location of snapshots generated by savevm option

[Hossein Hadian Jazi]

I am using savevm and loadvm of TEMU. I want to use python to wrote some script to access the snapshot that was generated by savevm but I could not find it. 

Could you pleas help me where is the location of snapshots which was generated by savevm option?

Hi, the savevm will save the snapshot in the qcow disk file. It is not a standalone file.

Cheers
Antonio

Thanks for your reply. So could you help me how can I access that via python subprocess?

[Antonio Nappa]

You can start qemu as a subprocess and use -loadvm as an option to load your snapshot then you can type commands to the emulator using the .stdin object of the process that you generate with subprocess.

A VM snapshot includes memory, CPU state, and states of IO devices, which are all packaged and saved in the qcow2 image. If you are only interested in memory state, you could just save the memory by yourself and dump it to a file. For example, a monitor command called pmemsave can achieve this.

I already do that but got the exception. I saved the vm after load_plugin. 

I should mention that without loadvm option everything work but when I add it got fatal error..

This is my python code:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

from subprocess import Popen, PIPE, STDOUT

# pass initial command as list of individual args

p = Popen([r"/home/bitblaze/temu-1.0/tracecap/temu","-monitor","stdio","-m","1024", "-loadvm", "vmsnapshot", "/home/hossein/windowsxp.qcow"],stdout=PIPE, stdin=PIPE)

#p = Popen(["qemu-system-i386","-monitor","stdio","-m","512","­-netdev","user,id=mynet", "-­device", "rtl8139,netdev=mynet" ,"-loadvm", "decafvm", "/home/hossein/windowsxp.qcow"],stdout=PIPE, stdin=PIPE)

# store all the next arguments to pass

args = iter(["enable_emulation","tracebyname foo.exe /home/hossein/traceexample/foopython.trace","stop_emulation"])

# iterate over stdout so we can check where we are

for line in iter(p.stdout.readline,""):

    # if (qemu) is at the prompt, enter a command

    if line.startswith("(qemu)"):

        arg = next(args,"") 

        # if we have used all args break

        if not arg:

            break

        # else we write the arg with a newline

        p.stdin.write(arg+"\n")

    print(line)# just use to see the output

And this is the exception that I got:
