So question here is, can I delete a snapshot or > not ? can I use only the rest API not python (excuse me I am not a > developer) I can answer this one at least. For now, Centos 7 is lacking a new enough version of libvirt to support Live Merge (> 1.2.7). The virt-preview repository for Fedora is shipping a newer libvirt. You can check if vdsm will support live merge by executing the following on the host in question: sudo vdsClient -s 0 getVdsCaps | grep liveMerge RHEL 7.1 will be shipping a version with the neccessary backports to support live merge so I imagine Centos 7.1 will pick those up automatically? -- Adam Litke _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users(a)ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
