Are you sure steps 1 and 2 aren’t in the wrong order? Seems like if you’re going to halt the source VM you should take your snapshot after halting. (Of course if you don’t intend to halt the VM you can just do your best to quiesce your most active writers before taking the snapshot and hope the disk is sufficiently consistent.) 1) Take a snapshot of the VM from the source Private Cloud 2) Halts the source VM (optional, but good for state consistency) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
