The first article covers reviewing your VM configuration from ACLI to identify the VM disks which are named by their UUID, and then how to collect those files using the SFTP protocol on port 2222. Here we will be using the articles “ AHV | How to access VM disk files on Nutanix container” and “ AHV | How to migrate user VMs from AHV to Hyper-V/VMware ESXi/KVM”.
If you need to export your VM from AHV to another hypervisor there is a documented procedure provided. If you have a Nutanix ESXi cluster and an AHV cluster it’s much easier to use Async DR migration since this kind of cross hypervisor DR migration is fully supported from Prism. You may be familiar with using Nutanix Move to migrate VMs into an AHV cluster, or you may have imported VMs to AHV manually following this method, but what if you want to take your VM out of your AHV cluster to use in a non-Nutanix ESXi cluster, or to deploy on Hyper-V or KVM?
