The following content will be the file: "docs/man/xl.snapshot.conf.pod.5" =head1 NAME xl.snapshot.cfg - XL Domain Snapshot Configuration File Syntax =head1 DESCRIPTION Without the snapshot configuration file, xl snapshot-create could create internal domain snapshot or internal disk snapshot. To create a user-defined domain snapshot, xl requires a domain snapshot config file. It is typically located at `/var/lib/xen/snapshots/UUID/snapshotdata-d.NAME.libxl-json` where UUID is the uuid of domain and the NAME is the snapshot name. See snapshot-HOWTO.txt for use cases and examples. =head1 SYNTAX A domain config file consists of a series of C<KEY=VALUE> pairs. It shares the same rules with xl.cfg =head1 OPTIONS =over 4 =item B<name="NAME"> Specifies the name of the domain snapshot. Names of snapshots existing in one domain must be unique. If it is not provided, it will be the epoch second from 1, Jan 1970. =item B<description="DESCRIPTION"> Optional. The snapshot description. =item B<creationtime="CREATIONTIME"> The creation time of this snapshot. It will be the epoch second from 1, Jan 1970. This field could not be specified by user, it will be ignored in domain snapshot creation. =item B<memory="MEMORY"> Describes the location of memory save image. This image is as same as the image in "xl save". The value could be the absolute path of the memory save image or "yes" which means `/var/lib/xen/snapshots/UUID/NAME.save`. if it is "no" or is not provied, this snapshot will be a disk only snapshot. =item B<type="TYPE"> Describes the domain snapshot type. The possible value are "internal", "external". if it is not provided, this snapshot will be a internal snapshot. Note that each disk is allowed to choice their own snapshot type which is determined by what information is provided in DISK_SPEC_STRING =item B<disk=[ "DISK_SPEC_STRING", "DISK_SPEC_STRING", ...]> The disk snapshot description. See F<docs/misc/xl-disk-configuration.txt> for rules. For internal snapshot, user should only provide vdev. For external snapshot, user should provide vdev, format and target. Format is the format of external snapshot file, only qcow2 is allowed at this time. Target is disk file after the external snapshot including absolute path. =back _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
