What are you referring to as the first and second part?

Versions for oVirt are all the most recent. This is a fresh install of the
Hosted Engine. I will just script the backup to cycle through sdb, sdc, sdd,
Š. Szzzz, just seems odd that once a disk is detached and a snapshot
deleted, that the Backup_appliance-VM can still access the drive/snapshot?

‹ Same - logs would be helpful here.

I will continue to dig through this issue and will post logs if stuck. I
just wanted to know if there was anything obvious that I should be doing
differently with iSCSI vs NFS with mounting disks/snapshots.
