I have a storage backend san disks, I have five servers which is KVM hosted guests.

I am looking to clone an image of a guest machine, so I can use a new VM form the image on a different server.. 

I am not sure what the best way. But when I do that, I get a memory error, and need to xfs_repair and damages the original machine.


My steps are 

One vm machine on the same server
  • dd create original vm to template.img
  • lvcreate -L 9G -n <vol-name> <pool>
  • dd template.img to /dev/<pool>/<vol-name>
  • virsh define <vm_name>.xml
another vm machine on the secondary server
  • copy template.img to another server
  • lvcreate -L 9G -n <vol-name> <pool>
  • dd if=template.img  of=/dev/<pool>/<vol-name>
  • virsh define <vm_name>.xml

May I know the steps are missing something because both are getting corrupted. Thanks for your help.
