Error while exporting an instance

Question

Hello
I'm trying to export an instance but i got this error : An error occurred (NotExportable) when calling the CreateInstanceExportTask operation: This instance has multiple volumes attached. Please remove additional volumes.
i've checked and there is 3 storages attached to the VM. i don't know what are the use of the 2 others.

Someone can help me please.

Answer

Hello,
Exporting instances and volumes is subject to the following limitations:

#### You can't export an instance that has more than one virtual disk
  
#### You can only export EBS volumes that are specified in the block device mapping, not EBS volumes attached after instance launch.

Please refer [Exporting an instance as a VM using VM Import/Export] (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vm-import/latest/userguide/vmexport.html#vmexport-prerequisites)
