Re: [Xen-API] Create a Virtual machine with a specific UUID

[Jonathan Ludlam <Jonathan.Ludlam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mauro,

Import and export are done via http get/put.

If you do:

xe vm-export uuid=... filename=... --debug

and

xe vm-import filename=... --debug

it will output some lines indicating exactly what the URLs are that it's using.
