]RichardsonPorto[/user] Yes you are correct. I also upgraded my PC and PE to 5.10.2, but the issue is still present in AHV. Thanks for posting out details. I am just curious about FEAT-8002, can a nutanix user is able see cases/details about future features or future enhancements? If yes, can you post links?

[quote=DavidN]We opened a ticket about this (00487751) early Feb 2019 - ENG-177417, resolved in 5.10.1 was the answer.[/quote] [user=11184]DavidN[/user] were you able to get the Guest OS information in AHV Hypervisor via Powershell?? I am using the version (Version euphrates-5.5.8-stable LTS - Ultimate License) and I am not able to get the Guest OS or Description of VM from Powershell script. If you have a solution or work around, please share.

[user=79602]RichardsonPorto[/user] I saw your comment in the similar post as mine. I am also having problem with getting Guest OS and VM Description information in AHV. If theres a manual way to achieve the solution? then I can log a support ticket. Thanks,

When doing VM Migration from XenCenter to AHV, the VM gives a boot disk error at the startup in AHV after migration

[h2][b]HERES THE SOLUTION!!![/b][/h2] [list] [*]When you remove all XenServer Drivers, do not [b]DELETE[/b] them, just uninstall all the Xen drivers from Device Manager without restarting the VM, (Click NO when prompted to restart) [*]Restart VM [*]If prompted to do another restart after you login, click NO [*]Check Device Manager for any Xen drivers -> if there are any, uninstall them. DO NOT DELETE. [*]Install VirtIO Drivers [*]Clear the Registry Key for all XEN components [*]Shut down the vm with '[b][i]shutdown -s -t 0[/i][/b]' [*]Do not re-start the VM in XenServer now. [*]Mount DISKs as SCSI in AHV [*]Start the VM [/list]This worked for me, I was doing a silly mistake when I was removing the Xen Drivers. Well, hopefully this article/question/discussion will help anyone with similar problem. Peace :v_tone1:

XenServer to Nutanix AHV VM Migration ERROR [Boot Device not found]

[quote=jrack]Yeah sounds like something is up w the virtio stack. I have had issues w the xen paravirts way back when conflicting with natives, but details have been expunged.[/quote] [user=10535]jrack[/user] I think I know whats the problem. When I pre-install the nutanix VirtIO.msi installer, it installs everything but the SCSI drivers and hence when after migration I mount the disks it doesnt recognizes the disks. I am not able to find the SCSI drivers for Nutanix, can you send me a link if you have?

XenServer to Nutanix AHV VM Migration ERROR [Boot Device not found]

[quote=jrack]Ok but you can see the file system now. If you get into emergency mode can you get to a console and attach and install the drivers? Those xen pvdrivers are a bit troublesome so maybe something is causing issues there. Have you tried to start from your xen vm again and give it another go?[/quote] Hey [user=10535]jrack[/user] When I mount the drives as IDE I am able to see the file systems but I cannot get into any of the drives to install the drivers and when I mount the drives as SCSI, it doesn't recognize the drive. I cannot start the VM in the xen now as it will give me the same boot device not found error there as well. Not sure why it is not able to recognize the drive, I think I am going to make a new test vm in XenServer and will give it a shot again and do the migration.

XenServer to Nutanix AHV VM Migration ERROR [Boot Device not found]

[quote=jrack]Yeah ok that's what I figured. Yeah the disk is not being seen. If you attach that disk using ide does it show up?[/quote] Hi [user=10535]jrack[/user] Yes, I am able to see the volumes when I am using/mounting the disk as IDE. [img]https://d1qy7qyune0vt1.cloudfront.net/nutanix-us/attachment/a5705cbb-141c-4de4-a200-25fb1fb10ebe.png[/img] But the Windows is still restarting -> goes into "Ran into a problem" -> Preparing Automatic Repair -> Troubleshooting Menu -> Restarts again.

XenServer to Nutanix AHV VM Migration ERROR [Boot Device not found]

[quote=jrack]The disk repair is going fine? Can you drop to the console and see what the disk looks like? Maybe the disk file was corrupted in transit?[/quote] Hey [user=10535]jrack[/user] I opened the cmd and went into diskpart and it only shows one volume, Volume 0 i.e. CD-ROM. I think it should show the other volumes too right? (the iso image I created from the vm migration) Heres what my diskpart is giving me:[img]https://d1qy7qyune0vt1.cloudfront.net/nutanix-us/attachment/517512c3-1781-46a2-bca9-844663e818a8.png[/img] But the matter of fact, I have 3 disks attached to the VM: [img]https://d1qy7qyune0vt1.cloudfront.net/nutanix-us/attachment/4cb78065-eba2-4efc-8dfa-a8932216bbf2.png[/img] Do you think that the reason its not showing up in the diskpart at startup is because its not reading it? When I try to refresh the PC from trouble shoot menu, it says it cannot be refreshed as the disk is locked. Sorry too many questions at a time, but help me if you have a solution.

XenServer to Nutanix AHV VM Migration ERROR [Boot Device not found]

[quote=jrack]Gut says the virtio drivers didn't install right or something w storage drivers. You are hitting the bios so most of it sounds right. The fact the disk wouldn't boot as ide though is odd. Only other thought is an efi vs bios issue. What happens with the disk repair?[/quote] Hey [user=10535]jrack[/user] , The boot repair runs through without error and the VM restarts and repeats the same again and again. I did install Virtio drivers prior to migrating the VM and I think it installed correctly. Is there any other way to install the drivers now? I mean I can mount the drivers.iso and can I install the drivers from the iso and then reboot the VM ?
