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.

You can do that using something like:
snapshot_service = snapshots_service.snapshot_service(snapshot.id)
snapshot = snapshot_service.get()
if snapshot.snapshot_status == types.SnapshotStatus.OK:
...
But counting on the snapshot status is race prone, so in 4.2 a search by
correlation id was introduced and you can do something like this (taken
from ovirt-system-tests[1]):
correlation_id = uuid.uuid4()
vm1_snapshots_service.add(dead_snap1_params,
query={'correlation_id': correlation_id})
testlib.assert_true_within_long(
lambda:
test_utils.all_jobs_finished(engine, correlation_id)
)
Where all jobs finished does:
try:
jobs = engine.jobs_service().list(
search='correlation_id=%s' % correlation_id
)
except:
jobs = engine.jobs_service().list()
return all(job.status != types.JobStatus.STARTED for job in jobs)

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.
