hello All,
I have a dedicated virtualizer running Ubuntu server 14.04 with KVM.
Trusty is past end-of-life, so I would like to upgrade it (maybe I should wait for 20.04LTS).
The images are on a dedicated disk partition, mounted on /var/lib/libvirt/images.
I was thinking to upgrade the server to 18.04 over a weekend, office closed, turning off previously all guest machines.
Then I would simply install the host over the original / partition, avoiding (of course!) to format the images' partition.
I probably would need to backup and restore the other folders in /var/lib/libvirt.
Am I making things too simple...?
Thanks for your advice,
best,
Gian
