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 Martin, in the meantime, I've found a solution which I consider at least acceptable: 1. create zfs snapshot of domain disk (/dev/zstore/test-volume) 2. save original XML domain definition 3. create snapshot in libvirt like this: virsh snapshot-create --xmlfile snap.xml --disk-only --no-metadata test-domain snap.xml: <domainsnapshot> <disks> <disk

Hi all, I'm using ZFS on Linux block volumes as my VM storage and want to do live migrations between hypervisors. If I create ZFS snapshot of used volume on source host, send it do destination host (zfs send/recv) and then run live migration with VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_DISK flag, the migration works OK. But this procedure copies the whole disk twice which is a huge downside. The best

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

Greetings, I am developing a platform for test and debug use. The typical scenario I want to realize is the following: I run a .qcow2 image via QEMU-KVM, the running OS is not relevant. I want to take several snapshots of both Disk and RAM status; same file, separate files doesn't matter. I just need a way to have consistent information about them (better with XML description) and the data

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>

Hello, i want to start a guest OS in the server, and use spice to achieve graphical interaction with the guest OS. But when i config the XML file, i was confuse by spice . The graphic node is : <graphics type='spice' port='5990' ><listen type='address' address='127.0.0.1'/></graphics> but is has such error as below : libvir: QEMU error : internal

Hi guys, I had to move to the new laptop week ago and I screw migration of my virtual machines. I recovered my virtual machines on the new laptop (virsh define) using the backed up xml files, but I am missing any file with metadata about snapshots. The original storage is cleaned so I cannot take these files anymore. Using qemu-info I can see my snapshots inside the qcow images, but libvirt

hi ，everyone! I am a newcomer to Libvirt, and I don't know if it's a native question, I create snapshots of virtual machines that use encrypted disk, The console gave me the following error: Traceback(most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/virt/vm.py",line 4613, in snapshot self._dom,snapshotCreateXML(snapxml, snapFlags) File

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 have an oVirt engine node that currently runs the system on a qcow2 based virtual disk, and an NFS export volume on RAW. I'd like to take a snapshot before a somewhat risky upgrade of oVirt and can't with the raw image attached. Looking at the documentation for the snapshot XML, I created this XML file for the snapshot <domainsnapshot> <name>20120802</name>

I've created a very basic snapshot XML file, to allow for a description of the snapshot. However when running the virsh command, it doesn't like the formatting. # virsh snapshot-create proxy_0 /vmstore/proxy_0/proxy_0_ss.xml error: XML description for failed to parse snapshot xml document is not well formed or invalid This are the XML file contents... # cat proxy_0_ss.xml

Hi, While there are a few howtos floating around, what is the standard way to snapshot guests? I went through and converted from raw to pre allocated meta data qcow2 images for this purpose. Some howtos suggest to do an xml snapshot file as so; <domainsnapshot> <name>UbuntuServer_10.10-16032011</name> <description>Snapshot of OS install and

Hello everyone, I am trying to find a way to store an internal disk snapshot and supposed to restore later. Here is the problems I met: 1) when I use SnapshotCreateXML() to create a disk_only snapshot while the domain is inactive, there is an error happened: disk snapshot of inactive domains not implemented yet. I am wondering is there and way I can save the disk_only

Hello, I want to do a snapshot which the VM has volumes. But I want to skip the volume check when I do the snapshot. (Which means I want to do a snapshot without detaching the volume) So I try to write a snapshot XML refer by http://libvirt.org/formatsnapshot.html as following: vda is my VM basic disk (qcow2) vdb is a volume (raw) ================ t1.xml =============== <domainsnapshot>
