Fang Wang commented on CLOUDSTACK-732:
--------------------------------------
Try to create snapshot using the MS API, it took 2-4 minutes to create, and
then failed with the following message:
"Created snapshot:
com.cloud.storage.SnapshotVO$$EnhancerByCGLIB$$17aa7fa@1f3ca72 on primary but
failed to backup on secondary"
I checked on the instances on MS, it does not list any snapshot it created;
However, on the KVM host, with the libvert API, it shows the 4 snapshots I
created with the CS MS API, but they are not on secondary storage.

> Add back KVM snapshot support
> -----------------------------
>
> Key: CLOUDSTACK-732
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-732
> Project: CloudStack
> Issue Type: Bug
> Security Level: Public(Anyone can view this level - this is the
> default.)
> Components: KVM
> Affects Versions: 4.0.0
> Environment: RHEL 6.3
> Reporter: edison su
> Assignee: Fang Wang
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 4.1.0
>
>
> In the latest KVM(on both RHEL 6.3 and Ubuntu 12.04), it supports external
> snapshot. We need to investigate the status of external snapshot, as far as I
> know, it still doesn't support disk-only snapshot(taking snapshot will pause
> VM for a long time, e.g. few minutes).
> 1. testing external snapshot: take an external snapshot instead of default
> qcow2 internal snapshot, then back it up into backup storage. Only need to
> test with libvirt snapshot API, if it works, then works, no need to hack on
> the qemu-kvm.
> 2. test how long it will pause a VM during taking snapshot. from link [2] and
> [3], only qemu-kvm-rhev supports disk-only snapshot, not sure ubuntu 12.04
> supports it or not. We need to investigate on the issue.
> If item 1 and item 2(disk-only snapshot) works, then we can support default
> kvm qcow2 snapshot again.
