<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Hello Sven and all.<br><br></div>Yes storage does have the snapshot function and could be possibility be used, but I was wondering a even easier way through the oVirt Node CLI or something similar that can use the qcow2 image snapshot to do that with the Self-Hosted Engine in Global Maintenance.<br><br></div>I used to run the oVirt Engine in a Libvirt KVM Virtual Machine in a separate Host and it has always been extremely handy to have this feature. There has been times where the upgrade was not successfully and just turning off the VM, starting it from snapshot saved my day.<br><br></div>Regards<br></div>Fernando<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">2018-03-27 14:14 GMT-03:00 Sven Achtelik <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Sven.Achtelik@eps.aero" target="_blank">Sven.Achtelik@eps.aero</a>></span>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d" lang="EN-US">depending on where you’re having your storage you could set everything to global maintenance, stop the vm and copy the
disk image. Or if your storage systeme is able to do snapshots you could use that function once the engine is stopped. It’s the easiest way I can think of right now. What kind of storage are you using ?
