Inside the data file saved I can see that there is also the xml config for
the guest embedded ....
As the VM is killed at the end of the save, can I then
- copy the disk(s) of the VM to another host
- copy the save file to another host
- restore the save on that secondary host based on the fact that it retains
the same config?
At this time, trying to restore on another host that has not the same
storage poool config gives this:
Error restoring domain '/mnt/rhel54_x86_64': internal error unable to start
guest: qemu: could not open disk image /dev/vg_qemu01/rhel53_64
and in details window:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/manager.py", line 458, in
restore_saved_callback
newconn.restore(file_to_load)
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 642, in
restore
self.vmm.restore(frm)
File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 1420, in
restore
if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainRestore() failed',
conn=self)
libvirtError: internal error unable to start guest: qemu: could not open
disk image /dev/vg_qemu01/rhel53_64
Supposing I recreate a pool with the same pointers and the hard disk of the
VM, are there other limitations/restrictions to restore on another host?
