Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: Consequence: Pre-started VMs in Pools as well as stateless VMs couldn't be started. The attempt to start them caused creation of snapshot that remained in state "LOCKED". This prevented VM from being deleted. Fix: Result: fixed

Comment 2 Tomas Jelinek 2016-05-25 10:48:38 UTC 
could you please provide the logs?
Comment 3 sefi litmanovich 2016-05-26 07:16:36 UTC 
Yes, sorry about that. I am attaching engine.log and SPM's vdsm.log, the vm created in this flow is a stateless vm (not from pool) name 'test-stateless', creation on '2016-05-26 10:00:16,386'.
you can see that the snapshot creation is called for and reported as successful but nothing happens and no error is reported as well:

Had to remove the vm by removing all entries in DB and deleting from storage.

Comment 5 Liron Aravot 2016-05-29 08:52:42 UTC 
this issue was fixed by change Ia1405b6010cfebc5cdbe4ac8c87822ea6fc0fd72 (https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/57826/), which was included in the master branch before the ovirt-engine-4 branch was created but after the latest build (as i see in the tags).
so, it should be fixed in the next 4 build, the patch added in the tacker isn't relevant for that issue.
Comment 6 sefi litmanovich 2016-06-05 10:51:39 UTC 
Tried to verify, works with regular stateless vm flow.
Failed with vm pool flow:
1. Create vm pool.
2. Give some user permissions on the pool.
3. Allocate a vm from the pool with that user.

In this case I still get the same behaviour.. stateless snapshot is created and stuck on locked disk forever.
Putting back to assigned because I think this should be included in this bug, if someone thinks otherwise let me know, I will verify it for 'normal' stateless vm and open a bug specific for vm pools vms.

Comment 8 sefi litmanovich 2016-06-05 11:32:24 UTC 
Verifying as this bug concerns only the flow of starting a stateless vm as admin, the other bug concerns allocating a vm as user (from user portal - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1342795 )
