similar to: Libvirt xen snapshot support?

Hi Libvirt, Does libvirt-python currently support the creation of external snapshots? I ran domain.snapshotCreateXML(xml) where xml is <domainsnapshot> <name>snap1</name> <description>Snapshot of OS install and updates</description> <disks> <disk name='vda'> <source

Hi, I'm using libvirt(1.0.0) with python, for managing virtual machines.. but while taking multiple snapshot domain is crashing... Snapshot XML ------------------------- <domainsnapshot> <name>snp1</name> <creationTime></creationTime> <description>Description</description> <state></state> <domain>

Hi, dear friend. My guest has two disks, vda and vdb. both are qcow2 local file. When guest running state. I want to take the vda snapshot of guest(just vda, no include vdb). but I met libvirt do snapshot for all disks of guest. About methods for follow: 1、 ``` bash virsh snapshot-create-as 8x0lbzvS --name sys_disk3 --disk-only --diskspec "vda,snapshot=external" ``` ``` result

Martin, Actually domain doesn't crash, but it state got changed to pause, till the snapshot action got complete. Its a time consuming process. so here is my requirement. I want to take snapshot of a Running Domain on every 3 hours,( at a later point of time It should be possible to revert to the actual domain state when I took the snapshot), I'm using libvirt APIs python bindings, there

I've been using XenServer / XCP (with the "xe" toolset) for a number of years for hosting servers used for development and free software projects and I'm now looking at migrating all those environments to libvirt / KVM. I had a look at the wiki[1] already and didn't see XenServer mentioned there. Could anybody help comment on or explain a few things: - comparison between

Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal Hi, Writting this message saddens me, but no choice... Because upstream authors (eg: Citrix) have explained that they cannot maintain the current version of XenAPI, or upgrade it to a newer version, we have no choice but to remove completely XenAPI from both Unstable and Testing. Quoting Euan Harris from Citrix (it's not needed for the FTP masters

Hello, I am a system manager of a datacenter. Is this moment, we about 30-40 xen servers running 2 or 3 domUs each of them. We are now using (standalone) xen over debian lenny. We manage each xen server independently, but we are looking for a central management console. At this moment, I have the doubt about using citrix xenserver (the free edition) or XCP. I didn''t know much

One of the issues I''ve had using XenServer in a multitenant environment is the requirement for the VMs to have xentools installed as it causes significant issues when upgrading the VM OS or the pool from one version of XenServer (XCP) to another. Having to touch hundreds VMs (by hand) after an upgrade just doesn''t scale nor is delegating the task to VM owners an option.

Hello, I am quite new on XCP. At first, i had a Xenserver server but i am looking for a full open source solution and of course I discovered XCP. Actually, i have one xenserver and one XCP server that I manage through Xencenter. I''m trying to P2V an existing ( old Mandriva ) server to XCP. I tried differents things, all without success. Boot on XCP disk to find a P2V option. ->

I have a couple of questions regarding XCP: First, there were rumblings that there are issues upgrading XCP (1.5 -> 1.6)? Any further detail on these potential issues, or what needs to be done to get around them? Second, it previous versions of XCP there were tricks that had to be played (documented on the Wiki) to make XenCenter believe that XCP was actually a modern version of XenServer,

Hi list, Saw that there''s a patch for xenserver 5.6fp1 which should fix this: http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX129267 Anybody know if/when this will happen on XCP? I have the same problem - disk usage remains the same after snapshot deletion - this is in the log on the pool master: vhd-util: libvhd::vhd_validate_footer: invalid footer cookie: ÇÇÇÇÇÇÇÇ This guy has the same

Hi, I am wondering if the --print-xml option is working correctly. The output for two snapshot-create commands are the same, even though the first one includes additional options (no-metadata and atomic). I want to use the generated XML to create a snapshot via a perl script, and Sys::Virt only seems to support snapshots using a XML description of the arguments. timos@cerberus:~$ sudo virsh

hi，guys I try to install XCP using answerfile. I made all the environment needed well, and it works well without answerfile. However, there are so many machines to be installed, so I want to install it via unattended way. So i write a answerfile by copying the example of the manual. ------------------> label xenserver-auto kernel xenserver/mboot.c32 append xenserver/xen.gz dom0_mem=752M

Hi, I faced two problems with the snapshot: First issue, I can use the snapshot functions via the virsh correctly such as snapshot-list. And when I removed the snapshot XML files from /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/snapshot/**/, I don't see the snapshot of the Virtual Machine any more. That's correct. But after I copying the XML files back, I can't see the the snapshot as well. Only if I

Hi Rob, I'm not sure you will get much pleasure out of VirtualBox on that hardware. It sits completely on top of the OS and it will grab most of the resources, even hogging from the OS. And it will run very hot. The Xen hypervisor (incl. XenServer, XCP-NG) is very resource efficient and with Linux guests (PV or PVHVM), it will run very smoothly. The same applies to KVM.

Just to throw it out there, there's also XCP-NG which is a rebranded (w/o Citrix) version of XenServer without all of the proprietary bits. The same people also produce
