The "get" command fails to execute because Cygwin is not available at path <code>C:\cygwin</code>.
This issue is resolved in NSX-T 3.1.1 and above.
To workaround the issue, disable displaying date time stamp in command outputs using the following command: nsx> set cli-output datetime disable To verify the date time stamp display status, the following command can be used: nsx> get cli-output datetime Expected output when display date time stamp is enabled: Output datetime is: enabled Expected output when display date time stamp is disabled: Output datetime is: disabled
