Hi there, I'm running KVM under Openstack .

When I give virsh list command, I see some VM in NON persistent state. What does it mean? How can I move it to a persisten state ?

You can do that by running: virsh dumpxml $dom > dom.xml && virsh define dom.xml

I found that I cannot make a snapshot, from Openstack , of a machine which is in a NON PERSISTENT state.

However, I don't think it's a good idea to go behind OpenStack's back and change things. Michal
