[Users] oVirt 3.2: impossiible to delete a snapshot?

oVirt 3.2 with node f18 and engine another f18 and ovirt stable repo. After I create a snapshot of a powered off win xp VM, I then select the snapshot and select "delete" Are you sure you want to delete snapshot from Wed Feb 27 07:56:23 GMT+100 2013 with description 'test'? ok Error: winxp: Cannot remove Snapshot. Removing the VM active Snapshot is not allowed. Is this expected? Why? Thanks, Gianluca

Hi Gianluca, what you describe is a bit odd to me, as the GUI should block you from selecting the active snapshot and select remove - I tried to reproduce on 3.2 and had no success. Could you please attach a screenshot and the engine log? how many vms do you have in your system? ----- Original Message -----

ok
Error:
winxp:
Cannot remove Snapshot. Removing the VM active Snapshot is not allowed.
Is this expected? Why?

I have not the system with me now but I'm going to provide screenshots this evening It is my @HOME environment that consists on one fedora 18 system with all-in-one 3.2 I only have one WIndows XP VM on it I wanted to reproduce the clone from snapshot problem (see the other thread you answered) workflow is this: - VM is powered off - create snapshot named "test" that succeeds (- try the clone from sapshot that produces the blank window; I don't know if this problem can sort of influence the errors in the following steps... - close the ever running blank window ) Now I don't need any more the snapshot as I reproduced the clone problem, so: - select line with snapshot and date (the second one ) I don't have my screenshot here, but it is the same as in this image in rhevm 3.1 manual: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mvcFk3VXJoc0oxdnc/edit?usp=sharing So it is not the current Active one the line I select.... - select delete and I (correctly in my opinion) get the message: Are you sure you want to delete snapshot from Wed Feb 27 07:56:23 GMT+100 2013 with description 'test'? - select OK - I get (incorrectly in my opinion, because I has not selected the active line) Error: winxp: Cannot remove Snapshot. Removing the VM active Snapshot is not allowed. During the process the VM remained powered off and no preview or other operations were selected. Gianluca

Possibly the problem is due to the VM having a disk in illegal state... In fact I can't reproduce on another system with similar setup (3.2 final but not all-in-one). I'm going to clean the situation and then retry. Thanks in the mean time, Gianluca

I'm also running 3.2 stable on F18 and can delete snapshots but as Gianluca can't clone. Get the same blank window. Saw the fix but since its a java.class change would need a rebuild of 3.2 Any idea when a wrap up of several bugs found and fixed will be up at ovirt.org? Thanks, Joop -- irc: jvandewege

Gianluca, seems like there is a bug when there is an image on ILLEGAL, i'll handle it. thanks for raising the issue. ----- Original Message -----

In the mean time my rebuilt packages for fedora 18 with the fix http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/11254/ and that form my experience give: - solution for clone from snapshot - solution to see details of a snapshot in details pane (disks, nic, ecc.) can be downloaded here... They are the same version as the official ones, so you have to run rpm -Uvh --force *rpm (keep off from the list the ovirt-engine-setup-plugin-allinone-3.2.0-4.fc18.noarch.rpm in case you have not that installed) https://www.dropbox.com/sh/24p620taye7v394/plnq7cQWe5?m Gianluca
