Thank you Andrei, I will do look that up, I am nervous about this operation. I wonder why did you go to KVM hypervisor? we're having issues, our network is not stable. I could not take snapshots of VMs. At this point we build a cluster with XenServer hypervisor and we really like to go into production.
Any advise? by the way our current version is CloudStack 4.2.1, I believe snapshots are working in 4.3. I may try to upgrade to Cloudstack 4.4. Do you know if we can upgrade from 4.2 to 4.4? (skip a version) Thanks, On Sat, Aug 2, 2014 at 3:29 AM, Andrei Mikhailovsky <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I have migrated the other way without any issues.
