Judging by the version of QEMU it sounds like it's RHEL/CentOS. There qemu version in RHEL 6.x doesn't include live snapshots, that was added well after 0.12 and wasn't backported. If you're running RHOS or RHEV on top of RHEL 6 they come with a different version of qemu that has more features including livesnapshot and storage migration. I'm not sure if those packages are rebuilt by CentOS. > > - Cole > _______________________________________________ > virt mailing list > virt@lists.fedoraproject.org > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/virt _______________________________________________ virt mailing list virt@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/virt
