Explanation
When a new VM is created in Nutanix AHV and powered on for the first time, it requires an OS installation ISO image to be mounted to the virtual CD-ROM drive before boot. If no ISO has been attached, the VM has no bootable installation media and cannot proceed with OS installation. The VM may attempt a network (PXE) boot or simply fail to boot entirely. The exhibit from a newly-created VM would show the CD-ROM is empty. Network booting (A) would only apply if a PXE server is configured. A corrupted installer (B) or corrupted SCSI disk (C) cannot be the cause since no installer has even been attached yet.
