You need to adapt this script to work for your environment. # Download System Rescue CD from http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page # FAQ # Q: Why do I want to write this cloning script when there are many open source cloning software available? # A: I am previously using Clonezilla. It is a very good cloning software. However, it could not detect all the # virtual machines in my LVM2 logical volumes and had to fall back on using dd to image all my domUs, # which resulted in an enormous 300 GB (!) backup image set and an extremely lengthy cloning process of # 7 hours. Clonezilla is very good for LVs which only contain filesystems, but not for LVs which contain # virtual machines with MBR, partition geometries and full fledged operating systems. It is very diffcult # to image nested logical volumes, i.e. logical volumes within logical volumes. And the PV within a LV is # the barrier. So it is not Clonezilla's fault. Anybody who knows how to activate all the logical volumes # of all the volume groups within LVM2 physical volumes inside a logical volume hosting a virtual machine, # please share your knowledge with me. Thank you very much. # No. of QC Checks Performed on this backup script: 1 ############################################################################################################### # Declare Variables ############################################################################################################### HARDDISK=/dev/sda DEST=/media/hitachi/test FSA_COMPLEVEL=9 PROCESSOR_CORES=2 GZIP_COMPLEVEL=fast PARTIMAGE_COMPLEVEL=1 ############################################################################################################### # Create Storage Directory for Backup Images ############################################################################################################### if [ ! -d $DEST ] then mkdir -p $DEST fi ############################################################################################################### ############################################################################################################### # Cloning Xen Host/Dom0 ############################################################################################################### ############################################################################################################### # Backup MBR dd if=$HARDDISK of=$DEST/f11-xen-dom0-sda.mbr bs=512 count=1 # Backup Partition Geometry sfdisk -d $HARDDISK > $DEST/f11-xen-dom0-partition-geometry-sda.sfdisk # Activate all logical volumes in all volume groups vgchange -ay # Backup UUIDs of PVs pvdisplay > $DEST/f11-xen-dom0-pvdisplay.txt # Backup LVM2 Metadata for All Volume Groups # Backup the configuration of dedicated volume group for dom0 vgcfgbackup -d -v vg_fedora11_host -f $DEST/vg_fedora11_host-vgcfg.lvm2.metadata # Backup the configuration of dedicated volume group for domUs vgcfgbackup -d -v virtualmachines -f $DEST/virtualmachines-vgcfg.lvm2.metadata # Backup /boot partition and all logical volumes of dedicated volume group for host/dom0 fsarchiver savefs -v -z $FSA_COMPLEVEL -j $PROCESSOR_CORES $DEST/f11-xen-dom0-filesystems.fsa /dev/sda1 \ /dev/vg_fedora11_host/lv_home /dev/vg_fedora11_host/lv_root /dev/vg_fedora11_host/lv_var ############################################################################################################### ############################################################################################################### # Cloning Xen-based Virtual Machines/DomUs/Guest Operating Systems/VMs ############################################################################################################### ############################################################################################################### # The following 8 virtual machines have LVM2 physical volumes, so it is not possible to image using partimage # or fsarchiver directly, as both do not support PVs.
