CS 4.2 VM snapshot is not enabled for hypervisor type: KVM

Hello,
I'm having issues with snapshot, when trying to take a snapshot I get the
following error: "VM snapshot is not enabled for hypervisor type: VKM"

but I do have it enable in Global settings, am I missing a step?
kvm.snapshot.enabled = true,


Thanks,

Yes, I'm seeing the same. You can however snapshot the individual 
root/data disks if you go in the Storage section which is a bit "wtf".
CC-ing "dev". Anyone knows why we can't snapshot KVM VMs from the 
instance's "Details" menu? We should be able to perform live, disk-only 
snapshots from this menu.

+1 on renaming "Volume Snapshots" to "Volume Backups."

With the VM snapshot feature, I would natually treat the old Volume
Snapshot as a secondary backup solution, perhaps useful only when we want
to export the entire volume out of CloudStack.

Volume Snapshot is just taking too long, even with incremental backup
support in XenServer.

Re: CS 4.2 VM snapshot is not enabled for hypervisor type: KVM

Posted by Mice Xia <we...@gmail.com>.
Actually KVM snapshot was implemented long ago but was not merged to trunk due to 
1) it needs a modified libvirt-java (which is supposed to be included in latest release now), 
2) it is not fully tested, 
3) unable to meter the usage 
4) it has some known issue like your qcow2 disk file will grow after snapshot but will not shrink when snapshot is removed.

RE: CS 4.2 VM snapshot is not enabled for hypervisor type: KVM

Len,

+1 from me re renaming 'Volume Snapshots' to 'Volume Backups'

Why don’t you log a feature request

Subject: RE: CS 4.2 VM snapshot is not enabled for hypervisor type: KVM

I stumbled upon this feature yesterday on my XenServer cluster - I too thought that it would only work on VMWare.
I'm using XenServer 6.1 and can verify that the vm snapshot works.  I'm not running the Enterprise edition, so memory snapshots fail with a licensing error.

With this feature enabled, what I would love to see is the old style snapshots renamed to "backups" because they aren't really snapshots in the modern vmware/XenServer sense.  You can't really roll back to them, and a snapshot indicates quick point in time image of the vm, something that the old style snapshots do not do.

Well done for getting true snapshots sorted out.  This is a feature my users are very happy about.

Ryan is correct, XenServer does support VM Snapshots when using CloudStack 4.2.  Like Ryan I have been using it with XenServer 6.2 but I cannot see why it would not work with earlier versions of XenServer as long as they are licensed Enterprise versions (6.2 is now opensource)

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/VM+Snapshots does state that XenServer supports 'Memory-Disk' snapshots, but this was written prior to the release of OpenSource Citrix XenServer 6.2 which includes features previously only available in the Enterprise version.

FYI

From my experience, though, VM snapshot also supports XenServer (mine is 6.2).
It also facilitates XenServer's native snapshot capibility, and works flawlessly.
I have no idea why the release notes and admin guide ONLY mention VMware, as opposed to the wiki. :(

It also facilitates XenServer's native snapshot capibility, and works
flawlessly.
I have no idea why the release notes and admin guide ONLY mention VMware,
as opposed to the wiki. :(

RE: CS 4.2 VM snapshot is not enabled for hypervisor type: KVM

Posted by Sanjeev Neelarapu <sa...@citrix.com>.
Hi,

Instance Snapshot is only supported on VMWare. It uses VMWare native snapshot facility.
Please refer http://cloudstack.apache.org/docs/en-US/Apache_CloudStack/4.2.0/html/Admin_Guide/vm-snapshots.html

Thanks,
Sanjeev

Hi Sebastien,

I was not able to solve the snapshot issue, I can take a snapshot of a disk
but not of the "instance",  I still get the "VM snapshot is not enabled for
hypervisor type: KVM"

I enabled KVM snapshot in Global Settings, someone suggested to turn off
the instance, which I did but no success,

Thanks,

VM snapshots have a checkbox specifying if memory should also be 
snapshotted, one could assume that if left unchecked it will provide 
only a disk snapshot.

VM snapshot is not the same as volume snapshots. 
VM snapshots include memory snapshots which are not supported at KVM. You can go to the root or data disk to make volume snapshots

Hi ,
Sorry i¹m so new to cloudstack
I check the documents and see it
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/VM+Snapshots

For KVM if VM is running state, looks like no way to snapshot , you issue
could be this ?
