|
|---|
| 8 | The following describes the sequence of events when you import
|
|---|
| 9 | an instance from Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
|
|---|
| 10 | </p>
|
|---|
| 11 | <ul>
|
|---|
| 12 | <li>
|
|---|
| 13 | <p>
|
|---|
| 14 | A custom image is created from the boot volume of the
|
|---|
| 15 | instance.
|
|---|
| 16 | </p>
|
|---|
| 17 | </li>
|
|---|
| 18 | <li>
|
|---|
| 19 | <p>
|
|---|
| 20 | The custom image is exported to an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure object and is
|
|---|
| 21 | stored using Object Storage in the bucket specified by the
|
|---|
| 22 | user.
|
|---|
| 23 | </p>
|
|---|
| 24 | </li>
|
|---|
| 25 | <li>
|
|---|
| 26 | <p>
|
|---|
| 27 | The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure object is downloaded to the local host. The
|
|---|
| 28 | object is a TAR archive which contains a boot volume of
|
|---|
| 29 | the instance in QCOW2 format and a JSON file containing
|
|---|
| 30 | metadata related to the instance.
|
|---|
| 31 | </p>
|
|---|
| 32 | </li>
|
|---|
| 33 | <li>
|
|---|
| 34 | <p>
|
|---|
| 35 | The boot volume of the instance is extracted from the
|
|---|
| 36 | archive and a new VMDK image is created by converting the
|
|---|
| 37 | boot volume into the VMDK format. The VMDK image is
|
|---|
| 38 | registered with Oracle VM VirtualBox.
|
|---|
| 39 | </p>
|
|---|
| 40 | </li>
|
|---|
| 41 | <li>
|
|---|
| 42 | <p>
|
|---|
| 43 | A new VM is created using the VMDK image for the cloud
|
|---|
| 44 | instance.
|
|---|
| 45 | </p>
|
|---|
| 46 | <p>
|
|---|
| 47 | By default, the new VM is not started after import from
|
|---|
| 48 | Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
|
|---|
| 49 | </p>
|
|---|
| 50 | </li>
|
|---|
| 51 | <li>
|
|---|
| 52 | <p>
|
|---|
| 53 | The downloaded TAR archive is deleted after a successful
|
|---|
| 54 | import.
|
|---|
| 55 | </p>
|
|---|
| 56 | </li>
|
|---|
| 57 | </ul>
