<div> </div>
<div>thank you for your answers.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I checked the version, these are</div>
<div> </div>
<div>libvirt 1.3.1-1ubuntu10.1~cloud0</div>
<div>qemu 1:2.5+dfsg-5ubuntu10.2~cloud0</div>
<div> </div>
<div>at our installation, system is Ubuntu 14.04.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I tried also the following from [2]</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Command:
<p style="display: inline !important;">nova image-create test "snap_of_test" --poll</p>
</div>
<div><span style="font-size: 9pt;">Result: </span><span style="font-size: 9pt;">Server snapshotting... 25% completeERROR (NotFound): Image not found. (HTTP 404)</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Then I started trying step by step as in [2] but failed at the first step already:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Command:
<p style="display: inline !important;">virsh managedsave instance-00000367</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Result:</p>
<p>error: Failed to save domain instance-00000367 state<br>error: internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'migrate': Migration disabled: failed to allocate shared memory</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I also checked on the compute nodes the directories:</p>
<p><span>/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/save/</span><br><span>/var/lib/nova/instances/snapshots/</span></p>
<p>there is 257G free space and the instance only has 1GB root disk, so I think its not missing space.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So is this maybe a problem with qemu? How can i enable 'migrate' and why is it disabled?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thank you for your help.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Kind regards,<br>Michael</p>
<p> </p>

When with try to do a snapshot we get a success message, but the snapshot is only showed shortly in the imagelist with status deleted. I we shutoff the instance and then do a snapshot it is working without problems.<br>> <br>> When we use a cinder volume as root disk instead an ephermal root disk a volume snapshot could be made without problem in running state of the instance.<br>> <br>> The same behaviour we have on an other installation of mitaka from our colleagues.<br>> <br>> Is this behaviour normal in Mitaka or ist this maybe a bug? Because in Juno we could do snapshots from running instances without problems.<br>> <br>> <br>> Regards, <br>> Michael<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> Michael Stang<br>> Laboringenieur, Dipl. Inf.
