Hi All,

Live snapshots is support from qemu 1.1. However, qemu 1.1 is not
included in Fedora 17 or Ovirt-node.

Besides the Virt-preview repo, when is qemu 1.1 expected?
Effectively,
there is still no live snapshot support in Ovirt 3.1

The oVirt 3.1 management platform supports live snapshots if you have
a qemu release that does.

Fedora *doesn't update it's qemu mid-release* - so you have 3 choices
Thank you Andrew, that was a much clearer answer then was given before
when I asked it. That was what I wanted to know.

- use the virt-preview repo
- wait for F18
When F17 was released, it took a while for oVirt to be available. Is it
going to be more or less the same for F18?

Hi Karli,

can you please elaborate - ovirt 3.0 was part of F17.
we are planning to push ovirt 3.1 to F18.
(still probably missing the web parts due to missing deps, which you
will need to install from an ovirt repo, rather than out of the box fedora).

Yes, I meant by using your repo to install, as instructed on ovirt.org<http://ovirt.org> website.

On a sidenote, oVirt missing webadmin and userportal in F17 OOTB wasn´t at all what I expected when I read "now shipping with oVirt" in F17´s release notes, which got me very excited. But then I had a little WTF!? moment after install and noticed that you couldn´t actually do anything with it:) Besides scripting through API of course. But it left me feeling a little bit fooled, you know.
With live snapshotting, it´s the same deal. There shouldn´t be any "ifs" to it. You have live snapshots "if". Better to say straight up that live snapshotting will be supported after you have working release of oVirt for F18, in my opinion. And then say, "But you can help us test it right now, if you enable the "Virtualization Preview Repository". Make sure to buckle up".
