RE: Save data from xenserver

[Geoff Higginbottom]

Sanjeev,

Good suggestion, however if the Hypervisor in question is XenServer, the VM 
will not be listed by XenServer unless it is running, and as there appears to 
be a problem with CS, Anton cannot actually start the VM, I don’t believe it 
will be possible to take the snapshot, unless there is a backdoor hack I am not 
aware of.

Regards

Geoff Higginbottom

Hi,

Try to create snapshot from the hypervisor for the vm you want to take backup. 
You can export it and later can be used as a template in CS.

Hi,

Try to create snapshot from the hypervisor for the vm you want to take backup. 
You can export it and later can be used as a template in CS.

RE: Save data from xenserver

[Geoff Higginbottom]

Anton,

Assuming you have access to the CloudStack database, identify the ID of the VM 
by looking in the vm_instance table, searching for the name of the VM

mysql> SELECT id, name, FROM cloud.vm_instance where name="";

Or if you know the instance name such as i-5-33-VM, the VM ID will be 33 (5 is 
the account ID in this example)

Once you know the ID of the VM identify the Volume

mysql> SELECT pool_id, path FROM cloud.volumes where instance_id = 33;

The POOL_ID will tell you which Primary Storage the volume is on (look in the 
storage_pool table for details), and the PATH will tell you the name of the 
volume.

Then export the volume to a hypervisor not under the control of CloudStack, and 
mount it on a running VM, this will then allow you to access the data contained 
within it.

Regards

Geoff Higginbottom
