You can export the VM to one of the following: Virtual appliance in OVF format. Includes the copying of its virtual disk images to compressed VMDK. Cloud service such as &oci;. Exports a single VM in VMDK format. For more information about exporting VMs from &product-name;, see The VBoxManage export command enables you to export a VM as a virtual appliance in OVF format. machines Specifies a comma-separated list of one or more machines to export to the same OVF file. --output=filename Specifies the target OVF file. The file can be OVF, OVA, or a ZIP file compressed with the gzip command. Because the directory that contains the target OVF file will also store the exported disk images in the compressed VMDK format, ensure that this directory has sufficient disk space in which to store the images. The short form of this option is -o. --legacy09 Exports in OVF 0.9 legacy mode if the virtualization product is not fully compatible with the OVF 1.0 standard. --ovf09 Exports in OVF 0.9 format. --ovf10 Exports in OVF 1.0 format. --ovf20 Exports in OVF 2.0 format. --opc10 Exports in &oci; format. --manifest Creates a manifest of the exported files. --iso Creates an ISO file. --options=argument Specifies information to control the exact content of the appliance file. Specify one or more comma-separated arguments: manifest Produces a manifest file that detects corrupted appliances on import. iso Exports DVD images in an ISO file. nomacs Excludes all MAC addresses. nomacsbutnat Excludes all MAC addresses except for those in a NAT network. --description=description-info Specifies a description of the VM. --eula=license-text Specifies end-user license text. --eulafile=filename Specifies an end-user license file. --product=product-name Specifies a product name. --producturl=product-URL Specifies a product URL. --vendor=vendor-name Specifies a vendor name. --vendorurl=vendor-URL Specifies a vendor URL. --version=version-info Specifies version information. --vmname=vmname Specifies the name of the exported VM. --vsys=virtual-system-number Specifies the number of the virtual system. The VBoxManage export command enables you to export a VM to a cloud service provider such as &oci;. By default, the exported disk image is converted into stream VMDK format. This ensures compatibility with &oci;. Some of the following options are configuration settings for the VM instance. As a result, specify an Oracle Cloud Identifier (OCID) for a resource. Use the &oci; Console to view OCIDs. --output=cloud-service-provider Specifies the short name of the cloud service provider to which you export the VM. For &oci;, specify OCI://. The short form of this option is -o. --cloud=number-of-virtual-system Specifies a number that identifies the VM to export. Numbering starts at 0 for the first VM. --vmname=vmname Specifies the name of the exported VM, which is used as the VM instance name in &oci;. --cloudprofile=cloud-profile-name Specifies the cloud profile to use to connect to the cloud service provider. The cloud profile contains your &oci; account details, such as your user OCID and the fingerprint for your public key. To use a cloud profile, you must have the required permissions on &oci;. --cloudshape=cloud-shape-name Specifies the shape used by the VM instance. The shape defines the number of CPUs and the amount of memory that is allocated to the VM instance. Ensure that the shape is compatible with the exported image. --clouddomain=cloud-domain Specifies the availability domain to use for the VM instance. Enter the full name of the availability domain. --clouddisksize=disk-size-in-GB Specifies the amount of disk space, in gigabytes, to use for the exported disk image. Valid values are from 50 GB to 300 GB. --cloudbucket=bucket-name Specifies the bucket in which to store uploaded files. In &oci;, a bucket is a logical container for storing objects. --cloudocivcn=OCI-VCN-ID Specifies the OCID of the virtual cloud network (VCN) to use for the VM instance. --cloudocisubnet=OCI-subnet-ID Specifies the OCID of the VCN subnet to use for the VM instance. --cloudkeepobject=true | false Specifies whether to store the exported disk image in Oracle Object Storage. --cloudlaunchinstance=true | false Specifies whether to start the VM instance after the export to &oci; completes. --cloudlaunchinstance=EMULATED | PARAVIRTUALIZED Specifies the launch mode used for the instance. Paravirtualized mode gives improved performance. --cloudpublicip=true | false Specifies whether to enable a public IP address for the VM instance. The following example shows how to export the myVM VM to &oci;. The command's option arguments describe the configuration of the myVM_Cloud VM in &oci;. # VBoxManage export myVM --output=OCI:// --cloud=0 --vmname=myVM_Cloud \ --cloudprofile="standard user" --cloudbucket=myBucket \ --cloudshape=VM.Standard2.1 --clouddomain=US-ASHBURN-AD-1 --clouddisksize=50 \ --cloudocivcn=ocid1.vcn.oc1.iad.aaaa... --cloudocisubnet=ocid1.subnet.oc1.iad.aaaa... \ --cloudkeepobject=true --cloudlaunchinstance=true --cloudpublicip=true
