Dear all,
i am a little lost, i tried quite a few things with the snapshots, so
far with python scripts I can iterate through the existing machines,
take one, make a snapshot and all this.
However, there are 2 problems I can not get around:
1. even when on 3.5.1 I can not delete a snapshot on a running VM, if
I understood that correctly this relies on the Live Merge Feature
where the code is available in vdsm already but it needs a certain
libvirt version !?!? So question here is, can I delete a snapshot or
not ? can I use only the rest API not python (excuse me I am not a
developer)
I can answer this one at least. For now, Centos 7 is lacking a new
enough version of libvirt to support Live Merge (> 1.2.7). The
virt-preview repository for Fedora is shipping a newer libvirt. You
can check if vdsm will support live merge by executing the following
on the host in question:
sudo vdsClient -s 0 getVdsCaps | grep liveMerge
RHEL 7.1 will be shipping a version with the neccessary backports to
support live merge so I imagine Centos 7.1 will pick those up
automatically?
