Description Yaniv Lavi 2016-03-14 09:13:01 UTC 
Description of problem:
After live storage migration(LSM),the snapshot auto-generated during live storage migration has to be manually deleted after shutting down the VM.It would be nice if the auto-generated snapshot and its backing file could be live merged without having to shutdown the VM.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Live migrate a disk attached to a VM from one SD to another
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
After LSM,the snapshot auto-generated during live storage migration has to be manually deleted after shutting down the VM.


Expected results:
VDSM should live merge the auto-generated snapshot and its backing file after LSM.

Moving from 4.0 alpha to 4.0 beta since 4.0 alpha has been already released and bug is not ON_QA.
Comment 2 Allon Mureinik 2016-06-05 13:25:06 UTC 
Ala, this is a highly visible customer facing issue - please provide some doctext for it.
Comment 3 Kevin Alon Goldblatt 2016-06-07 11:20:54 UTC 
Test the with the following code:
------------------------------------------
rhevm-4.0.0.2-0.1.el7ev.noarch
vdsm-4.18.1-11.gita92976e.el7ev.x86_64


Tested with the following scenario:
------------------------------------
1.Created 3 Storage Domains, iscsi, nfs and fc
2.Created a VM with disks on each of the SD
3.Started the Vm and then performed a LSM of each disk to a different SD >>>>>
The auto created snapshot is created successfully
On completion of the LSM the auto created sns is deleted
The size of the disks are updated correctly

Comment 5 Allon Mureinik 2016-06-23 15:46:23 UTC 
Tahila - please also note documentation bug 1343903 which lists several places the removed behavior is listed. I'm guessing that and the doctext of this bug should somehow be handled together.
Comment 6 Tahlia Richardson 2016-06-24 05:13:18 UTC 
Thanks Allon. We've got bug 1343903 in our first priority list of bugs for 4.0.
