Description

Data Protector uses scripts to back up live, running, or online VMs in a Red Hat KVM host. The scripts are meant to be saved in the pre-exec and post-exec areas of the relevant backup specification. The pre-exec script creates a live external snapshot of the VM and saves it in the configured local/SAN storage mount point. The restoration of the VMs is handled by the post-exec script during restore.

This script uses Red Hat KVM features and functionality to carry out these operations.

Minimum Requirements

  • Ensure the KVM host is imported into the Cell Manager.
  • Ensure that the utility packages virt-manager 1.4.3 or later versions and virsh 3.9.0 or later versions are installed.
  • Ensure there is enough free storage (SAN or local filesystem) for backing up all the online VMs in Red Hat KVM host.

I would like to see the following changes to the kit such as change the script names to all lowercase and Provide one core configuration file (e.g. KVM_config.sh) vs. the current approach where the user need to customize all three script files with parameters.
