Storage-based Snapshots for KVM
VMs in CloudStack
About me | Slavka Peleva
● Java developer at StorPool
Storage
● Experience in software
engineering
● Development of software
solutions for telcos and
companies like Nokia
● Hobbies – winter sports, roller
blades
New feature in CloudStack
● Using Storage providers’
implementation
● VM snapshots over the
disks snapshots
Snapshots in CloudStack for KVM
● Two types of snapshots
○ VM snapshots
○ Disk/Volume snapshots
Virtual machine snapshots
● Includes - all disks, memory and virtual
machine state
● Works with libvirt
● Only qcow format
Disk/volume snapshots
● Snapshot of a single disk of the virtual machine
● Could be taken in any state of the VM
● Third party plugins
● Default implementation
Only qcow supported
● Cannot snapshot VM with raw disks
● Internal snapshots - qcow only
● VM has to be paused during the process
● Not recommended for public server
How to create consistent snapshots for
raw images
● Virtual machine has to be stopped
● Time consuming
Our solution
● Employing the underlying Storage provider’s
capability to create, revert and delete disk
snapshots
● Independent of the image format
● Consistent snapshots while VM is running
How does it work
● Global setting “kvm.vmsnapshot.enabled”
● Saves time and space
● Freeze virtual machine
● Snapshotting is asynchronous
● Unfreeze virtual machine
Backup snapshots
Primary Storage
Secondary storage
Volume Snapshot
Backup snapshot
unsupported configuration: internal snapshot for
disk vdb unsupported for storage type raw
Slow for disks in qcow format
● qemu command:
■ drive-backup
● Makes a full copy of disk
● Backup is slow for qcow images on default
implementation
Cannot take VM state and memory
● Without VM state
● Without VM memory
Works with different Storage
providers
● Works with NFS/Ceph/StorPool
● Revert of Ceph’s disks was tested with the fix #3605
'Revert Ceph/RBD Snapshot' raised and fixed by Gabriel
Beims Bräscher
What you will need?
● qemu-guest-agent on guest machine
● Drive-backup appears in qemu 1.6 version
● default qemu-kvm package on CentOS 7 -
qemu 1.5
● qemu-kvm-ev package on CentOS 7 - qemu 2.12
● qemu-kvm in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS - qemu 2.11
For everybody who uses StorPool
with CloudStack
● Group snapshot for VM with Storpool’s disks
● Do not need additional software
Thank you!
