Explanation

In Nutanix AHV (and most hypervisor platforms), boot order and BIOS settings for a VM can only be modified when the VM is powered off. If the VM is currently powered on, the BIOS/boot configuration fields are locked and non-editable in the Prism interface. The exhibit would show the VM in a 'Running' or 'On' power state. The administrator must first shut down the VM, then modify the boot priority (e.g., set the CD-ROM as the first boot device), and then power it back on to begin the GuestOS reinstall from ISO.
