Hello.

I'm trying to implement following backup scenario for my VMs:

storage domain is a volume on netapp appliance connected to oVirt cluster

via NFS3. Netapp produces its zero copy snapshots of this volume.

I want to be able to restore VMs from these snapshots, e.g.

Netapp can export snapshot to ovirt as another NFS volume after that

I want to be able to import VM or attach VM disks from snapshot volume

to VM and start it. As far as I understand it is basic backup|migration scenario

when user wants to move VMs from one ovirt DC to another ovirt DC.

Right now I cannot import snapshot volume which contains exactly same domain

metadata (in dom_dm/ directory) as original volume (which I cannot detach since

it hosts disks for running VMs). I tried to rename dom_md/, but with no success in

domain import process.

Maybe someone in this list uses same scenario for VM backup and can give some advice.
