DaanHoogland commented on issue #3584: URL: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/issues/3584#issuecomment-738624570 I don't agree (obviously) with @weizhouapache (not sure if @ustcweizhou is still prefered in use?) but lets give researching it a place in next cycle. In my personal opinion a stopped VM is nothing more than a set of volumes, and a machine difinition, there is no state to snapshot, but saving the machine definition might make sense. At least the failure should be graceful with a sensible error or warning message. This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.

The only tangible thing is the disk image as a stopped VM does not have memory state. Isn't it completely appropriate to be not be able to take a VM snapshot (irrespective of the unclear error output)? This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
