Does this skill work with any storage provider?

It works with any storage provider that has a CSI driver supporting the VolumeSnapshot capability and a configured VolumeSnapshotClass in the cluster.

Can I snapshot a running VM using this skill?

Yes, if your storage backend supports online snapshots. The skill will check for the QEMU guest agent to ensure application consistency while the VM is running.

How do I ensure my snapshot is application-consistent?

To achieve application consistency, ensure the QEMU guest agent is installed and running inside the VM. The skill verifies this status before taking the snapshot.

Can I use this skill to clone a VM?

No, snapshots are for backup and recovery of the current VM. To create an independent copy of a VM, you should use the vm-clone skill instead.

What happens if my VM has hot-plugged volumes?

Hot-plugged volumes block snapshot creation in OpenShift Virtualization. The skill will detect these and advise you to either stop the VM or persist the volumes before proceeding.

Creates robust virtual machine snapshots in OpenShift Virtualization for backup, recovery, and upgrade preparation.

This skill automates the complex process of creating snapshots for virtual machines running on OpenShift Virtualization. It performs deep analysis of storage backend capabilities, CSI driver support, and guest agent status to ensure snapshot consistency. By handling pre-requisite checks like hot-plugged volume detection and providing storage consumption estimates, it ensures safe and reliable VM backups before critical upgrades or configuration changes.
