Hi, I'm running ovirt-engine-sdk-python 4.2.4 and I'm performing some snapshot-related tasks. I'd like to somehow control the status of the snapshot in order to know when I'll be able to run the next snapshot-related operation. For example, I'd like to create a new snapshot and then delete X oldest snapshots. After creating the snapshot I have to make sure the snapshot operation has concluded to run the deletion. However, I'm unable to find a native way to get the status of a snapshot. In [1]: snap = conn.follow_link(vm.snapshots)[3] # This returns one snapshot In [2]: snap.status In [3]: snap.status_detail So both status-related properties return None. I've managed to find a "poorman's" way by doing this: while True: try: snaps_service.service(snap.id).remove() except Error, e: if e.code == 409: sleep(30) continue else: break Which works but is quite "tricky". Is there a better way to do this? Thanks.
