Exporting virtual system patterns

You can export virtual system patterns from the system catalog so that you can use them on a different system.

Before you begin

You must have access to patterns, access to create patterns, or have the Workload resources administration with Full permission to complete this task.

About this task

You can export a virtual system pattern so that you can use it on a different system. When you export a pattern, the version for the pattern is preserved. You can use the console or the command-line interface to complete this task. If you use the console to export a pattern, you can export only the pattern model. To export pattern artifacts (script packages, add-ons, images, or software packages) along with the pattern, use the command-line interface instead. For information about using the command-line interface, see the Related information section.

Procedure

  1. Click Patterns > Virtual System Patterns.
  2. Click Export in the toolbar.
  3. Click Save to save the compressed file for the pattern to a local directory.
