Hi Stravos,
Jumping in a bit late on this thread...Can you share the exact management log
error.
We have ran CCP 4.3 with Xenserver, everything is generally ok; most common
snapshot issues are as follows:
Snapshot failing
----------------
The snapshotting on data volume DATA-3230 Failing. UI shows "Error"
2014-08-26 10:51:32,884 DEBUG [o.a.c.s.m.AncientDataMotionStrategy]

com.cloud.utils.exception.CloudRuntimeException: java.lang.NullPointerException
1. Show the details of the failing snapshot volume
mysql> select * from volumes where name=DATA-3230 \G
2. get the id of the volume from the above query and delete snapshots in the
'Ready' state.
delete from snapshot_store_ref where volume_id=3934 and state='Ready'
3. Snapshots will now succeed for volume DATA-3230.
Snapshot Failing
----------------
You may see the following in the logs:
2015-11-17 15:22:16,586 DEBUG [c.c.h.x.r.XenServerStorageProcessor]
(DirectAgent-339:ctx-6465ce91) (logid:9224bc6d) Failed to destroy pbd
SR_BACKEND_FAILURE_40The SR scan failed [opterr=['INTERNAL_ERROR',
'Db_exn.Uniqueness_constraint_violation("VDI", "uuid",
"e5318c7f-9434-4f1c-8695-3e82a69d2192")']]
http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX135230
Note in this example DATA-3701 snapshot is failing, but the screenshot shows
the NFS secondary storage mount for account 29, DATA-3701 belongs to account
113. So you can go through the tabs until you find
/var/cloud_mount/xxxx/snapshots/113/3701 and unplug just that volume.
In this example you will see many attached NFS secondary storage volumes on
the physical xenserver host.
1. Get the uuid of the SR from the "General" tab on the NFS storage mount.
xe sr-list uuid=84142bd7-c19c-4a39-850b-ddd30539d8ed
[root@qh2-nsp01 ~]# xe sr-list uuid=84142bd7-c19c-4a39-850b-ddd30539d8ed
uuid ( RO) : 84142bd7-c19c-4a39-850b-ddd30539d8ed
name-label ( RW):
14a68eb4-62aa-4beb-91d5-e5070ecd46a9/var/cloud_mount/b9d64979-0c47-31fe-a496-6943e9dfca63/snapshots/29/4469
name-description ( RW):
14a68eb4-62aa-4beb-91d5-e5070ecd46a9/var/cloud_mount/b9d64979-0c47-31fe-a496-6943e9dfca63/snapshots/29/4469
host ( RO): qh2-nsp01.nsp.nectar.org.au
type ( RO): file
content-type ( RO): file
2. Get the PBD UUID by using the sr-uuid from above
[root@qh2-nsp01 ~]# xe pbd-list sr-uuid=84142bd7-c19c-4a39-850b-ddd30539d8ed
uuid ( RO) : c15627c7-a968-ac1f-9794-2e3d66c0cec4
host-uuid ( RO): 14a68eb4-62aa-4beb-91d5-e5070ecd46a9
sr-uuid ( RO): 84142bd7-c19c-4a39-850b-ddd30539d8ed
device-config (MRO): location:
/var/cloud_mount/b9d64979-0c47-31fe-a496-6943e9dfca63/snapshots/29/4469
currently-attached ( RO): true
3. Unplug the pdb using the uuid from above
xe pbd-unplug uuid=c15627c7-a968-ac1f-9794-2e3d66c0cec4
4. At this point you should notice the state change to broken and a red cross
through the secondary mount point in Xencenter.
5. Finally remove the sr from the host completely using the original sr uuid.
xe sr-forget uuid=84142bd7-c19c-4a39-850b-ddd30539d8ed
6 Repeat this procedure for any other attached NFS snapshot mounts, check all
xenservers.

Adrian Sender
