Hi,
I use this procedure to backup my VM's:
http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Live-disk-backup-with-active-blockcommit
It works on my current host:
Compiled against library: libvirt 1.2.16
Using library: libvirt 1.2.16
Gebruikte API: QEMU 1.2.16
Draaiende hypervisor: QEMU 2.1.0
Now I'm doing a test on a testing host:
Compiled against library: libvirt 1.2.21
Using library: libvirt 1.2.21
Gebruikte API: QEMU 1.2.21
Draaiende hypervisor: QEMU 2.5.0
The first time, the active block commit failed because the block action was stuck on 100%
and I got this error:
'block copy still active: disk 'vda' not ready for pivot yet'
I did a 'virsh blockjob PCVIRT1 vda -abort' and started 'virsh blockcommit
PCVIRT1 vda --active --verbose -pivot' again. This way, the external snapshot was
commited ok.
Now I get this error when I want to create an external snapshot:
fout: internal error: kan QEMU commando 'transaction' niet uitvoeren: The feature
'snapshot' is not enabled
I can't find a lot of information about this. Some help will be appreciated.
Greetings,
Dominique.
