Guys, Jeff, Lucian,
thanx a lot ... really appreciate your help!
kvm.snapshot.enabled -> true does not help. Gettting the following error
VM snapshot is not enabled for hypervisor type: KVM
One more question...
I tried to create a live snapshot with virsh command, but I did not
manage it
My attempts:
virsh snapshot-create-as i-2-18-VM i-2-18-VM-snap05 --diskspec
vda,file=/mnt/1b961429-c27f-3aa1-81be-cbdcca4e191a/snap05
error: unsupported configuration: disk 'vda' must use snapshot mode
'internal'
virsh snapshot-create-as i-2-18-VM i-2-18-VM-snap05 --diskspec
vda,file=/mnt/1b961429-c27f-3aa1-81be-cbdcca4e191a/snap05 --live
error: Operation not supported: live snapshot creation is supported only
with external checkpoints
Looks like I'm not able to create a live snapshot on this system?
virsh --version

Hello Vlad,
Cloudstack does not support KVM's live snapshot feature due to some historic as
well as current problems.
However, if you enable kvm.snapshot.enabled flag in Global Settings, you should be able
to snapshot ROOT and DATA volumes; this will enable you to take "crash consistent
backups" of them and keep them in the Secondary Storage.

Subject: Best practicies to create full snapshots (block devices + RAM) with
cloudstack
Hi Folks,
I'm searching for a solution to create full VM snapshots with
cloudstack. We are going to run cloustack with KVM, libvitrt supports
such snapshots (external snapshot).
But I'm not sure if cloudstack supports it also ...
So, what's the best aproach to create snapshots?
Thanx in advance
Vlad
