vm-snapshot-export

Usage

avcli vm-snapshot-export [--wait][--silent][--volumes volumes] --path pathname [--format format] snapshot

Description

The vm-snapshot-export command exports a snapshot of a VM in OVF/VHD or OVF/VHDX format to the directory specified by pathname. The command first exports VHD or VHDX files, followed by the OVF file. When the OVF file appears in pathname, the export is complete.
Note: Before you can start an export, you must mount a target Windows/CIFS or NFS share (from another system) in the everRun host operating system. For details, see Exporting a Snapshot.

Options

--wait Wait for the export operation to complete. Specify this option to view the export progress.
--silent Suppress progress output.
--volumes volumes Restrict the exported volumes to those specified; otherwise, all volumes will be created. Specify volumes by configuration name or ID, boot volume first.
--path pathname A pathname relative to the export mount point to where the exported OVF is written.
--format format

The format of the snapshot to be exported. Valid values are:

  • vhd—Virtual hard disk format.
  • vhdx—Hyper-V virtual hard disk format.
snapshot The name of the snapshot to export.

Examples

Export a snapshot with all captured volumes:

$ avcli vm-snapshot-export --path exports/ex1 ex1

Export a snapshot with just one captured volume:

$ avcli vm-snapshot-export --volumes boot-ex1 --path exports/ex1 ex1
