Another option is to shutdown the Engine and create a Gluster snapshot.Yet, this requires Gluster with thin-LVM based bricks.

Part of that is the XML of the HE VM should be intact, so currently I am consideringhttps://libvirt.org/kbase/live_full_disk_backup.html#full-back... and https://gist.github.com/cabal95/e36c06e716d3328b512   BR, Konstantin _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- users(a)ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave(a)ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/6ZT6UPL73EC...
