Is there any additional info anyone who needs? ________________________________ From: Samuel Thampy <samj...@hotmail.com> Sent: 03 March 2021 22:11 To: libvirt-users@redhat.com <libvirt-users@redhat.com> Subject: Issue
I have a storage backend san disks, I have five servers which is KVM hosted guests. I am looking to clone an image of a guest machine, so I can use a new VM form the image on a different server.. I am not sure what the best way. But when I do that, I get a memory error, and need to xfs_repair and damages the original machine. My steps are One vm machine on the same server * dd create original vm to template.img * lvcreate -L 9G -n <vol-name> <pool> * dd template.img to /dev/<pool>/<vol-name> * virsh define <vm_name>.xml another vm machine on the secondary server * copy template.img to another server * lvcreate -L 9G -n <vol-name> <pool> * dd if=template.img of=/dev/<pool>/<vol-name> * virsh define <vm_name>.xml May I know the steps are missing something because both are getting corrupted. Thanks for your help. Regards Samuel Thampy
