== Classic Export ==
Example: `MONITORING.CIFARELLI.LOC`
ACCESS THE CLUSTER VIA SSH

<pre>
 acli vm.get MONITORING.CIFARELLI.LOC include_vmdisk_paths=1 | grep -E 'disk_list|vmdisk_nfs_path|vmdisk_size|vmdisk_uuid'
</pre>

The result is something like:

<pre>
 nutanix@NTNX-CZ29500B2V-A-CVM:10.0.1.4:~$ acli vm.get MONITORING.CIFARELLI.LOC include_vmdisk_paths=1 | grep -E 'disk_list|vmdisk_nfs_path|vmdisk_size|vmdisk_uuid'
    disk_list {
      vmdisk_nfs_path: "/default-container-4720327164551/.acropolis/vmdisk/6825bd1f-fe03-4490-94a2-205cfdd25d80"
      vmdisk_size: 214748364800
      vmdisk_uuid: "6825bd1f-fe03-4490-94a2-205cfdd25d80"
    disk_list {
</pre>

Take note of the path.

<br>From a Linux machine:

<pre>
 sftp -o HostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa -o PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa -o Port=2222 admin@10.0.0.10
</pre>

If you get a crypto error:

<pre>
 update-crypto-policies --show
</pre>

Take note of the policy: it must be restored afterward.<br>

Temporarily set the policy:<br>

<pre>
 update-crypto-policies --set DEFAULT:SHA1
</pre>

This should make it compatible with the old protocol.
Then:

<pre>
 sftp -o HostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa -o PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa -o Port=2222 admin@10.0.0.10
 admin@10.0.0.10's password:
 Connected to 10.0.0.10.
 sftp> get /default-container-4720327164551/.acropolis/vmdisk/6825bd1f-fe03-4490-94a2-205cfdd25d80
</pre>

Or, more compactly:

<pre>
 scp -P2222 admin@10.0.0.10:/default-container-4720327164551/.acropolis/vmdisk/6825bd1f-fe03-4490-94a2-205cfdd25d80 .
</pre>

Run inside a `screen` session as it can take several hours.

== Alternative Method ==
An OVA export utility is now available in Prism Central.</br>
Follow the instructions here: [https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Prism-Central-Guide-vpc\_2024\_2\:mul-vm-export-as-ova-pc-t.html](https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Prism-Central-Guide-vpc_2024_2:mul-vm-export-as-ova-pc-t.html) <br>
Once complete, go to OVAs (type it in the application selector), select the export, and copy the export link.<br>

Then, from a LINUX machine where the disk needs to be imported:

<pre>
 wget --no-check-certificate --user=admin --ask-password --auth-no-challenge -O YOURVM.ova https://10.0.0.90:9440/api/nutanix/v3/ovas/7d89ffc0-9821-4cf0-9360-3e9f3f75c405/file
</pre>

You can use `virt-v2v` directly to import the VM into KVM. Note the usage:

<pre>
 virt-v2v -i ova YOURVM.ova -os iso
</pre>

Specify with `-os` a `dir`-type pool with enough free space (`virsh pool-list`).

Alternatively, extract the file to obtain the images:

<pre>
 [root@KVM4 ISO]# tar -xvf file
 2dd3009e-f74f-49a9-8a61-d99c7d6c25db.ovf
 a40567b0-9e05-4369-b13c-66e7aa7241fb.qcow2
</pre>
