Nutanix VM Clone Script

Clone a Nutanix VM through Prism Central and optionally adjust CPU, RAM, VLAN, description, and power state.

Features

• Finds source VM by name
• Creates target VM from source spec
• Removes source UUID, MAC addresses, and IP endpoints
• Optionally changes CPU, RAM, VLAN, and description
• Supports dry-run mode

Configuration

Edit nutanix_vm_clone.py:

NTNX_PRISMCENTRAL_IP = "YOUR_IP:9440"
PC_TOKEN = "YOUR GENERATED TOKEN FROM nutanix_auth.py"
SUBNET_UUIDS = {...}

Usage

python nutanix_vm_clone.py --source template01 --name server-new-01 --dry-run
python nutanix_vm_clone.py --source template01 --name server-new-01 --cpu 4 --ram 8 --vlan 80 --power on

Safety Notes

Always review the dry-run payload first. Do not commit real tokens, UUIDs, IP addresses, or internal details.
