Re: [ovirt-devel] Access to memory snapshots?
Hi Matt,
When creating a snapshot with memory, 2 additional images are created:
1. for the VM configuration/metadata
2. for the memory dump
In oVirt 3.6 and below you'll notice a field called memory_vol_handle in the snapshots
table that points to these images. It is of the follow format:
<storage_domain_id>,<storage_pool_id>,<memory_dump_disk_id>,<memory_dump_volume_id>,<memory_conf_disk_id>,<memory_conf_volume_id>
In master branch, you'll find two fields in the snapshots table called
memory_dump_disk_id and memory_metadata_disk_id that contain the disk IDs.
We plan to remove the memory_vol_handle field from the snapshots table soon, so please do
not rely on it.
Regards,
Arik

Hi everyone!
I am working on developing a plugin for the cuckoo sandbox (
http://cuckoosandbox.org ), that will allow users to select oVirt as a
virtualiztion solution. I have it working, for the most part, but one area
where I need some guidance is in retrieving memory images. I know that when
you take a snapshot, you can request that the memory be stored as well.
My issue is that I don't see a way to retrieve the memory, so that it can be
feed into analysis tools like Volatility (
http://www.volatilityfoundation.org/ ). Does anyone have any pointers for
me?
Thanks!
