Citrix Applayering and Prism Central 5.5 issues | Nutanix Community
Skip to main content
Specs:

Citrix App Layering Version: 4.11

AOS: 5.5

Prism Central: 5.5



We are running into an issue when creating new app layers and platform layers after upgrading to 5.5. If I disconnect our clusters from prism central, the creation process works. The app layering appliance appears to have issues creating a packaging VM on the nutanix clusters as prism central is now managing the CRUD operations, as opposed to being managed strictly by the cluster.



The error message we get in app layering is:



The Nutanix server has encountered a failure processing the request: (500) Error: Internal Server Error, Details: Error occurred while creating Disk Image



I'm not the most familiar with the low end nutanix platform, and where to search for logs, but it appears to be caused by the centralized image managed, or the centralized VM management function of prism.



Has anyone else ran into this issue, or possibly know when this will be fixed? Citrix's response is lackluster (as usual), and they state that they only support prism element, not prism central. Any help is GREATLY appreciated! This may not be the appropriate subforum for this question...
Currently it’s an API issue between PE and PC with App Layering using an older API. I thought it would be fixed by now but seems still an issue.



You have to unregister PE from PC and point App Layering to PE.

Citrix only supports Rest API V2 atm, maybe @KeesBaggerman can give a time line when this will be fixed 🙂

Hi Jarian,



thanks for your help, it's works great.

Did you contact Citrix to know if a corrective will be available and when?



thanks Maxime
Yes have been in contact with Citrix. They are aware of the issue. Hopefully fixed soon.
Pointing to PE will this break the golden images
