How do we browse Nutanix containers from command line to check what is contained in it.
Solved
Browse containers
Best answer by JeremyJ
AHV doesn’t manage VM files in quite the same way.
In addition to the suggestions above, you can also use the Filesystem Whitelist function to make containers accessible/mountable using NFS or SMB from a client system. After doing this, you can browse containers from a client machine the same as you would any other NFS mount or mapped drive.
Most of the files are named with their vmdisk UUID. Is there something specific you wanted to locate?
