iSCSI / NFS / Snapshot KVM / Proxmox

[bumann]

Hi,

i use a freenas nfs stroage for my two node proxmox cluster for a while.
But i asking myself why freenas don´t publish features for kvm ve whitch for VMware.
I did not understand why there is no solution to use snapshots for kvm environment like for VMware.
Or can you tell me to use Freenas iscsi and zfs snaphot for kvm virtual machines (for example Proxmox).

Thanks for your comment.

You could write a script to SSH into your proxmox servers and have them take a snapshot, then just take a normal snapshot of your dataset in FreeNAS. Setup the cron job for the script and its all automated. I have no clue how proxmox works with VM snapshots but I'm sure it could be done with some research.

EDIT: Don't forget to clean up your snapshots!
