Thank you so much for your informative response. The man page of virsh did not include "snapshot=no" sub-option under the --diskspec option, but it is very intuitive. Thanks developers for their excellent work!

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

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, 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

I scripted the creation of snapshots and it works fine. Now I'd like to run the script as non-root. virsh snapshot-create-as --domain hq-live-v01 \      --name snappy \      --diskspec vda,file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/hq-live-v01.snappy,snapshot=external \      --diskspec vdb,file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/hq-live-storage.snappy,snapshot=external \      --disk-only --quiesce --atomic This

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?

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

Hello, I did a virsh snapshot-create-as --domain meta sn1 --diskspec vda,file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/meta-sn1.qcow2 --disk-only --atomic --no-metadata Then I successfully blockcommitted 2 disks: virsh blockcommit meta vda --active --verbose --pivot virsh blockcommit meta vdb --active --verbose --pivot But when doing virsh blockcommit meta vdc --active --verbose --pivot I got: Block commit:

Thank you for your help! 1, i used vda as install disk and vdb as target disk, because i boot from the first. After setup boot order flag i was able change install disk to vdb and target disk to vda. With this configuration when i boot from vdb i can install OS with grub and after it redefine XML without vdb without problem. Thanks a lot. 2, maybe i have something wrong, but still not working:

I never thought I'd say this, but I think it's easier to do this with GRUB 2. Anyway I did an installation to raid1's in CentOS 6's installer, which still uses GRUB legacy. I tested removing each of the two devices and it still boots. These are the commands in its log: : Running... ['/sbin/grub-install', '--just-copy'] : Running... ['/sbin/grub',

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>
