Example for VM export via REST API #1

Description

@ddemlow

This example worked for me using REST API Docs "try it" for export of a specific virdomain UUID

curl -X POST "https://10.205.15.70/rest/v1/VirDomain/dc691643-4b44-4929-b3d7-484d2f72ffe3/export" -H "accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"target\":{\"pathURI\":\"smb://administrator:password@10.205.14.33/exports/export-example\",\"definitionFileName\":\"export-example.xml\",\"compress\":true}}"

the json body used which specifies the smb path and credentials used to store the exported VM. Note that for import to work - the folder /export-example here must match the definition file name base - export-example.xml. Generally this would be the VM name for both if the export was triggered from the HC3 UI but that is not required.

 { 
	 "target": { 
		 "pathURI": "smb://administrator:password@10.205.14.33/exports/export-example", 
		 "definitionFileName": "export-example.xml", 
		 "compress": true
		 				 }
 }
