Backing up RHEV VMs on NetApp SAN

Latest response

 

Hi there,

 

We are about to deploy a RHEV environment with three hypervisors on our NetApp SAN via Fibre Channel.

 

One thing I have not been able to find any information about in the official docs or otherwise, is how to use LUN snapshots for backing up and restoring the virtual machines.

 

As I see it, you would need to put similar VMs in a 1-LUN storage domain, make sure they are in a consistent state at once, and then create a snapshot of the underlying LUN?

 

How would you recover just one of these VMs later?

 

Is there a more clever way of doing this?
