The ovm_vmdisks
utility takes a virtual
machine name or UUID and lists out every virtual disk file for
that VM, as well as the virtual machine configuration
(vm.cfg
) file. This allows you to take the
file listings from the output of the utility and back them up to
a server or tape.
The ovm_vmdisks
utility has the following
command line options:
-u user name of an Oracle VM Manager admin user (required)
-p password corresponding with the admin user name (required)
-h host name of the server running Oracle VM Manager (required)
-X use SSL to connect to Oracle VM Manager
-v virtual machine name
-U virtual machine UUID
If the virtual disks are actual physical devices directly attached to the VM, the utility lists the device mapper entry on the Oracle VM Server to which the VM is assigned. In case the virtual disks are files on an NFS server, the utility lists the NFS server name, mount point and file name/location.
