For details on the rcxadm imagemgr command, refer to "5.9 rcxadm imagemgr" in the "Reference Guide (Command/XML) CE".
To collect a snapshot, it is recommended that the power of the L-Server is "OFF" to avoid any inconsistencies occurring in the data and
file system on the disk.
When collecting a snapshot from an L-Server that is running, the L-Server must be configured in advance for live collection of snapshots.
For details on the settings required to collect a snapshot when the server is running, refer to the manual of the server virtualization software.
For details on operations using the rcxadm image command, refer to "4.1 rcxadm image" in the "Reference Guide (Command/XML) CE".
Note
Immediately after a snapshot is restored, there may be differences between the configuration of VM guests managed by L-Server and
those managed by VM management software.
The differences in VM guest configuration are reflected on the configuration of the L-Server by periodic queries made to the VM
management software.
For details on reflection of L-Server configuration by periodic queries, refer to
[Physical Servers]
