qemu-kvm-rhev installed?

Comment 3 Daniel Erez 2014-07-15 17:28:07 UTC
According to the logs and test environment, there are a couple of issues here:
* Live snapshot creation fails on *block* storage domain - similar to bug 1115126 (already in modified). 
* qemu-kvm-rhev wasn't installed on the relevant host, hence, according to bug 1009100, the operation should have been blocked on canDo indicating that "Operation not supported by QEMU."

Thus:
* Adding bug 1115126 to 'Depends On' and moving to POST
* @Francesco - shouldn't live snapshot be disabled/blocked when qemu-kvm-rhev isn't installed (bug 1009100)?

The current code doesn't do such check, instead relies on libvirt reporting *and* as default allows live snapshot for backward compatibility, since only
newer libvirts have this new reporting capability.

Shouldn't libvirt report that live snapshot is not supported when qemu-kvm-rhev isn't installed?

Libvirt detects the support using the capabilities reported in turn by the underlying QEMU. This is safer than just checking the name.

As stated in comment #4, we don't have an alternative indication for live snapshot support either than what's reported by libvirt. Hence, the engine can't block the operation in such scenario - moving to MODIFIED as bug 1115126.

Comment 9 Sandro Bonazzola 2014-10-17 12:30:33 UTC
oVirt 3.5 has been released and should include the fix for this issue.
