similar to: VM cloning with memory state

Hi Kashyap, Thanks for your answer! Unfortunately my use case requires cloning the exact memory state, so I won't be able to use virt-sysprep. But the snapshot command looks like something I could use. Could you suggest how to proceed and create/start a new vm from that snapshot?

Morning, I have a KVM guest running Win 2012 with MS SQL 2012. In order to provide a quick method of restoring the service should the live server die, we've decided to clone it to a preserved state. Ideally, this clone should also be kept up to date and cloning should be done on a regular basis. Is there any reason not to do unattended cloning? As in, when I leave on a Friday afternoon,

Hi all, I started studying xen to implement some HA cluster hosting multiple guests. I am realizing that xen does not provide any native way to hot-clone or hot-backup a guest. Am I right ? Is there any way to how backup a virtual machine? Or is suspend - copy - resume the only possible tecnique ? Is there any way to clone a virtual machine? Do vm snapshots exists? Thank you for every answer!

Hi, My use case involves creating duplicates of saved virtual machines. Tried with virt-manager and with virsh but so far it seems like this case is not supported by these tools. Does anyone know how I could achieve the above? Thanks, Michael

While I realize you want to trivially clone VMs with some state at random point in time, you might want to look into `virt-builder` about cloning VMs. It has some sensible advice: http://libguestfs.org/virt-builder.1.html#clones Using

Simon, To add on to this question: Is it possible to run a VM (RHEL 5.2) which I had created on XCP 0.5 on XCP 1.0 whenever it is released?

Greetings, I am running a test automation service which makes use of QEMU/KVM. As the tests run for few minutes, the time spent booting the OS (Windows) is quite a waste of resources so I decided to play a bit around the idea of hot cloning running VMs. Following an old discussion I found, I proceeded with saving the VM state through virsh save, edit its XML file with virsh save-image-edit and

Hi, I have a strange issue here. I have a large message of a svn commit and the message is cloning itself more and more. I've deleted it several time completely but it doesn't go away. http://www.cynapses.org/tmp/dovecot.png How can I debug it? Thanks, -- andreas milliways:~ # dovecot -n # 1.0.5: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S

This patch changes taskomatic so it only sets the VM to shutdown if the undefine succeeds. Otherwise it's possible a shutdown event could not succeed, or take a while as it often does, giving confusing messages to the user. Basically we're just letting dbomatic handle it now.

Good day everyone - This maybe somewhat OT, but I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good tool for cloning *nix drives. The one thing though is that I will be cloning a smaller drive than the destination drive and would like to distribute the free space accordingly on the new drive. Can anyone recommend anything? Thanks in advance. :::::::::::::::::::::: Dustin

So, I have a CentOS 6 system, and I want to make several clones of it. I'm using Clonezilla to clone the drives; that's no problem. But the drive UUIDs are driving me up the wall. After cloning, the two drives have the same UUID, but I'd like each clone to have different UUIDs so there's no possibility of a conflict when I am running diagnostics with two drives installed, etc.

Hello: I've been using EXT3 for awhile with Slackware Linux. I setup a master drive and I've been cloning it to identical hard drives using a hardware cloning device. My new batch of hard drives are a different size, so I can't use the hardware cloner. Is there any way to move the drive to a new, larger drive short of re-installing everything from scratch to make a new master?

Please reply-all so that the thread is kept on llvmdev. The LLVM Programmer's Manual has examples of how to iterate over many common structures, such as instructions in a basic block[1]. Other than that, you can check the source code or doxygen[2]. Basically, you loop over the instructions as detailed in the programmer's manual[1], and loop over the operands using User's

Hello everybody. I'm quite new to LLVM and I'm encontering problems with cloning basic blocks. My two basic blocks are in the same function and it doesn't really matter how the cloned one behave for the moment. Of course, to do so, I used the cloning.h 's method "CloneBasicBlock" but I have the "Instruction does not dominate all uses!" error. I know what it

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I finally got around to testing this approach (round tripping through bitcode in memory) and it works beautifully - and isn't that much slower than cloning. I have noticed however that the copy process isn't thread-safe. The problem is that in Function, there is lazy initialization code for arguments: void CheckLazyArguments() const { if

Hi, I want to take snapshots of a iSCSI devices from a target that hasn't snapshot/cloning capabilities (it's a Infortrend A16E storage array). What method are you using to make snapshots/clones of iSCSI targets using Open-iSCSI + CentOS? What about using Open-iSCSI + LVM snapshots system? For example: - Take a LVM snapshot in the initiator with "lvcreate". - Give read-only
