I have tried new SC-OVM plugin - works nicely, but during "xm pause" I loose 2-3 pings (or the response time is 5-9 s if no ping is lost), so it's unusable for production systems in 24x7 mode.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Do you have any other idea, how to get extfs4 consistent snapshots of OS partitions (that is what the customer wants to "backup")? I can use RDM disks for every VM OS partition and create snapshot on controller using SSH from linux VM, before SSH I can call "sync; sync; sync" to empy as much cache as possible...</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Thanks a lot for advices in advance.</P><P>Rostislav</P> Wed, 04 Jun 2025 23:52:56 GMT pilkar 2025-06-04T23:52:56Z https://community.netapp.com/t5/Data-Protection/Snap-Creator-on-OVM/m-p/107073#M81 <P>Hello,</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>IHAC using OVM and would like to use SC for creating snapshots of linux VMs (system partitions).
