setting target release to current version for consideration and review. please do not push non-RFE bugs to an undefined target release to make sure bugs are reviewed for relevancy, fix, closure, etc.

Satya, can you elaborate on what you mean by the "ovf descriptor data"? Can you provide an example of the data that you see in a regular snapshot and not in the active VM?

This is to extend Liron's fix

http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/16176/

to include the Live VM.

Example:

This OVF information is presented by the RESTAPI if it is available in the database, the limitation is that for the active VM the database doesn't populate the vm_configuration column of the snapshots table. Once that column is populated the RESTAPI will automatically provide the information.

Exactly the same as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1060575, which I verified yesterday on ovirt-3.4.0-beta3. See more verification details there.
