similar to: failed to pivot job for disk vdc

Hello, it happened with another VM: # virsh snapshot-create-as --domain rasa sn1 --diskspec vda,file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/rasa-sn1.qcow2 --disk-only --atomic --no-metadata # virsh blockcommit rasa vda --active --verbose --pivot Block commit: [100 %]error: failed to pivot job for disk vda error: block copy still active: disk 'vda' not ready for pivot yet # virsh domblklist rasa

"virsh blockjob rasa vda --abort" aborts the blockcommit and then I can try to blockcommit again: # virsh blockjob

Nerijus Baliunas <nerijus@...> writes: > How do I make vdc to be the initial disk, not the snapshot one? I powered off the VM, with "virsh edit meta" changed vdc source file from meta-pgsql.sn1 to meta-pgsql.qcow2 and started VM. Is it possible to achieve this without powering off VM? Thanks, Nerijus

Hi , Working on the simple POC : Advanced snapshot using libvirt and qemu . Following are the exact steps which are followed . 1. Created as base VM - Ubuntu 15.10 with following libvirt and qemu versions Using library: libvirt 1.2.16 Using API: QEMU 1.2.16 Running hypervisor: QEMU 2.3.0 QEMU emulator version 2.3.0 (Debian 1:2.3+dfsg-5ubuntu9.1), Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice

I have an automatic process setup. It's still pretty new and obviously in need of better error handling because now I find myself in a bad state. I run snapshot-create-as across all my vms, then do zfs replication to the target backup system, then blockcommit everything. virsh snapshot-create-as --domain $vm snap --diskspec $DISK,file=$VMPREFIX/"$vm"-snap.qcow2 --disk-only --atomic

Thanks Kashyap, The command line examples makes thing quite clear :) rsync for image (large) files create a new file for every little change, that was the reason I started looking in to using dirty bitmaps. /Jd On 10/11/14, 1:13 AM, Kashyap Chamarthy wrote: > On Fri, Oct 10, 2014 at 07:32:06PM -0600, Eric Blake wrote: >> On 10/10/2014 11:37 AM, Jd wrote: >>> Hi >>>

Hello All, I think I have seen this in previous bugs. Trying to live backup qcow2 images. I am able to virsh snapshot-create-as and virsh domblklist shows correct new source, but I am unable to commit back changes to qcow base. I get the above error. Libvirt at 1.2.2-0ubuntu13.1.17 Qemu is (2.0.0+dfsg-2ubuntu1.22) I tried compiling latest libvirt, but cannot get it to connect to socket on

Hello one and all. Got a problem with libvirt 6.2.0 and qemu 5.0.0. virsh blockcommit mymachine vda --active --verbose --pivot works until it shows [100%] but it never actually pivots. It just sits there. Is this a known issue with 6.2.0 and i should try 6.3.0? For now i switched back to qemu 4.2.0 and this seems to solve the issue too. Any hints? Ahoi! t.

Hi Eric, Thanks for the info. I see the value in this, but it isn't quite what I was looking for. Basically what I want to do is to switch between snapshots quickly. For instance, I am currently working on designing a HA SQL implementation with failover. So right now I have 5 VM's running postgresql as a replication group. I am trying a lot of different things and often have to take a

Dear Liam, You need to upgrade to the latest LTS version of Ubuntu (16.04). I refer to my message to this mailing list on 17/03/2016: Hi everybody, Following this user mailing list over a period of time, I saw a few messages regarding not being able using the external snapshot feature. I refer to this procedure: http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Live-disk-backup-with-active-blockcommit I would

Hi, Recently We've upgraded some KVM hosts from Fedora 29 to Fedora 30 and now experience broken VM configurations on filesystem after virsh blockcommit. Commands "virsh dumpxml ..." and "virsh dumpxml --inactive ..." is showing diffrent configuration than the one on filesystem. In case of restart libvirtd or system reboot, there are broken VM xml configurations on

Hi. I'm following here a conversation that was initiated on Kashyap's website [1]. We have a server we use as a host for virtual machines using KVM (virt-manager used for VM creation) and we would like to setup VM backups. Basically, we're thinking of a backup schedule like "keep 7 daily and 4 weekly backups". We'd rather not shutdown the VM every day so live backups

Dear All, using CentOS 7.2.1511, and libvirt from ovirt repositories (currently 1.2.17-13.el7_2.5, but without otherwise using ovirt) I am regularly backing up my VMs which are on qcow2 files. In general, I am trying to follow http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Live-disk-backup-with-active-blockcommit A typical backup script would be #!/bin/bash dt=`date +%y%m%d` if virsh dominfo dockers10a | grep
