[Qemu-devel] how to delete a savevm in image?

[Jun Koi]

hi,

during the run of my VM, i used "savevm" to save the VM status down.
now how can i delete that?

i checked qemu-img, and it doesnt seem to have any option to delete
the savevm in the VM image.

thanks,
Jun

You can try like this:

(qemu) info snapshots
ID        TAG                 VM SIZE                DATE       VM CLOCK
1         vm-20111025134936      202M 2011-10-25 13:49:36   00:02:19.524
(qemu) savevm save_name_1
(qemu) info snapshots
ID        TAG                 VM SIZE                DATE       VM CLOCK
1         vm-20111025134936      202M 2011-10-25 13:49:36   00:02:19.524
2         save_name_1            202M 2011-10-25 13:51:53   00:04:28.395
(qemu) loadvm vm-20111025134936
(qemu) delvm save_name_1
(qemu) info snapshots
ID        TAG                 VM SIZE                DATE       VM CLOCK
1         vm-20111025134936      202M 2011-10-25 13:49:36   00:02:19.524
(qemu)


So if you delete, you can use delvm.
