All snapshots are from before failure.
That's a bit scary that there may be a 'too many snapshots' issue. I take
snapshots for point in time consistency, and without the ability to
collapse them while the vm is running I'm not sure what the best option is
here. What is the recommended snapshot limit? Or maybe a better question;
whats the intended use case for snapshots in ovirt?
Export domain is currently unavailable, and without it active I can't
disable it properly.

Its just very odd that I can snapshot any other VM except this one.
I just cloned a new VM from the last snapshot on this VM and it created
without issue. I was also able to snapshot the new VM without a problem.

were these 23 snapshots created any way each time we fail to create the
snapshot or are these older snapshots which you actually created before the
failure?
at this point my main theory is that somewhere along the line you had some
sort of failure in your storage and from that time each snapshot you create
will fail.
if the snapshots are created during the failure can you please delete the
snapshots you do not need and try again?
There should not be a limit on how many snapshots you can have since it's
only a link changing the image the vm should boot from.
Having said that, it's not ideal to have that many snapshots and can
probably lead to unexpected results so I would not recommend having that
many snapshots on a single vm :)
for example, my second theory would be that because we have so many
snapshots we have some sort of race where part of the createVolume command
expects some result from a query run before the create itself and because
there are so many snapshots there is "no such file" on the volume because
it's too far up the list.
can you also run: ls -l /rhev/data-center/9497ef2c-
8368-4c92-8d61-7f318a90748f/95b9d922-4df7-4d3b-9bca-
467e2fd9d573/images/466d9ae9-e46a-46f8-9f4b-964d8af0675b
lets see what images are listed under that vm.
btw, you know that your export domain is getting StorageDomainDoesNotExist
in the vdsm log? is that domain in up state? can you try to deactivate the
export domain?
Thanks,
Dafna
