similar to: Live migration with non-shared ZFS volume

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

Hey When I want to take a snapshot for a Domain by using virDomainSnapshotCreateXML. The Error as below happen: libvir: QEMU error : Requested operation is not valid: Disk '/var/lib/libvirt/images/fedora-qcow.qcow2' does not support snapshotting The snapshot Configuration is : <domainsnapshot> <description>Snapshot of OS install and updates</description>

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>

No, I'm not, I'm calling it sooner: func libvirt_start() { libvirt.EventRegisterDefaultImpl() event_listen() } S pozdravom / Best regards Daniel Kucera. 2017-05-17 15:47 GMT+02:00 Daniel P.

Hi Daniel, I tried that but it doesn't work: func libvirt_close_callback(conn *libvirt.Connect, reason libvirt.ConnectCloseReason){ log.Printf("close callback: %+v", reason) } func event_listen() { log.Printf("event_listen %s", conf.Libvirt.LocalUrl) hv, err := libvirt.NewConnect(conf.Libvirt.LocalUrl) err =

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 There , I have KVM VM with 4 qcow2 disks and 2 raw disks . when I try to take full system snapshot by excluding raw disks . it is give below error . can you help me how to fix this ?. or is it possible to take full system snapshot in this case .?. When I change XMl as internal snapshots for raw disks . It throws a message snapshot are not supported on war disks .

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>

Hello, I am working on a script to automatically create live snapshots of running VMs using qemu-kvm 1.4.0 and libvirt 1.0.2. If a VM has multiple disks, I'd like to back them up individually with separate calls to snapshot-create-as, so I can more easily manage the disk images. The code I have now is essentially as follows: virsh snapshot-create-as --domain "vmname" --name

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>

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 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, 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, a problem occurred during making a snapshot for a guest, ask for help... 1. the xml for snapshotdomain like this: # cat deployment.1 <domainsnapshot> <name>a</name> <disks> <disk name='/home/qcow2/disk.0'> <driver type='qcow2'/> <source file='/home/qcow2/disk.3'/> </disk> </disks>

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

Hi all, I'm using libvirt-go and I following code to listen for lifecycle events: func event_listen() { log.Printf("event_listen %s", conf.Libvirt.LocalUrl) hv, err := libvirt.NewConnect(conf.Libvirt.LocalUrl) lifecycleCallback := func(c *libvirt.Connect, d *libvirt.Domain, event *libvirt.DomainEventLifecycle) { event_message(c, d, "lifecycle", event)
