Greetings oVirt Users; Environment: oVirt 4.2.0.2-1 1 Dedicated Engine 6 Hypervisor Nodes iSCSI Storage All running CentOS 7.5 I have a VM with the illegal snapshot error. After doing some research on the condition i have found some methods for fixing the problem by connecting to the database and repairing the fault. I am unable to connect to the engine database from the engine command line with the password in 10-setup-database.conf for whatever reason. (likely user error) I don't really need the disk that is attached to this VM that is at fault as it is a disk that is being utilized by the VM to perform local backups and that function has been moved to an offsite backup solution. If I shut down the afflicted VM, then delete the un-needed disk, will the snapshots be deleteed and thus the problem alleviated ? Or will the system not delete the un-needed disk because of the fault and then not reboot because if the illegal statu of the snapshot ? I have tried to delete the snapshots, and the system refuses to do so. I may need some guidance regarding connecting to my engine database if i cannot delete the un-needed disk. Thank you all for any help in this matter, and if more information is needed please let me know. ~Clint Boggio
