Memory+Disk snapshot support for KVM
Hi all,
I need to figure out whether Cloudstack supports both memory and disk
snapshots with KVM hypervisor. I read the following wiki article at it says
Cloudstack supports KVM memory snapshot.
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/VM+Snapshots
But in the following thread on Cloudstack dev mailing lists says that full
VM snapshot support(disk+memory) is still not there for KVM hypervisor.
https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/cloudstack-dev/201411.mbox/browser
Is it possible to take VM memory and disk snapshots with KVM hypervisor in
Cloudstack?
Thank you.

Hi,
Currently ACS does not support VM snapshots for KVM, it's a much desired feature, but yet to be implemented.
You can do volume snapshots however.
