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.
