Description Guohua Ouyang 2021-04-23 01:57:59 UTC
Description of problem:
It was not clear for users why Snapshot feature was not available.

- Users had to stop a running VM in order to take a Snapshot. It was not clear for users when they see the Snapshot button greyed-out.
- One user mentioned that in RHV, it allows users to take a Snapshot and reminds users the VM would be paused.
- Similar feature can be seen here on Cloning, where it allows users to proceed with cloning but reminds users that “it will be powered off while cloning.”
- Consider adapting similar behavior as Cloning and RHV, allowing users to take a snapshot but reminds users the VM would be paused.
