4 <title>Importing an Instance: Overview of Events</title>
5
6 <body>
7 <p>The following describes the sequence of events when you import an instance from <ph
8 conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/oci"/>. </p>
9 <ul>
10 <li>
11 <p>A custom image is created from the boot volume of the instance. </p>
12 </li>
13 <li>
14 <p>The custom image is exported to an <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/oci"/> object and is stored using
15 Object Storage in the bucket specified by the user. </p>
16 </li>
17 <li>
18 <p>The <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/oci"/> object is downloaded to the local host. The object is a TAR
19 archive which contains a boot volume of the instance in QCOW2 format and a JSON file containing metadata
20 related to the instance. </p>
21 </li>
22 <li>
23 <p>The boot volume of the instance is extracted from the archive and a new VMDK image is created by converting
24 the boot volume into the VMDK format. The VMDK image is registered with <ph
25 conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/>. </p>
26 </li>
27 <li>
28 <p>A new VM is created using the VMDK image for the cloud instance. </p>
29 <p>By default, the new VM is not started after import from <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/oci"/>. </p>
30 </li>
31 <li>
32 <p>The downloaded TAR archive is deleted after a successful import. </p>
33 </li>
34 </ul>
