Virtual Machine

Hi All,

In my Org we are using Xen Hypervisor on RHEL 5.Now now the biggest challenge for us is to take online snapshot of running VM Guests.But this feature is not available in Xen.

So i am trying to figure it out with some of the blogs found on net,in one blog its saying to create snapshot of LVM on which VM Guets is running then take the backup of snapshot & after that remove it.

I found the below command to create the snapshot of the VM.
Code:
lvcreate -L1G -s -n vmbackup /dev/system/xenvm

but my vm is running on the below path whic is on Netappfiler.

Code:
[root@zin45vm03 vmarea]# ll
total 14959956
-rwxr-xr-x 1 65534 systems 83886080000 May 14 21:44 New
-rwxr-xr-x 1 65534 systems   553013092 May 13 09:43 save_vm
[root@zin45vm03 vmarea]# pwd
/project/eclinuxvm/vmarea
[root@zin45vm03

Secondly i dont understand why its taking /dev/system/xenvm as vgname as my vm is stored in a file.

If any one else know other solution then please let me know.

Thnaks & Regards

Ankit
