My question is this: If you have an ongoing blockcopy (drive-mirror) of a running transient VM, and the VM kernel panics, can you restart the VM without interrupting the ongoing blockcopy? A virsh reboot won't work since if the VM is kernel panicked, its not going to respond to ACPI requests.

Hello, I'm seeking the solution to live storage migration using blockcopy. Previously, the "virsh undefine" is required before blockcopy. https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvirt-users/2015-October/msg00027.html QEMU has "block-dirty-bitmap-*" operations now, are there steps for the live storage migration using blockcopy without undefine? By the way, why's the purpose

What does this mean? Will I loose anything if - for example - there is not enough space on

I am experimenting with the blockcopy command, and after figuring out how to integrate qemu-nbd, nbd-client and dumpxml/undefine/blockcopy/define/et. al. I have one remaining question: What's the point? The "replication" disk file is not, from what I can ascertain, bootable. I expect this operation to create a pristine copy of my source qcow2 file (at a given point in time)

Hi, ALL, I just look for the class and method to use blockcopy in libvirt-java on this page: http://libvirt.org/sources/java/javadoc/ However, I can not find out. Libvirt-java Support blockcopy ? Thanks. Best Regards, Star Guo

Sadly, this is not yet possible. There is work being done in upstream qemu to add persistent bitmap support, and the libvirt would have to be

Is that true? Undefining the VM will not be necessary after two things happen: 1. qemu supports persistent
