Created attachment 1423686 [details] logs Description of problem: Basic backup restore API scenario of VM start while it has a snapshot disk attached, resides on an iSCSI domain, fails with libvirtError. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): vdsm-4.20.25-1.el7ev.ppc64le libvirt-3.9.0-14.el7_5.2.ppc64le qemu-img-rhev-2.10.0-21.el7_5.2.ppc64le sanlock-3.6.0-1.el7.ppc64le Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 7.5 (Maipo) kernel 3.10.0-862.el7.ppc64le ovirt-engine-4.2.3-0.1.el7.noarch How reproducible: 1/1 Can't re-test this as the PPC env we have in RHV QE is not available for the time being. Will re-execute the test case once the env is back. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create VM (source VM) with disk attached on iscsi domain 2. Create a snapshot for the source VM 3. Create a second VM (backup VM) 4. Attach the backup disk snapshot of source VM to the backup VM (via REST) 5. Start backup VM Actual results: Start VM fails: 2018-04-17 19:11:03,926+0300 ERROR (vm/9165385b) [virt.vm] (vmId='9165385b-f28b-4474-990b-4391f0be2b47') The vm start process failed (vm:943) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/virt/vm.py", line 872, in _startUnderlyingVm self._run() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/virt/vm.py", line 2872, in _run dom.createWithFlags(flags) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/common/libvirtconnection.py", line 130, in wrapper ret = f(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/common/function.py", line 92, in wrapper return func(inst, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 1099, in createWithFlags if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreateWithFlags() failed', dom=self) libvirtError: unsupported configuration: native I/O needs either no disk cache or directsync cache mode, QEMU will fallback to aio=threads 2018-04-17 19:11:03,926+0300 INFO (vm/9165385b) [virt.vm] (vmId='9165385b-f28b-4474-990b-4391f0be2b47') Changed state to Down: unsupported configuration: native I/O needs either no disk cache or directsync cache mode, QEMU will fallback to aio=threads (code=1) (vm:1683) Expected results: VM should start Additional info: engine.log: 2018-04-17 19:11:06,116+03 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.dal.dbbroker.auditloghandling.AuditLogDirector] (ForkJoinPool-1-worker-15) [] EVENT_ID: VM_DOWN_ERROR(119), VM backup_vm_TestCase6183_1719104052 is down with error.

Marked regression as this test has passed with rhv-4.2.2-10 on RHV automation tier1 from April 8.
likely fixed by https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/90287/, please retest with 4.2.3-2
Not specific to PPC, reproduced also on x86_64.
Michal, indeed, in 4.2.3-2 the bug does not occur. Please add the gerrit external tracker and can move to ON_QA, I'll verify. Thanks!
Start VM, with snapshot disk attached, succeeds on all storage types - tested with iscsi, fcp, nfs and gluster. Verified using: vdsm-4.20.26-1.el7ev.x86_64 libvirt-3.9.0-14.el7_5.3.x86_64 qemu-img-rhev-2.10.0-21.el7_5.2.x86_64 ovirt-engine-4.2.3.2-0.1.el7.noarch
