Live snapshot depends on your version of qemu-kvm.
For instance, on CentOS 6.5, the repositories no not provide yet the 
sufficient qemu version level.
Thus, though oVirt allows trying to run a live snapshot, the underlying 
qemu will refuse.

I thought I understood that people using very recent version of Fedora 
were able to install a capable qemu version.

Wait and see.
