Hi All, I am new to LDom concept. I have some questions about snapshots using LDom.
1: IIUIC, Each Ldom can be treated as virtual machine(vmware.. not exactly same but quite similar) with its own guest os etc. Does it also support features like snapshot ? Can snapshot be taken when machine is running ? Or do we have to shut it down or at least suspend and then take the snapshot ? 2: Also from what i have read so far about LDom, we can use file,normal hard disk, LUN exported from filer as 'disk' in LDom. So What kind of snapshot possibilities we have got here ? Can we snap the entire LDom (including ldom configuration, guest OS data, memory state) in each of these cases ? Here is what i think but i am not sure. When disk is file based , it is possible. When its normal disk and have some file system like ZFS or volume manager which supports snapshot , it's possible.Otherwise its not When its LUN from filer , if filer has snapshot capabilities , it is supported. otherwise not. Also my question would be, does LDom admin tool takes care of these snapshot work in the back end? Or it is the user's responsibility to manage all these different snapshots. 3: What is the preferred way to take LDom snapshots in community ? 4:Does Ldom have suspend and resume support at machine level ? 5: Is there any way for third party application to access these snapshots and memory state ? Is there any too/library which provides interface for accessing such snapshots and other machine state (e.g memory in case of hibernation). Any links ? Thanks, Rohit
