After a few tricky power issues at a site in a less developed country, I had to restart my
3 node ovirt cluster with hosted engine. Everything seemed to come up fine, but that night
when my scheduled snapshots/backups etc ran (vProtect) some weird things happened. It
created a couple snapshots and couldn't copy them saying disk is locked (even though
in the GUI no disks or snapshots were locked)
After a couple tries all of a sudden the whole VM is 'locked' this means I
can't migrate it, cant start it (if it shuts down) couldn't remove old snapshots
etc. I had this happen on another VM and my only solution there was to clone it, but now
its happened to all of them and im not sure why.
I have run the db utility on command line to unlock everything, nothing is listed as
locked, but I still cant run any operations on the VM's. I even cloned them to get
them up and running again, but I can't delete the old VM still sitting there (or the
disk, snapshots or anything) just keep getting VM is locked.
How the hell do I force an unlock of these entities when everything tells me its not
locked? I'm almost at a point where I want to back up all VM's and start again but
i'd much rather learn some more so I can manage these issues in future.
Any help is appreciated!
thanks
