Hi Guys,

so we have built a Cluster with a few CentOS7 CS Nodes with KVM as the 
Hypervisor AND Ceph as Primary Storage in a hyperconverged way and we got 
something interesting, maybe some of you have an idea whats up with that. As 
KVM works with QCOW2 Image Format for its VMs, all of the Storage Volumes and 
Templates are QCOW2 Files. However trying to take a Snapshot including RAM ends 
with the error "We only support create vm snapshots from vm with QCOW2 image". 
Trying a "virsh snapshot-create [vm-id]" brings us "error: unsupported 
configuration: internal snapshot for disk vda unsupported for storage type 
raw". The qemu.log states "-drive [...] format=raw [...]" and the according XML 
file of the VM of course says the same.

Do you have experience in getting Snapshots to work with KVM and Ceph in CS?

Many thanks in advance and best regards from Germany

Vincent
