VMware ESX - Snapshot

meno
Path Finder

ESX environment with Splunk in a VM:

  • Splunk 4.1.4 RHEL4 64bit
  • configured as indexer
  • $SPLUNK_DB on SAN (in VMware context)
  • everything on ext3 filesystem

Is it possible to make a complete snapshot (in ESX Manager) with an active running Splunk instance ?

Or is it required to shutdown Splunk ?

You can take a snapshot and it will be consistent.
