Cómo crear un snapshot de una máquina virtual KVM?

Resolution

  • En Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, ofrecemos una herramienta para crear snapshots de máquinas virtuales KVM. Tenga en cuenta que la instantánea debe basarse en disco de tipo qcow2.

1. Instalar paquete qemu-img.

  # yum install qemu-img

2. Antes de crear un snapshot para una maquina virtual por favor apague la primeramente.

  # qemu-img snapshot -c [tag-of-snapshot] [path-to-vm-image]

Por ejemplo, Deseo crear un snapshot despues de la configuracion de DHCP service:

  # qemu-img snapshot -c rhel61_with_dhcp_done /data/vm-images/rhel61.img

3. Aplicar un snapshot (regresar el estado salvado del disco). Use la option -l option para checar snapshots que tenemos ahora:

  # qemu-img snapshot -l [path-to-vm-image]

Entonces elija aplicar el snapshot a la vm.

  # qemu-img snapshot -a [tag-of-snapshot] [path-to-vm-image]
