RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description YunmingYang 2021-06-29 05:30:26 UTC 
Description of problem:
For a shutoff VM, attach disk by 'virsh attach-device ${domain} ${device_xml}'

And here is the xml of device:
<disk type="volume" device="disk">
    <driver name="qemu" type="qcow2" cache="default"/>
    <source volume="${volume_name}" pool="${pool_name}"/>
    <target dev="vda" bus="virtio"/>
</disk>

Then create a snapshot for the VM with this disk by "virsh snapshot-create-as ${domain_name} ${snapshot_name}"

And then, try to delete this snapshot by "virsh snapshot-delete ${domain_name} --snapshotname ${snapshot_name}". 

And there will be an error like "
error: Failed to delete snapshot ${snapshot_name}
error: Requested operation is not valid: can't manipulate inactive snapshots of disk 'vda'
"

How reproducible:
100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1 Prepare a shutoff VM
2 attach disk by 'virsh attach-device --persistent ${domain_name} ${xml_path}'
  and here is the xml:
  <disk type="volume" device="disk">
    <driver name="qemu" type="qcow2" cache="default"/>
    <source volume="${volume_name}" pool="${pool_name}"/>
    <target dev="vda" bus="virtio"/>
  </disk>
3 Create a snapshot by "virsh snapshot-create-as ${domain_name} ${snapshot_name}"
4 Delete the snapshot by "virsh snapshot-delete ${domain_name} ${snapshot_name}"


Actual results:
1 After step 4, there will be an error "
error: Failed to delete snapshot ${snapshot_name}
error: Requested operation is not valid: can't manipulate inactive snapshots of disk 'vda'
"

Expected results: 
1 After step 4, The snapshot can be deleted

commit 97e4fb3c106fe38c1440e762014390a9821a4d69
Author: Peter Krempa <pkrempa>

    qemu: snapshot: Translate 'volume' disks before attempting offline snapshot manipulation
    
    When the VM is inactive the 'virStorageSource' struct doesn't have the
    necessary data pointing to the actual storage. This is a problem for
    inactive snapshot operations on VMs which use disk type='volume'.
    
    Add the translation steps for reversion and deletion of snapshots.

[root@dell-per740xd-25 ~]# rpm -qa | grep ^libvirt-7
libvirt-7.7.0-3.el9.x86_64

1. having a shutoff vm with disk type = 'volume'
[root@dell-per740xd-25 ~]# virsh vol-list images-1

    </disk>

[root@dell-per740xd-25 ~]# virsh domstate vm1
shut off

2. create internal snapshot for it
[root@dell-per740xd-25 ~]# virsh snapshot-create-as vm1 s1
Domain snapshot s1 created	Snapshot created succesfully and can be found in qcow2 file

[root@dell-per740xd-25 ~]# qemu-img info /var/lib/avocado/data/avocado-vt/images/vda.qcow2 | grep s1 -B2
