see the difference between snapshot and disk on new installation

[Clément Mutz1709159134]

Hello,

 

After a crash xenserver I must re-install from scratch on a new machine (base corrupt)

https://discussions.citrix.com/topic/395577-xenserver-doesnt-start/

I would like restore VMs on SAN

So I did that : 

 

- Create VM on xencenter

- Delete the disk created
- From the console of the host , get the UUID of the local Storage Repository (SR)
    xe sr-list name-label="iSCSI_1"

   uuid ( RO)                : 4a37a72d-38c9-0158-eddc-d728624b6211

- Find VM UUID
    xe vm-list name-label=VM1

uid ( RO)           : 77b6e445-0c7e-8184-871d-250276945425
Find the disk on SR iSCSI_1
    xe vdi-list sr-uuid=4a37a72d-38c9-0158-eddc-d728624b6211 name-label=G2RI-odoo_0_ROOT

How can I see the difference between snapshot and disk ?

Maybe xe snaphost-list and do a comparison ?

There is a "xe snapshot-list" command that's been around for some time now. Add "params=all" to get what it is a snapshot of, plus a lot more information.

You can also run "xe vdi-list params=is-a-snapshot".
