Fedora 18 introduces online disk snapshots Posted: 13 Aug 2012 04:56 AM PDT Today Linux-KVM published a post that shows the basics of a new feature coming with Fedora 18, the ability to take online snapshots of virtual disks with no downtime. An online snapshotting feature, already available in libvirt with command line-only support, represents a fundamental element in a production environment and will help KVM to shorten the distance with the professional market. This feature is partially available in Fedora 17 and will be fully supported in the next release. This was a preview of the planned live snapshotting feature in development and scheduled for release with Fedora 18.   Some of these features are already available in Fedora 17 as demonstrated but won't be fully available until the next release. Live disk snapshotting will be a huge benefit and time saver for backing up KVM virtual machines online and adds production level features to KVM for free.  Online backups could be scheduled and run automatically with such a feature.  Adding this feature to libvirt tools like virt-manager and RHEV will be sure to follow.

Release: Microsoft Virtual Machine Servicing Tool 2012 Posted: 13 Aug 2012 02:41 AM PDT Microsoft has released a new version of its Virtual Machine Servicing Tool (VSMT) solution accelerator. This tool is the next version of the VSMT 3.0 which was released in September 2010. The VMST is a patch management solution which can be used to update stopped or saved state VM's on a Hyper-V or Hyper-V R2 host. And also VM Templates, offline VM's and offline Virtual Hard Disks(VHD) stored in the VM Library of System Center 2012 Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM). In order to achieve this, the tool applies updates to the VHD using so called Servicing Jobs. Servicing Jobs, which use Windows PowerShell start the VM, update the VM and either shuts down the VM or brings the VM back into a saved state. Offline VHD's are updated by mounting them to a running host and updating it using the Deployment Imaging Servicing and Management (DISM) tool. VMST can leverage either the software update functionality of System Center 2012 Configuration Manager (SCCM) or Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) version 3.0 SP2 to achieve this.
