Chapter 6 Slide 2
Guided Exercise: Export and Import Virtual Machine Data and Settings
In this exercise I have 2 queries.
How the virtctl vm-export download mariadb-server command happens without creating a vm-export first .
Second point when the downloaded image is uploaded it creates a VM which boots without any rootvg or bootable disk assigned. There is only one PVC named mariadb-server. Screenshot from vmexport restored VM below:
How is this working ?? Need insights and help explaining what is happening here in ths lab exercise....
Thanks in Advance

check the image and see how when you use virtctl, it'll automatically whip up a VirtualMachineExport resource for your VM if there isn't one already. Then, it patiently waits for that export to be ready before it starts downloading your disk(s). Once the download's complete, virtctl cleans up by deleting the VirtualMachineExport object, making it seem like it was never even there in the first place
