[openstack-dev] [Nova][glance] Question about evacuate with no shared storage..

Hi,

At my organization we do not use a shared storage for VM disks  but need to evacuate VMs  from a HV that is down or having problems to another HV. The evacuate command only allows the evacuated VM to have the base image. What I am interested in is to create a snapshot of the VM on the down HV and then be able to use the evacuate command by specifying the snapshot for the image.

Has anyone had such a use case? Is there a command that uses snapshots in this way to recreate VM on a new HV.

Thanks for the pointers.

Sangeeta
