Hi Omer,

Thanks for your reply.

I was cleaning our snapshots on oVirt. So I started deleting snapshots one by one. In total in deleted 10 snapshots. 5 VM's came back up, without the error message, the rest of them are still down with this error message.

this happens because you have a snapshot in status locked,
probably you did some operation on snapshot and something went wrong (it might have failed without clearing the state..)
there is no easy and safe way to fix this (you can change the status of the snapshot in the db but i am not sure what will happen)
what action did you do with snapshots on this vm?
what was the result?
