<div dir="ltr"><div>I have two CentOS 6.5 Ovirt hosts (ovirt001, ovirt002)</div><div><br></div>I've installed the applicable qemu-kvm-rhev packages from this site: <a href="http://www.dreyou.org/ovirt/vdsm32/Packages/" target="_blank">http://www.dreyou.org/ovirt/vdsm32/Packages/</a> on ovirt002.<div>
<br></div><div>On ovirt001 if I take a live snapshot:</div><div><br></div><div><div title="" style="outline-style:none"><div>Snapshot 'test qemu-kvm' creation for VM 'snapshot-test' was initiated by admin@internal.</div>

<div><div title="" style="outline-style:none"><div>Failed to complete snapshot 'test qemu-kvm' creation for VM 'snapshot-test'.</div><div>
The VM is then started, and the status for the snapshot changes to OK.</div><div><br></div><div>On ovirt002 (with the packages from dreyou) I don't get any messages about a snapshot failing, but my VM is still paused to complete the snapshot. Is there something else other than the qemu-kvm-rhev packages that would enable this functionality?</div>
<div><br></div><div>I've looked for some information on when the packages would be built as required in the CentOS repos, but I don't see anything definitive.</div>

</div><div><br></div><div>Also, another thread here: <a href="http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.ovirt.arch/1618" target="_blank">http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.ovirt.arch/1618</a> same maintainer, mentioning that he hasn't seen anything in the bug tracker.</div>
<div><br></div><div>There is a bug here: <a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1009100" target="_blank">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1009100</a> that seems to have ended in finding a way for qemu to expose whether it supports live snapshots, rather than figuring out how to get the CentOS team the info they need to build the packages with the proper flags set.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I have bcc'd both dreyou (packaged the qemu-kvm-rhev packages listed above) and Russ (CentOS maintainer mentioned in the other threads) if they wish to chime in and perhaps collaborate on which flags, if any, should be set for the qemu-kvm builds so we can get a CentOS bug report going and hammer this out.</div>

How would you developers, speaking for the oVirt-community, propose to<br>
solve this for CentOS _now_ ?<br>
<br>
I would imagine that the easiest way is that you build and host this one<br>
package(qemu-kvm-rhev), since you´ve basically already have the source<br>
and recipe (since you´re already providing it for RHEV anyway). Then,<br>
once that´s in place, it´s more a question of where to host the<br>
packages, in what repository. Be it your own, or some other repo set up<br>
for the SIG.<br>
<br>
This is my view, how I as a user view this issue.<br>
