Yes, we had this race in another test, that's because of the engine memory lock which is released after the database one
I believe that in this case it's not just a tight race since from what I've seen in Vdsm logs it seems the snapshot is really not completed when its status is switched to OK. Anyway, thank you for confirming that snapshot status check is unreliable, I'll replace it with Engine event check.
I can't provide links since I'm on my phone and away from the laptop but you can look at the cold merge test, we fixed it there by polling the status of the job

Hi, a failure of previewing a snapshot with memory has been experienced in OST master suite and I'm not sure whether REST API responses about snapshot status are correct or not.
When I'm creating a snapshot with memory, <snapshot_status> reported from Engine REST API in /api/vms/…/snapshots is initially `locked' and later switches to `ok'. The problem is that `ok' starts being reported before snapshot creation completes, resulting in errors if I try to stop the VM or to preview the snapshot at the moment.
Does <snapshot_status>ok</snapshot_status> guarantee that the snapshot is completed or not? I can see the following example in ovirt-engine-sdk (for snapshot without memory):
# 'Waiting for Snapshot creation to finish' snapshot_service = snapshots_service.snapshot_service(snapshot.id) while True: time.sleep(5) snapshot = snapshot_service.get() if snapshot.snapshot_status == types.SnapshotStatus.OK: break
So I suppose snapshot status shouldn't switch to OK before snapshot creation finishes. But it's not true in Engine master. Is it a bug or a feature?
