Hello Sven and all.
Yes storage does have the snapshot function and could be possibility be
used, but I was wondering a even easier way through the oVirt Node CLI or
something similar that can use the qcow2 image snapshot to do that with the
Self-Hosted Engine in Global Maintenance.
I used to run the oVirt Engine in a Libvirt KVM Virtual Machine in a
separate Host and it has always been extremely handy to have this feature.
There has been times where the upgrade was not successfully and just
turning off the VM, starting it from snapshot saved my day.
Regards
Fernando

Hi Fernando,
depending on where you’re having your storage you could set everything to
global maintenance, stop the vm and copy the disk image. Or if your storage
systeme is able to do snapshots you could use that function once the engine
is stopped. It’s the easiest way I can think of right now. What kind of
storage are you using ?

Hello
Is it possible to snapshot the Self-Hosted Engine before an Upgrade ? If
so how ?
Thanks
Fernando
