Thanks Pete. I have Nutanix Community edition in my lab but can’t get Prism Central going :(. In fact on the latest version when I try the click method it does not even show available versions. :( 

Before I simply did not have the horse power but now.. One of the Vanguards I think said they would be putting out soon a smaller version for labs and CE have you heard that at all?

No worries. You have to manage a lot of content. It is good to get some from other sources once in a while😀.
