AW: Workflow for extracting a snapshot
Hi, it looks like the link will not be deleted. As far as I understand CS creates a symlink on secondary storage VM in /var/www/html/userdata/ to the volume itself. Is there any kind of garbage collection which deletes the symlink? I consider this as a security risk, because the volume will be downloadable forever.

AW: Workflow for extracting a snapshot
Hi, it took some time, but here are some infos I do not want to keep back: The life of a URL generated when we click on download template depends on two parameters in global settings in CCP. They are extract.url.cleanup.interval and extract.url.expiration.interval. Once the value in seconds is met after the creation of the URL it is expired, say the value of 'extract.url.expiration.interval' is 4 hours and we are generating a URL by clicking the download template now, then the URL is valid till 4 hours from now, once it is reaching the 4 hours from now it is cleaned up once the cleanup thread is run. Since the cleanup thread is run as per the 'extract.url.cleanup.interval' say 2 hours, This could run immediately after the URL is expired or even it could go upto 2 hours from the time of URL expiry. So that minimum life of URL is = extract.url.expiration.interval Maximum life of URL = extract.url.expiration.interval + extract.url.cleanup.interval I will confirm this info after some testing.

Workflow for extracting a snapshot
Hi, can somebody tell me what the best workflow is to extract snapshots? As far as I know a direct extraction of a snapshot is not possible. The VM needs to run all the time during the extraction! Here is my workflow: 1. create snapshot of volume 2. create new volume via snapshot 3. download new volume 4. delete new volume Another question is for how long will the download link be valid and will the link deleted after a while?

That looks like the correct flow, snaps cant be downloaded. The download URL expires in about 30 minutes ( I could be wrong here). On Wed, Apr 1, 2015 at 5:02 AM, S.

Re: Workflow for extracting a snapshot
Disclaimer : this is not great solution and do not try this on a production environment ... , but if you really want to create a vm or volume of a snapshot ... you can create a snapshot in xencenter and extract the snapshot as a file out , convert to vhd and upload as a new template or volume. you can do the same on vmware too thanks On Wed, Apr 1, 2015 at 11:05 AM, Ahmad Emneina aemne...@gmail.com wrote: That looks like the correct flow, snaps cant be downloaded.
