How can an administrator view VMs by their installed guest operating systems?

1. Create an OSType Category value and assign them to the VMs

2. In the VM dashboard, filter by Nutanix Guest Tools OS field

3. Use a pre-defined Prism Central report

4. Use the Prism Central Analysis panel to create a pie chart by OSType

The correct answer is: Create an OSType Category value and assign them to the VMs

An administrator can view VMs by their installed guest operating systems by creating an OSType Category value and assigning them to the VMs. This approach allows for a structured way to categorize and filter VMs based on their guest OS. By defining an OSType Category, each VM can be tagged consistently, making it easier to manage and retrieve data based on specific operating systems. This methodology adds granularity to VM management, enabling quick identification and reporting based on the characteristics of the operating systems in use. Using the OSType Category provides an organized framework that can be utilized throughout the Nutanix platform, enhancing the administrator's ability to enforce policies or manage resources effectively aligned with the types of guest operating systems deployed across the infrastructure.
