Seems like all the engine logs are full with the same error.
From vdsm.log.16.xz I can see an error which might explain this failure:

Ala, maybe you know if there is any known issue with mergeSnapshots?
The usecase here are VMs from oVirt 3.5 which got registered to oVirt 4.2.

Seems like the engine logs does not contain the entire process, can you please share older logs since the import operation?

And VDSM logs as well from your host

 Dear All,
I have been using ovirt for a long time with three hypervisors and an external engine running in a centos vm .

This three hypervisors have HBAs and access to fiber channel storage. Until recently I used version 3.5, then I reinstalled everything from scratch and now I have 4.2.

Before formatting everything, I detach the storage data domani (FC) with the virtual machines and reimported it to the new 4.2 and all went well. In
this domain there were virtual machines with and without snapshots.

Now I have two problems. The first is that if I try to delete a snapshot the process is not end successful and remains hanging and the second problem is that
in one case I lost the virtual machine !!!


Not sure that I fully understand the scneario.'
How was the virtual machine got lost if you only tried to delete a snapshot?
 

So I need your help to kill the three running zombie tasks because with taskcleaner.sh I can't do anything and then I need to know how I can delete the old snapshots
made with the 3.5 without losing other data or without having new processes that terminate correctly.

If you want some log files please let me know.


Hi Enrico,

Can you please attach the engine and VDSM logs
  

Thank you so much.
Best Regards
Enrico
