[ovirt-users] ovirt snapshot issue

Sun Mar 25 16:30:39 UTC 2018

Hi folks,

I am facing frequently the following issue:

On some large VMs (Windows 2016 with two disk drives, 60GB and 500GB) when
attempting to create a snapshot of the VM, the VM becomes unresponsive.

The errors that I managed to collect were:

vdsm error at host hosting the VM:

As soon as the VM is unresponsive, the VM console that was already open
freezes. I can resume the VM only by powering off and on.

I am using ovirt 4.1.9 with 3 nodes and self-hosted engine. I am running
mostly Windows 10 and Windows 2016 server VMs. I have installed latest
guest agents from:

http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-4.2/iso/oVirt-toolsSetup/4.2-1.el7.centos/

At the screen where one takes a snapshot I get a warning saying "Could not
detect guest agent on the VM. Note that without guest agent the data on the
created snapshot may be inconsistent". See attached. I have verified that
ovirt guest tools are installed and shown at installed apps at engine GUI.
Also Ovirt Guest Agent (32 bit) and qemu-ga are listed as running at the
windows tasks manager. Shouldn't ovirt guest agent be 64 bit on Windows 64
bit?

Any advice will be much appreciated.
