Backing up RHEV VMs on NetApp SAN

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?
