Dag,

VM Snapshots (both disk and memory) are supported on KVM if you have NFS as 
your primary storage.


See PR https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/977 that was merged for 4.10.

Hi Asai,

You can't do *VM* snapshots - but you can do live *volume* snapshots once you 
set kvm.snapshot.enabled=true.

    Greetings,

    We successfully upgraded to 4.11.1.  One of the main reasons we did this 
was that we thought this would enable us to do live KVM snapshots of running 
VMs.  This doesn’t seem to be the case, though.  When I try to snapshot a 
running VM, I just get the message: "KVM VM does not allow to take a disk-only 
snapshot when VM is in running state"

    Is there a way currently to do this with Cloudstack and KVM VMs?

    Asai
