Hi All,

Would appreciate for any ideas what to check further on the issue.

Checking further the logs I see this error given from libvirt of the host that has the guest VM running:

Immediately after above the engine reports the VM as unresponsive.
The SPM host does not log any issues.

In the same time, the 3 hosts are fairly idle with only one running guest VM. The gluster traffic is dedicated to a separate Gbit NIC of the servers (dedicated VLAN) while the management network is on a separate network. The gluster traffic does not exceed 40 Mbps during the snapshot operation. Can't understand why libvirt is logging timeout.

Hi All,

Any idea on the below?

I am using oVirt Guest Tools 4.2-1.el7.centos for the VM.
The Window 2016 server VM (which it the one with the relatively big disks: 500 GB) it is consistently rendered unresponsive when trying to get a snapshot.
I amy provide any other additional logs if needed.

Adding some people to the thread

Adding more people for this part.

Hi folks,

I am facing frequently the following issue:

On some large VMs (Windows 2016 with two disk drives, 60GB and 500GB) when attempting to create a snapshot of the VM, the VM becomes unresponsive.

The errors that I managed to collect were:

As soon as the VM is unresponsive, the VM console that was already open freezes. I can resume the VM only by powering off and on.

I am using ovirt 4.1.9 with 3 nodes and self-hosted engine. I am running mostly Windows 10 and Windows 2016 server VMs. I have installed latest guest agents from:

http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-4.2/iso/oVirt-toolsSetup/4.2-1.el7.centos/

At the screen where one takes a snapshot I get a warning saying "Could not detect guest agent on the VM. Note that without guest agent the data on the created snapshot may be inconsistent". See attached. I have verified that ovirt guest tools are installed and shown at installed apps at engine GUI. Also Ovirt Guest Agent (32 bit) and qemu-ga are listed as running at the windows tasks manager. Shouldn't ovirt guest agent be 64 bit on Windows 64 bit?

No idea, but I do not think it's related to your problem of freezing while taking a snapshot.

This error was already discussed in the past, see e.g.:

http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2017-June/082577.html
