[Users] oVirt 3.3.3 RC EL6 Live Snapshot

>From the engine logs it seems that indeed live snapshot is called (The
command is snapshotVDSCommand see [1]).
This is done right after the snapshot has been created in the VM and it
signals the qemu process to start using the new volume created.
When live snapshot does not succeed we should see in the log something
like "Wasn't able to live snapshot due to error:...", but it does not
appear so it seems that this worked out fine.
At some point I can see in the logs that VDSM reports to the engine that
the VM is paused.
