Hi (Eric?), A couple of questions while using the 'virsh blockpull' Summary: 1] Created snapshots this way: base<-snap1<-snap2<-snap3 (online, external snapshot --disk-only) 2] I did a 'virsh blockpull' from snap2 into snap3 3] Next, did another 'virsh blockpull' from snap1 into snap3 - Here, 'qemu-img info /path/to/snap3' shows its backing file correctly as snap1. But not 'virsh snapshot-list $domai...

...2.04. I have performed live snapshots on VMs using "virsh snapshot-create-as" and then later re-merge the images together using "virsh blockpull". I am wondering how I can do a couple of other operations on the images while the VM is running. For example, VM1 is running from the snap3 image, with the following snapshot history (backing files): [orig] <-- [snap1] <-- [snap2] <-- [snap3] 1. Can I revert VM1 to use snap2 while it is live, or must it be shutdown? After shutting it down, is the best way to revert to snap2 to just edit the xml file and change the block devi...

Hi everyone! I use the libvirt(version: 1.2.2) and QEMU(version: 2.2.1) to test qemu snapshot features: I tried virsh blockcommit when VM offline, the virsh blockcommit failed: the error messase as below: error: Requested operation is not valid: domain is not running when I start the VM, the virsh blockcommit work fine! my question is：we need

All, I have a service that takes new live KVM snapshots Si regularly, keeps a fixed number N (Si ,..,Si-N+1), and therefore needs to delete Si-N in this cycle. Until libvirt includes support for this capability that is said to be available in qemu, what is a safe workflow to delete old live KVM snapshots w/o losing data. Do I need to pause/shut down the VM? The development environment is

Hi, I'm trying to create a snapshot on a specific disk by using diskspec option. However, libvirt/virsh seems to ignore it and takes a snapshot of all disks. Am I using this option incorrectly? In below examples, I'm trying to snapshot only vdb. However even vda is getting snapshotted regardless of diskspec. Is this a known issue? I'm on CentOS 7.1, libvirtd (libvirt) 1.2.8, virsh

Hello to all; I'm looking for somebody who has tried powerbuilder 6-based apps in the newest versions of Wine (currently I'm using v0.9.57 in Debian Etch). Well, the situation is: I want to use a Sybase-based database management system, using Sql Anywhere 10 as the DB server and a powerbuilder-based app as the client. So I get the Anywhere 10 version for GNU/Linux, configure it and its
