Shutting down the VM during the export will give you a fully consistent state of the VM whereas snapshots without further help from the VM itself will only provide "crash consistency", that is provide you with a disk image equivalent to one where the power cord was plugged out of the running machine, which is usually, but not always consistent enough :)
BTW: As far as I understand the OVA export run from the engines web-gui *is* also doing a snapshot. You can see the snapshot if you have a look at the VM's disks while the export is running. -- juergen _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/site/privacy-policy/ oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/AZFLHS6IF4BJ5BKLPEH75N3GNK7ARQSV/
