similar to: KVM - full system ( disk+memory) snapshot by excluding the raw disks

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

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>

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>

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, 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

Hello. What it the difference in external snapshot configuration with and without <domainsnapshot> ? What is the difference between vda and vdb in the following example?

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

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, 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

Dear samba team, What I noticed from the below example is , any user who has write access to share are able to change sub folder acls in it. we don't want that. how to restrict this to only admin users in NAS and to AD administrator in windows. ?. Please help . ---------------- 1) Import user from W2K3 R2 Server and set up a secure share. User has Read/Write access. 2)

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
