Hi all, is there some one who could share his own best pratics for backing up storage lun with DomU inside? While testing the right approach I have realized this situation: 1. A clustered Volume Group named "XenVG" and many Logical Volumes named "<domUname>LV"; 2. domU installed directly on the lun (for example: /dev/sdm). How could I backup them? My hardware situation is: 1 Dell MD3000i storage 3 Dell 2950 servers My software situation: 3 CentOS 5.3 clustered 3 XEN 3.3.1 Thanks all, dott.

Windows have volume shadow copy, for Linux you can have LVM on domU side (which is the default setup for RHEL domU created with virt-install). If you zfs there''s also zfs snapshot. -- Fajar _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
