Hello,

this thread last year (started by me... ;-) was very useful in different aspects involved

We did cover memory save or not and fsfreeze automatically done by guest agent if installed inside the VM.

What about pre-snapshot scripts/operations to run inside guest, to have application consistency?

Eg if I have a database inside the VM and I have scripted my backup job involving live-snapshot (eg with the backup.py utility of the thread)  

Can I leverage this kind of functionality with the oVirt guest agent?

Or is it mandatory to consider a remote connection to the VM (via ssh or what for windows?) and execute the script/command/bat file?

What are you curently doing in this respect?

 

Thanks,

Gianluca
