I do not think so - I do not think anything changed since this:

I agree it sounds like a useful thing to have. Not sure how hard it
can be to implement it. Feel free to open an RFE bz.

Basically, we'll have to:

1. Make sure everything continues to work sensibly - engine/vdsm do
the right things, ha agent works as expected, etc.

2. Provide means to start the vm from a snapshot, and/or revert to a
snapshot. This is going to be quite ugly, because it will have to
duplicate in ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/-ha functionality that already
exists in the engine, because at that point the engine is not
available to assist with this.

Best regards,
