Hi Giulio,

To get to the root cause of this problem, I think it is best to look at the engine and vdsm logsĀ 
from the initial failures with vprotect. You can open a new bug in BZ and place the relevant logs there.

Thanks,
Mark

Hi folks,
since some month I have an issue with snapshot removals (I have storware
vprotect backup system, heavily using snapshots).
After some time spent on a bugzilla
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1948599) we discovered that
my issue is not depending on that bug :-(

So they pointed me here again.

Briefly: sometime snapshot removal fails, leaving snapshot in illegal
state. Trying to remove again (via ovirt UI) keeps failing and doesn't
solve. The only way to rebuild a consistent situation is live migrating
affected disk to another storage domain; after moving the disk, snapshot
is no more marked illegal and then I can remove it. You can imagine this
is a bit tricky, specially for large disks.

In my logs I can find:

My setup is ovirt-engine-4.5.2.4-1.el8.noarch, with hypervisors based on
oVirt Node 4.5.2 (vdsm-4.50.2.2-1.el8).

Thank you in advance.
