Hi folks,
I do not understand this as the virtual machine image is stored
wherever it is configured in the virtual machine config file - and
what does it have to do with snapshots (i. e. what is a "snapshot
directory")?
The snapshot directory is the directory into which vm.sh will "virsh
save" the memory contents of the guest when shutting it down (when
use_virsh="1" at least). As I understand it, during rgmanager (or
clusvcadm -d) activities, the vm is saved to the snapshot directory
and restored from the file in that directory - if it exists.
Somewhat unrelated; I'd love to have a parameter that defines the
"stop" action as either "snapshot" or "shutdown". It takes a long time
to snapshot 10 guests to a gfs2 file system and the restore
functionality does a valiant effort, but the Linux kernel does not
seem to like being restored as of yet (the guest usually hangs after a
seemingly arbitrary amount of time). As a result, my innodb based
tables get a little cranky from the interruption/crash.
