<p><font face="Liberation Serif">Thanks for inputs. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Liberation Serif">Also, one more problem we observed
in 4.0.5. When creating VM, we cannot change the CPU, sockets,
cores. It will not allow us to change anything. We have to save
the VM during creation with 1 vCPU. Again, edit VM and change
the vCPU parameters. Have you or anyone observed this behaviour?</font><br>

<p><span style="font-family:"Liberation
Serif","serif"">Hello to oVirt Users,</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Liberation
Serif","serif"">I have few questions.<br>
<br>
<br>
a. Can we schedule the VM snapshots? If yes, please share
the procedure<br>
b. Snapshots are stored on the same storage domain. Can we
move them to another storage domain say NFS domain for
additional safety? If, yes, please share the procedure.<br>
<br>
Also, after upgrading to version 4.0.5, at many places,
especially when we are creating a new VM and trying to
create a new Disk for the VM, we keep getting "uncought
exception" and the process will not complete. We have to
create a VM, without Disk and then create the disk
separately and attach it to VM.<br>
<br>
Is anyone else facing this issue? These sort of issues were
not there in 4.0.4.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
