VMs must be shut down before transferring with these commands.

Add sr-uuid= to vm-import to specify the destination SR.

CLI example:

xe vm-export uuid=<vm-uuid> filename= | ssh root@<ip-of-new-server> xe vm-import filename=/dev/stdin

xe vm-export uuid=<vm-uuid> filename= | ssh root@<ip-of-new-server> xe vm-import filename=/dev/stdin && xe vm-export uuid=<vm-uuid> filename= | ssh root@<ip-of-new-server> xe vm-import filename=/dev/stdin

CLI example:

xe template-export template-uuid=<template-uuid> filename= | ssh root@<ip-of-new-server> xe vm-import filename=/dev/stdin && xe vm-export uuid=<vm-uuid> filename= | ssh root@<ip-of-new-server> xe vm-import filename=/dev/stdin
