similar to: virsh snapshot-create --print-xml seems to ignore most arguments

Hi! I was reading the Wiki about 'Live Disk Backup with Active Blockcommit, https://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Live-disk-backup-with-active-blockcommit and see that example shown seems to be using two different names for the same file. First showing the current block device in use: $ virsh domblklist vm1 Target Source ------------------------------------------------ vda

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

Thank you! But snapshot-create-as will traverse all disks of the virtual machine and create snapshots for all of them. In my case, I want to create snapshot for root disk. What's more. I understand "--diskspec" is a description of the disk. Do you mean it's used to specify a single disk to snapshot. 在 2013-06-26 09:10:31，"Gao Yongwei" <itxx00@gmail.com> 写道：

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, 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

I don’t see any obvious setting to change the wrap. Thanks for being accommodating; this was indeed easier to read (alas, many web mailers these days lack settings for automatic wrap, so I end up whacking the

Hi Kashyap Chamarthy: thank you very much for answer my question: 一： lead to VM filesystem becoming read-only 1： test case it lead to VM filesystem becoming read-only test case as follows: we want to snapshot for VM , to obtain VM incremental data，and use virsh blockcommit，qemu-img commit，qemu-img rebase to shorten snapshot chain. Details are as follows（when VM running state， we perform the

Hi, Can you try this command: virsh snapshot-delete serv1r2 snap --metadata On Wed, Aug 23, 2017 at 4:41 PM, Doug Hughes <doug.hughes@keystonenap.com> wrote: > I'm not sure how this snapshot got created, but, I cannot delete it, and > its presence prevents me from creating other snapshots.

Hi, I'm trying to create a snapshot on a specific disk by using diskspec option. However, libvirt/virsh seems to ignore it and takes a snapshot of all disks. Am I using this option incorrectly? In below examples, I'm trying to snapshot only vdb. However even vda is getting snapshotted regardless of diskspec. Is this a known issue? I'm on CentOS 7.1, libvirtd (libvirt) 1.2.8, virsh

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

I had the same problem yesterday. I found the solution from this article https://kashyapc.fedorapeople.org/virt/lc-2012/snapshots-handout.html. According to the article it deletes the tracking metadata by libvirt. You can physically remove the snapshot now that there is no tracking stream data by libvirt On Wed, Aug 23, 2017 at 4:56 PM, Doug Hughes <doug.hughes@keystonenap.com> wrote:

Hi (Eric?), A couple of questions while using the 'virsh blockpull' Summary: 1] Created snapshots this way: base<-snap1<-snap2<-snap3 (online, external snapshot --disk-only) 2] I did a 'virsh blockpull' from snap2 into snap3 3] Next, did another 'virsh blockpull' from snap1 into snap3 - Here, 'qemu-img info /path/to/snap3' shows its backing file
