safety of LVM backups
by Rajagopal Swaminathan 06 Aug '13

Greetings, Can anybody confirm the safety of LVM snapshot backout (not a backup -- but similar to snapshot restore) for a VM? I understand that there is a step for restart of the CM and not live migration. Will any thing of rsync will help considering a usage of DD on various VM file formnats and various *visors(s)? Or is there a suggested (best practices) way of coelsing VMs snapshots and and possibily running a particular snapshot being coelesed? -- Regards, Rajagopal

AWS AMI questions
by CS 01 Aug '13

01 Aug '13

Hi folks, I had a few questions in regards to the CentOS AMI: Are there instance backed versions of the AWS marketplace CentOS builds? It looks like there might have been at one point, but I'm not seeing them now, and since they're marked as being from the marketplace we're having some difficulties attaching the volumes to another system to create an instance backed version of it. Any ideas? Is it possible to download the AMI from somewhere and re-upload them so they don't have the Marketplace restrictions? I checked cloud.centos.org, but it seems like they files there haven't been updated in a while. It's my understanding that projectraindrops.net was used to build the AMIs, is it possible to run that service locally? Thanks! cs
