Hi, After issuing the remove operation, you can fetch the VM snapshots and check the status of the snapshot. Here is an example how to fetch VM snapshots: https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine-sdk/blob/master/sdk/examples/list_vm_ snapshots.py You'd want to wait until the status is OK.

Hi,
I'm running ovirt-engine-sdk-python 4.2.4 and I'm performing some snapshot-related tasks. I'd like to somehow control the status of the snapshot in order to know when I'll be able to run the next snapshot-related operation.
For example, I'd like to create a new snapshot and then delete X oldest snapshots. After creating the snapshot I have to make sure the snapshot operation has concluded to run the deletion.
However, I'm unable to find a native way to get the status of a snapshot.
In [1]: snap = conn.follow_link(vm.snapshots)[3] # This returns one snapshot
In [2]: snap.status
In [3]: snap.status_detail
So both status-related properties return None. I've managed to find a "poorman's" way by doing this:
while True: try: snaps_service.service(snap.id).remove() except Error, e: if e.code == 409: sleep(30) continue else: break
Which works but is quite "tricky".
Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
