Hello,
I’m planning to install Oracle 11g on a VM inside oVirt. I already knew about the licensing hell of running Oracle 11g on a virtualized environment.
The question is about snapshotting Oracle 11gb when the VM is running. Is this supported?
Supported by ovirt, not sure that by Oracle :-)
For example, on VMware and XenServer there’s the quiesce option to make the filesystem, with a little help from the guest agent, to be in an a good state for snapshots. But in oVirt, how this is handled? If supported, which operating systems are compatible with the feature?
In ovirt we use libvirt's virDomainFSFreeze[1] and virDomainFSThaw[2] to freeze guest file systems during a snapshot. On the guest side this uses qemu guest agent (which you must install), to run application specific scripts when freezing or thawing the file systems[3]. I guess oracle or someone an provide scripts to hook to qemu-guest-agent, or you can write them yourself base on oracle documentation.
