Re: [libvirt-users] Defining VM with snapshots?

When it comes to migrating a domain with snapshots, this process of defining the snapshots manually on the destination then undefining them on the source, is still the only currently supported way (as actually migrating snapshots requires a change to the RPC protocol used to drive migration, as it requires passing potentially large amounts of data that will not fit in a single migration cookie). -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
