[ovirt-users] Snapshot is "Locked" - Can't do anything with the VM

Wed May 18 10:50:06 EDT 2016

Hi Nathanaël

I try it today and the snapshot was in the state "OK" after I execute 
the script. I try to remove the snapshot again, but it never do 
something. So after I click "Delete", i have this situation:

Tasks(1):
- (Hourglass) Removing Snapshot Auto-generated for Live Storage 
Migration of VM xxxx
-- (Completed) Validating
-- (Hourglass) Executing

The snapshot is in the status "Locked"

This status remains for ever.

When I restart the engine, the Status is still in the status "Locked", 
but the task no longer exists.

....but nothing else....

On the node side, i can't find anything in the logs (or i looking on the 
wrong place).

When the VM is not running, I can remove the snapshot without any 
problems. The VM images are on a NFS export from a Solaris (ZFS).
