[libvirt-users] qemu-img snapshot on running virtual machine
by Gionatan Danti
Hi all,
I have a question about internal qcow2 snapshots of a live/running
virtual machine taken via "qemu-img snapshot command".
My question is: is it safe to execute the command above against a
running machine? Or it will cause corruption? Naively I think it should
*not* be safe, however, I would like a direct confirmation.
Thanks.

[libvirt-users] Xen PVH Support in libvirt
by Tizian Lamatsch
Hello @ all,
i wonder if there is any support for Xen PVH (https://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_Project_Software_Overview) within libvirt.
If i parse a xen native domU config file with 'virsh domxml-from-native' in which i set type='pvh' it changes it in the libvirt xml output to normal pv.
Also the docs of libvirt do not state something like pvh.
I am currently running Xen 4.10.0 with LibVirt 4.0.0.
If it is not possible at the moment, can you please tell if this is a planned feature of libvirt?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best Regards,
Tizian

[libvirt-users] KVM or Qemu
by Jamie Fargen
List-
I know this may be slightly off topic and if so tell me to hit up the
emu-discuss mailing list, but does anyone know how to detect the difference
between a guest that is being fully emulates using qemu and a guest that is
running para-virtualized using KVM?
I have and when I inspect the CPUs I see the following....

Since it is report a Qemu cpu and Manufacturer Bochs I am suspecting that
it is qemu fully emulated vs KVM para-virtualized.

[libvirt-users] snapshot with libvirt tools or with lvm tools ?
by Lentes, Bernd
Hi,
i asked already a time ago about snapshots. I have some guests, each resides in a raw file, placed on an ext3 fs which is on top of a logical volume, for each guest a dedicated lv.
The raw is not a "must have", if there are obvious reasons i can convert them to a qcow2.
What i want is a consistent backup of each guest taken overnight. If possible i won't have downtime.
I can use the libvirt tools, but the lvm way seems to be more elegant.
Before copying the file the guests resides in i take a snapshot from the respective lv. Then i mount the snapshot and transfer it via rsync on a CIFS share.
Rsync seems to be the appropriate tool because i just transfer the changes in the file compared to the file from a day before. So i don't have to transfer complete and big raw files but just the difference.
The guest still can be running, and after the transfer of the snapshot file i just delete it, and the next night the same procedure.
What do you think ?
Bernd

[libvirt-users] About .img file while creating vm
by amey pandit
Hi,
I am trying to create vm using virsh create x.xml. But I am confused as
what is the .img file that is required.
Here is the Disk tag from my xml.
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='qcow2'/>
* <source file='/xxx/xx_vm.img'/> *
<target dev='hda'/>
</disk>
Is it .ova file that is converted to .img ?
If anybody have links or some guide related to the topic that would be
really helpful.
Thank you,
Amey
