17.4. Actions

17.4.1. Export Template Action
Copy link

The templates collection contains an export action.
The export action exports a template to an Export storage domain. A destination storage domain is specified with a storage_domain reference.
The export action reports a failed action if a virtual machine template of the same name exists in the destination domain. Set the exclusive parameter to true to change this behavior and overwrite any existing virtual machine template.

Example 17.7. Action to export a template to an export storage domain

POST /api/templates/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/export HTTP/1.1
