Hi Anshul and All, I knew it is off topic here but you guys have good knowledge on snapshots in CloudStack. So that I pointed my issues in this thread, Please help me.
I would like to know necessary steps to be taken after getting below list of errors while creating volume-snapshot, In the CloudStack web UI,snapshots(scheduled recurring daily volume snapshot policy) a. Alert I was removing entries from UI and updating in Cloud Database (if any entries related to this snapshot) to destroy state.In this case,tried to remove entry from the UI if not happened am hacking database and updating this snapshot state to destroy (snapshot and snapshot_store_ref) b. Allocated I was removing entries from UI and updating in Cloud Database (if any entries related to this snapshot) to destroy state. In this case, removing snapshot from the UI throwing errors so that am updating in the database (select state from snapshot where id=) to BackedUp then able to remove it from UI with some exceptions and then after updating the database snapshot table's state to destroy. Here no snapshot_store_ref table entries for this snapshot. c. backingup I was removing entries from UI and Cloud Database (if any entries related to this snapshot) to destroy state . In this case,entries are being created in snapshot & snapshot_store_ref tables. SO that am updating on both tables state's to destroy then deleting vhd file from secondary storage as it was not fully completed snapshot vhd. d.no entries regarding about snapshot info on UI and database In this case, am doing cloud management service restart,there after next scheduled volume snapshots are creating but not already skipped volume snapshots for the day. Reason for this we could not identified till date, Even in management logs also no information. In all the above cases, the reason could be network disruptions or any other things. we are still investigating on this (please let us know if you are suspecting any reasons). My question is on the above cases, 1. Is it possible to re-initiate snapshot creation/continue in any case of above listed errors because these are scheduled snapshot policy (daily) 2. Was all the process taking on above errors to remove error snapshots, correct? if not please suggest solutions Please review and suggest solutions Thanks, Anil.
