Nutanix Discovery

[alan_death]

We recently set up a Nutanix environment and I'm trying to run Discovery on it and getting errors in the pattern that I can't make any sense of. It created 1 CI called 'PrismCentral@No Source' and that's it. See attached error. Several of these errors show up in the pattern log and they're all essentially the same. Can anyone tell me what this means?

I recently resolved this successfully with the help of a client's Nutanix admin and a Nutanix support engineer.

Our obstacles were:
1) Our account had to be a local account in Prism, not a domain account (it’s doing an API call, and the API doesn’t know anything about our domain)
2) The account needs viewer access to all of Prism Central (the admin tried giving it more granular permissions at first - that won't work or will you give a lot to troubleshoot. Just give it viewer permissions)
3) That same account needs admin on the Prism Central’s individual elements to get host-level data, VMS, etc. (without this, you'll be able to authenticate with Prism Central, but then NOT get any host or VM data out)

Hope it helps!
