xencenter's managed xenserver pool.

For XenServer it will be VHD files.  Make Template from VM, download it, import 
it and re-create VM from template. Should work theoretically.

Greetings all!

We currently have a XenServer 6.1 pool being managed by a CloudStack 4.1.1 
deployment. We have a client that would like to export a number of VMs so they 
can import them into their own XenServer pool. What would be the best way to 
accomplish this? I know that I can download individual volumes. Can CloudStack 
export VMs as OVFs or similar? The only reference to exporting I can find in 
the documentation is for templates. The section on exporting templates does not 
state what format they can be exported in.

Thanks in advance,
