After writing this blogpost on  Adding a persistent disk via Powershell with Citrix MCS running on Nutanix AHV I got an email from one of our senior system architects, he asked me about this configuration so I shared the blogpost with him and his customer to find out that this customer enhanced the scripting part

  Yesterday one of our SEs mentioned he was talking to a customer and this customer is using MCS between two separate clusters. They were looking for a way to only keep one image updated and they are then looking to use our Protection Domain to replicate it over to the other cluster. Now, they

One of the customers I was engaged with ran into an issue where Citrix Studio was throwing out power commands towards Prism and Nutanix AHV but the VMs didn’t always respond properly. After some investigation it turned out we ran into the issue described here. Now obviously Citrix has best practices to disable screensavers on

Ok ok, a new version of this Powershell script? Yeah, in the latest addition I’ve added CPU RDY % and Working Set Sizes for Read/Write IO. This time I’ve added a colomn that shows if the VM has a CD-ROM and if so, what ISO file is mounted to the CD-ROM. This was based on

After a great meeting with a current Nutanix customer they asked if we had a tool that could provide them with some more background on their current cluster utilization and report on that. While Prism/Prism Pro will give you excellent reporting I try to automate as much as possible so I decided to alter the

Here I found myself wondering around the twitter sphere where I found this little gem posted by Aaron Parker: “Out-HtmlView – HTML alternative to Out-GridView #PowerShell https://buff.ly/2UBPq6x “. This made me modify the current VM Reporting script for AHV and now the script will output to this HTML view when the PSWriteHTML module is installed and

Another powershell blog? Yeah, I guess it’s that kind of a month :). After writing my previous blog on How to add a NIC via Powershell to an AHV-hosted VM I got talking to one of our Services resources about a customer trying to run Citrix PVS with BDM. I figured I could easily modify

After getting a question on how to add a network interface card to an existing VM I reverted back to powershell again, this could be useful for PVS scenarios where you want to seperate out network traffic stream (streaming vs generic network traffic) which is an outdated practice but for the sake of the powershell

As I was on a roll with powershell scripts anyway I looked at the Reporting vGPU enabled VMs on AHV.I wrote earlier this month and wanted to reuse that script for the VM Inventory script I had written back in 2017 and with the new capabilities of Nutanix AHV it made sense to add the

After writing the script to create VM on AHV with a vGPU profile I was wondering what else I could do with the code I had written. When I was looking at some of my older blogposts I realized I had a VM inventory script and wanted to update that to include the GPU profiles.
