[Animesh] Nux, as Edison mentioned KVM Snapshot are not supported in
ACS. We use customized qemu internally which allows us to take
snapshots but cannot be redistributed in ACS [Animesh] because of
license incompatibility
I know[1], my issue is not with "VM snapshots", it's with "volumes
snapshots" in the Storage section.
[1] - BTW for KVM live snapshots to work in EL6, one can simply
rebuild the stock SRPM with "rhev" option, I think, I have to test
this a bit more. See e.g.
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.ovirt.user/13381
[Animesh] VM Snapshot is not supported for KVM at this time. I am
also referring to Volume Snapshot. KVM Snapshots are not supported
for a long time. Here is an old email from Edison calling it out [2]
during 4.0 time

Guys, this is really confusing!
First of all I could swear I had this feature working on me previously
on a similar setup, second of all why has your colleague Sadhu said this
is working[1]?
Also Andrei Mikhailovsky claims in this same thread the feature is
working, though he is facing other issues (launching new VMs from volume
backups/snapshots).
What are my options now? When is KVM volume snapshot/backup expected to
work? This is basic functionality that customers will expect.
