cd transiva
./scripts/build.sh

cp config.example.yaml config.yaml
# edit config.yaml for your vSphere endpoint
./bin/hyperexport --config config.yaml
Nutanix AHV
cp config.example.yaml config.yaml
# configure nutanix.host, credentials, and nutanix.mounts (NFS container paths)

./bin/hypervisord --config config.yaml

hyperctl list --provider nutanix
hyperctl export --provider nutanix --vm web-prod-01 \
