Hi David, curl --user user:pwd http://localhost:3001/cimi/systems/import -X POST -d @import.xml -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -H "Accept: application/xml"
where import.xml is in your current directory with content: <Action xmlns="http://schemas.dmtf.org/cimi/1";> <action>http://schemas.dmtf.org/cimi/1/action/import</action> <source>D:\ubuntu\ubuntu.ovf</source> </Action> There may be a requirement for vsphere (I'm not sure) to have the ovf files in a subdirectory with the same name as the descriptor. The format default to "application/ovf" so no need to specify it. For export, query the CEP to find the url to list the system collection (that's where you'll also find the import url I use above), then query the system you want to export to find the export url to POST to. You'd post an XML body similar to the above one with the right action value and other elements.

Which URL should be used to import the OVF specs (e.g. http://localhost:3001/cimi/system_import)? Do I need some special HTTP Header value, like "Content-Type: application/ovf" ?
