Hi Matt,
We run Cloudstack + KVM + Ceph. We haven't had any luck getting
snapshots to work but the alternative we've settled on for now is to
take snapshots of the storage volume instead of the VM itself. Restoring
from a snapshot this way is pretty cumbersome as you need to create a
template from the storage snapshot and then create a "new" VM instance
using that template.
Thanks,
Peter

Hi everyone,
I am working on a Cloudstack + KVM + Solidfire PoC and as far as I
understand it is not possible to get a VM snapshot using SF as a primary
storage.
I wanted to ask the community what is the recommended way to get a VM
snapshot when one is using Cloudstack + KVM + (some block storage solution)?
As it is crucial to provide to clients the "VM snapshot" capability I guess
there will be some sort of experience on that matter.
thanks in advance
Matt
