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.

Samuel Thampy
