Hi! I use ovirt rest api to start vm, backup vm and then remove vm.
I start vm, wait for vmstatus up, then  start backup, wait for starting, finalize, wait for succeeded, wait for disk unlock. Looks like backup is finished here from my side.Because ovirt repost succeed status and unlocks disk. But if i try shutdown and remove vm ovirt will throw error  Cannot remove VM. The VM is performing an operation on a Snapshot. Please wait for the operation to finish, and try again.
Ok, ovirt is right here, I see from web interface that operation hasn't finished yet. How can I obtain correct status where vm can be removed? I also tried to get info about vm snapshots but all of them had Status: ok

Nir wrote some good advice below, but specifically about "I also tried to get info about vm snapshots but all of them had Status: ok", something is fishy because the error you get is produced when there's a snapshot with status LOCKED [1]. It might be that you queried the snapshots after the remove-snapshot operation was completed

This sounds similar to ovirt stress delete-snapshot and backup tests.

Please check here how to use the ovirt python sdk to create/delete/backup and wait for events:
