[ovirt-users] stange behavious on virtual machine wilt multiple snapshots

[Roel de Rooy]

Hi all,

One of our VM's is behaving strangely.
We are using oVirt Engine 3.5.4.
The host where the VM is located is F20 with virt-preview repository installed.

When trying to start the VM, the following error message is visible:

"down with error. Exit message: internal error: early end of file from monitor: possible problem:
2015-10-20T00:06:08.134352Z qemu-system-x86_64: -drive file=/rhev/data-center/124ae76f-8acb-412e-91cc-dff9f6ec665d/7be6092d-fce1-45b5-a383-3ead3cdfe457/images/bb5d12ce-1845-42c8-8a6c-abbb73999f5d/941ba152-9bc7-4aaa-8dfa-f1b9f7c3281b,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=qcow2,serial=bb5d12ce-1845-42c8-8a6c-abbb73999f5d,cache=none,werror=stop,rerror=stop,aio=threads: could not open disk image /rhev/data-center/124ae76f-8acb-412e-91cc-dff9f6ec665d/7be6092d-fce1-45b5-a383-3ead3cdfe457/images/bb5d12ce-1845-42c8-8a6c-abbb73999f5d/941ba152-9bc7-4aaa-8dfa-f1b9f7c3281b: Could not open backing file: Could not open backing file: Could not open backing file: Could not open backing file: Could not open backing file: Could not open backing file: Could not open backing file: Could not open backing file: Could not open backing file: Could not open backing file: Could not open backing file: Could not open backing file: Could not open backing file: Could not open backing file."

After investigating this issue, we found out that the VM had 25 disk snapshots attached.
We tried to remove 2 of them, which succeeded, but due to the time it would take to remove them all, we figured it would also be possible to just export the vm to the exportdisk and reimport it again.

Unfortunately now the attached screenshot is happening.

Each of the 'finalizing' subtasks corresponds with a 'Failed to export Vm xxxx to xxxx' message within the event log.

Is there a possibility  to stop this task?

The vdsClient on the host gives the following info about the task:

5c2763ce-21b7-4669-b66d-5f5ea075be4a :
        verb = moveImage
        code = 0
        state = finished
        tag = spm
        result =
        message = 1 jobs completed successfully
        id = 5c2763ce-21b7-4669-b66d-5f5ea075be4a


Met vriendelijke groet,
