Get virtual machine UUID based on VM name

Question

Is there any API to get VM UUID given VM name or any work around to get that?

Is it possible to delete a VM given only VM name with API?

Thanks in advance.

Pawan

@Pawan_sahu There is no direct way to do that now. However you can use powershell or REST APIs and achieve this.You can refer below.https://github.com/sandeepmp/nutanix/blob/master/delete-vm

@Pawan_sahu you need VM UUID to delete the VM. You can list all the vms or search by vm name using API. Are you looking to use this in Calm blueprint?
