This could be something that I have wrong or a bug ? I have installed oVirt 3.1 under CentOS 6.3 (dre repo). Also, is there any way to upgrade qemu to have the possibility of make live snapshots and exports ?! Thanks.

Hi Daniel, Thanks for your reply. Regarding the live snapshot I'm using VDSM 4.1, but I'm getting an error and looks like a qemu version problem. Could it be ?

The best way to make a VM backup is to make an export right ? Name : vdsm Arch : x86_64 Version : 4.10.0 Release : 0.42.13.el6 Size : 2.3 M Repo : installed From repo : vdsm31-dre Summary : Virtual Desktop Server Manager Name : qemu-kvm Arch : x86_64 Epoch : 2 Version : 0.12.1.2 Release : 2.295.el6_3.2 Size : 1.2 M Repo : updates Summary : Userspace component of KVM Regards.

Regarding live snapshots, if you're using VDSM 3.1 then it should work without any additional upgrading... We don't support live VM exporting yet (i.e. cloning a VM from snapshot directly to an export domain), please feel free to open a RFE on that.
