Hello Daniel,
Thanks for inputs.
Also, one more problem we observed in 4.0.5. When creating VM, we cannot
change the CPU, sockets, cores. It will not allow us to change anything.
We have to save the VM during creation with 1 vCPU. Again, edit VM and
change the vCPU parameters. Have you or anyone observed this behaviour?

Thanks & Regards,

If you don’t already you may want to setup an export domain (NFS
based), on separate storage.
Just a reminder: snapshots are not backups and they should only be
kept temporarily. We use this tool for backups:
https://github.com/wefixit-AT/oVirtBackup
It’s not the most efficient as it clones a VM from a snapshot, then
exports the clone – so you’re transferring the same data twice. But it
works for our purposes. We have this running in a cron job.
If anyone has come up with a script that uses the newer API to export
a snapshot directly, please share!
We get the same error when adding a disk while creating the VM (In
Chrome, Firefox, and Safari on OS X Sierra client). This is reportedly
fixed in 4.0.6 per this bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1394175
Could someone with 4.0.6 confirm that?
Best,
Daniel

*Subject: *[ovirt-users] Scheduled Snapshot and export
Hello to oVirt Users,
I have few questions.
a. Can we schedule the VM snapshots? If yes, please share the procedure
b. Snapshots are stored on the same storage domain. Can we move them
to another storage domain say NFS domain for additional safety? If,
yes, please share the procedure.
Also, after upgrading to version 4.0.5, at many places, especially
when we are creating a new VM and trying to create a new Disk for the
VM, we keep getting "uncought exception" and the process will not
complete. We have to create a VM, without Disk and then create the
disk separately and attach it to VM.
Is anyone else facing this issue? These sort of issues were not there
in 4.0.4.
