   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.

Snapshot on Stopped VM

   @mihle @luhaijiao What is the use of a VM snapshot when a VM is stopped? 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)?
