similar to: snapshot with libvirt tools or with lvm tools ?

Hi, i'd like to create snapshots of my running vm's. I have several hosts with SLES11 SP4 64bit. I use libvirt 1.2.5-7.1 . VM's are Windows 7, SLES, Ubuntu, Opensuse. I use raw files for the vm's. I try to orientate myself by http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Live-disk-backup-with-active-blockcommit . The hosts are backuped every night by a network based backup solution (Legato). My

Hi, i have some virtual machines running on logical volumes formatted with OCFS2. I'd like to snapshot the running guests to backup them easily afterwards. The files of the guests are big (100 - 300GB), but the content changes only slowly. So i thought that rsync would be a great benefit because it justs transfers the difference between the current file and the one backuped one day before. I

Hi, currently i'm following https://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Live-disk-backup-with-active-blockcommit. I 'm playing around with it and it seems to be quite nice. What i want is a daily consistent backup of my image file of the guest. I have the idea of the following procedure: - Shutdown the guest (i can live with a downtime of a few minutes, it will happen in the night). And i think

Hi, i'd like to establish a HA-Cluster with two nodes. My services will run inside vm's, the vm's are stored on a FC SAN, so every host has access to the vm's. But how can i keep the config files (xml-files under /etc/libvirt/qemu) synchronised ? Is there a possibility to store the config files somewhere else ? E.g. a partitition with ocfs2 on the SAN ? If not, what would you do

Hi, This commit (I?m using the mirror to have a working link) broke C++11 compilation. Before (and still now, according to the comments in the configure script), it?s sufficient to just have ?SystemRequirements: C++11? in the DESCRIPTION file. But now ?R CMD install? fails with ?C++11 standard requested but CXX11 is not defined?, which is, according to the documentation , a lie. I can?t

Hi! Well, my linux distribution has very recent versions of everything, so a working C++11 compiler exists: $ gcc --version | head -n1 gcc (GCC) 6.3.1 20170306 Could wrong ./configure options be at fault here? See: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=r-devel#n40 My sessionInfo(): $ R-devel --slave -e 'sessionInfo()' | head -n3 R Under development (unstable)

Sure, in the mail you quoted, I

Hi, i have a weird problem. I have a vm (KVM) which seems to run fine. I believe the respective config file for this vm is /etc/libvirt/qemu/MausDB.xml. This is it: ========================================================= <domain type='kvm'> <name>MausDB</name> <uuid>d4c7956c-b57f-967a-0454-99835a3a740b</uuid> <memory

Hi, i read that virsh uses internally qemu-img (http://serverfault.com/questions/692435/qemu-img-snapshot-on-live-vm). Is that true ? so snapshotting a running vm with virsh or qemu-img is the same ?

Hi, i have a two node cluster with virtual guests as resources. I'd like to snapshot the guests once in the night and thought i had a procedure. But i realize that things in a cluster are a bit more complicated than expected :-)) I will shutdown the guests to have a clean snapshot. I can shutdown the guests via pacemaker. But then arises the first problem: When i issue a "virsh

Hi, i have several vm's running on KVM hosts. Recently i found out that the time in the log-files of the guests (/var/log/libvirt/qemu/xxx.log) is wrong. The time on the guest itself is right, just the time in the log-files is one hour back. Windows and linux vm's are affected. Also on another host the same. Changing the clock offset does not have any influence, still the wrong time in

Hi, i'm currently installing a SLES 12 64bit system. libvirt-client-1.2.5-13.3.x86_64 and libvirt-daemon-1.2.5-13.3.x86_64. Formerly I created my vm's (KVM) using a traditional bridge in my host systems, mostly SLES 11 SP3. But with SLES 12 I don't succeed. I can use the macvtap device in the host, but I like to be able to communicate between host and guest. Is the traditional bridge

Hi, i'd like to install R 2.5 on an Ubuntu 14.04. I have a special software requiring this old version. While ./configure, i get the following error: checking for mbstate_t... yes checking for X... no configure: error: --with-x=yes (default) and X11 headers/libs are not available The problem is that i don't know which headers or libraries are missing, and when i search with aptitude in
