libvirt users - Jun 2014 - Reg : How to boot the external system checkpoint snapshots using KVM

Hi Team,

I have created a  "External system checkpoint snapshot" using the
following link.

http://kashyapc.fedorapeople.org/virt/external-system-checkpoint-snapshot.txt

The disk and ram snapshot has been created successfully. The disk snapshot
have the QCOW2 file format,I tried to boot the disk snapshot (qcow2)file
using the KVM but it throws the error *" No bootable disk availble"*
message, also i tried to revert the snapshot it throws the *"external
snapshot revert not yet supported"* error message.

Versions details:
---------------

Libvirt - 1.0.5 (compiled)
Ubuntu - 12.04

I had the following doubts on snapshots.

1. It is possible to directly boot the external system check point
snapshots ???

2. Snapshot boot is supported in libvirt kvm ?

3. If  snapshot boot is possible, what are the steps to do ?

can you please advice me .. Thanks in advance....

Please get back to me if you need any other clarifications...
