![]() Since a snapshot is fully recoverable, it is useful to have a snapshot as a means of hibernating a guest, then reverting to the snapshot to wake the guest up. This mode of usage is similar to 'virsh save/virsh restore', except that virsh save uses an external file while virsh snapshot keeps the vm state internal to a qcow2 file. However, it only works on persistent domains. In the usage pattern of snapshot/revert for hibernating a guest, there is no need to keep the guest running between the two points in time, especially since that would generate runtime state that would just be discarded. Add a flag to make it possible to stop the domain after the snapshot has completed. * include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in (VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_HALT): New flag. * src/libvirt.c (virDomainSnapshotCreateXML): Document it. * src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainSnapshotCreateXML) (qemuDomainSnapshotCreateActive): Implement it. |

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
