Dear all,
At ACS User Group Virtual day on Thursday somebody mentioned that VM snapshot
revert functionality is not working for ACS 4.15 + XCP-NG.
After some tests similar results were observed.
* ACS 4.15 + XCP-NG 8.2.
* OS tested:
* Centos 7 latest installed as "Centos Other 64 bit"
* Ubuntu 20.04 LTS server installed as "Ubuntu Other 64"
* VM Snapshot (disk only) can be made but when reverted:
* the following error appears in GU: Unexpected exception
* When reverting Centos snapshot - the following error appears in logs:
Revert VM: i-2-4002-VM to snapshot: i-2-4002-VM_VS_20210531124241 failed due to
Hypervisor com.cloud.hypervisor.xenserver.resource.XenServer650Resource
doesn't support guest OS type Other CentOS (64-bit). you can choose 'Other
install media' to run it as HVM
* When reverting Ubuntu snapshot - Caused by:
com.cloud.utils.exception.CloudRuntimeException: Revert VM: i-2-4003-VM to
snapshot: i-2-4003-VM_VS_20210531125227 failed due to Hypervisor
com.cloud.hypervisor.xenserver.resource.XenServer650Resource doesn't support
guest OS type Other Ubuntu (64-bit). you can choose 'Other install media' to
run it as HVM
However snapshots that include disk and memory can be reverted without any
issue. Any idea why this happens and how to approach the issue?
Snapshot of volumes works properly. Btw what does "Async backup" option for
volume snapshots do exactly? I could not find it in documentation nor it
presents any specific options when enabled?
Best regards,
Jordan
