[ovirt-users] Question: Where does Ovirt stores VM snapshots?

[Fred Rolland]

Hi,

Welcome !!

The VM disks are stored on Storage Server over the network (NFS,ISCSI,FC)
[1] , unless you use Hyperconverged setup [2]

The disks snapshots are on the same location. Ovirt makes the image read
only and add a COW layer above it.

Regards,

Fred
