Add support for creating disk-only (no memory) snapshots in esx, and for quiescing the VM before taking the snapshot. The VMware API supports these operations directly, so adding support to libvirt is just a matter of setting the flags correctly when calling VMware. VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_DISK_ONLY and VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_QUIESCE are now valid flags for esx. --- src/esx/esx_driver.c | 14 ++++++++++---- 1 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/esx/esx_driver.c b/src/esx/esx_driver.c index fbe43c2..d69576d 100644 --- a/src/esx/esx_driver.c +++ b/src/esx/esx_driver.c @@ -4209,9 +4209,14 @@ esxDomainSnapshotCreateXML(virDomainPtr domain, const char *xmlDesc, esxVI_TaskInfoState taskInfoState; char *taskInfoErrorMessage = NULL; virDomainSnapshotPtr snapshot = NULL; + bool diskOnly = (flags & VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_DISK_ONLY) != 0; + bool quiesce = (flags & VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_QUIESCE) != 0; - /* ESX has no snapshot metadata, so this flag is trivial. */ - virCheckFlags(VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_NO_METADATA, NULL); + /* ESX supports disk-only and quiesced snapshots, but has no snapshot * + * metadata. */ + virCheckFlags(VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_DISK_ONLY | + VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_QUIESCE | + VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_NO_METADATA, NULL); if (esxVI_EnsureSession(priv->primary) < 0) { return NULL; @@ -4249,8 +4254,9 @@ esxDomainSnapshotCreateXML(virDomainPtr domain, const char *xmlDesc, if (esxVI_CreateSnapshot_Task(priv->primary, virtualMachine->obj, def->name, def->description, - esxVI_Boolean_True, - esxVI_Boolean_False, &task) < 0 || + diskOnly ? esxVI_Boolean_False : esxVI_Boolean_True, + quiesce ? esxVI_Boolean_True : esxVI_Boolean_False, + &task) < 0 || esxVI_WaitForTaskCompletion(priv->primary, task, domain->uuid, esxVI_Occurrence_RequiredItem, priv->parsedUri->autoAnswer, &taskInfoState, -- 1.7.1
