Hello folks,

If I give command to take external disk-only live snapshot, such as # virsh snapshot-create-as vm1 snapshot_vm1 --disk-only

will the guest OS be paused or suspend while the snapshot being taken?

The guest will temporarily pause, but the time that it remains paused will be a fraction of a second. In practice, it is no longer than the time that the guest is paused when doing live migration. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
