Export AHV VM in OVA format


Forum|alt.badge.img+2

I read that we can able to export the AHV VM in OVA format via Prism central GUI if we have both AOS and Prism central supported version. I need to know is there any way to do the same via PRISM CLI. If so,please share me any link for that. Thanks.

I believe the only way to export as OVA is using Prism Central GUI.  I have not seen a way to do it using aCLI

Or alternatively you can download the VM using WinSCP which might be useful if you moving the VM to another cluster with same hypervisor.   For cross hypervisor migrations you can use Nutanix Move
