Looks like you can do this with XO CLI --

xo-cli vm.export vm=a01667e0-8e29-49fc-a550-17be4226783c @=vm.xva

From https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/blob/master/packages/xo-cli/README.md

That looks like xva format ...not ova ??? unless I am reading something wrong ??

VM export

xo-cli vm.export vm=a01667e0-8e29-49fc-a550-17be4226783c @=vm.xva

Or can I simply change the file extension ?? ( ie; @=vm.ova ) ??

Ah... I overlooked that. Not sure if OVA is supported here without looking into it further.

@Dude417 Hello, you need to use the format param for that:

xo-cli vm.export vm=a01667e0-8e29-49fc-a550-17be4226783c format=ova @=vm.ova

I've also just added OVA support for VM export in the REST API: https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/blob/master/packages/xo-server/docs/rest-api.md#vm-export

Awesome ! Thank you !

Can this also be done without compression?

[julien-f]

@rfx77 Compression is only supported for XVA format and is disabled unless compress is passed.

compress

is there a way to export xoa via xe cli command?

[ainsean]

@ainsean got it
