Hi,
I have also sometimes the issue with snapshots or disk move, which is also related to
snapshots, when the engine process is running for a longer time.
After restarting the engine service, then it is working again for several weeks, until it
gets too long and issues starting again to happen.
I had never the time to dig in deeper here and I'm never on a version, which is still
supported, but it would be nice to here, if you maybe have the same issue?
How long was your engine process running, until the issues have started?

Betreff: [ovirt-users] Re: VM with illegal snapshots
Hello
We have the same issue, and not just one VM, we have about 10-15 VMs that have either
snapshots that are illegal or snapshots that is not possible to remove.
This have been an issue for quite some time, all since beginning of 4.3 we get "vm
with illegal snapshots" almost every week, and most often we can remove the snapshot
and all is ok, but now this have escalated quite much and leaves us with customer VM that
we may not be able to reboot or that the disk gets corrupted, that have happed a few
times.
This is the VM with most snapshots that we are unable to remove any of them.
Engine is on 4.3.10 and hosts on 4.3.9
How can i safely remove these snapshots?
(I am not super comfortable around database "hacking" so some informative
description would be much appreciated.)
And how can we eliminate that these things happen?
Cheers
Magnus

Hi,
due to a bug in our Ovirt integrated backup system now we have some VMs
with snapshots in illegal state.
It seems that there's an inconsistency between the db and the real
status of images on disk.
Let me show an example:
engine=# select
image_guid,parentid,imagestatus,vm_snapshot_id,volume_type,volume_format,active
from images where image_group_id='e34f77cb-54d5-40d0-b539-e0a5fd512d2d';
image_guid | parentid |
imagestatus | vm_snapshot_id | volume_type |
volume_format | active

so image guid a4c86a68-9123-454c-b417-1b15038a4bf2 is not present on
disk, i think that the image was correctly merged but not removed from
the database.
Any suggestion on how to fix the database to reflect the real situation
on disk??
In those cases I delete the entry from engine DB to reflect the status of the image chain.
