VM Snapshot Problem
Hi All, I am facing one strange problem with the snapshot of the VM...let me explain .... I have one vm called “vm1” & i have created the following snapshots :- 1) 2014-08-20 First Snapshot 2) 2014-08-21 Second Snapshot 3) 2014-08-22 Third Snapshot Now if i try to restore the VM(means commit) with Third Snapshot...other two snapshots will exists.. But if I restore the VM with First Snapshot...VM will restore successfully but it destroy the other 2 snapshosts (Second Snapshot & Third Snapshot)..that means both the other snapshots will be disappear.... Please let me know is this the limitation of Ovirt or it's any setting problem... Thank you.

this is how snapshots works, third is based on second which based on first, each snapshot contains only the diff from its base, so if you want to go and change the base, all snapshots that based on it are not valid anymore.
Thank you.
