Issue

  • The vm_snapshot_id entries in the images tables for some Virtual Machines in the RHEV database contained a zero UUID, e.g.
# psql -U engine -c "select image_guid,image_group_id,vm_snapshot_id from images where image_group_id = '8283094b-096c-4e8f-9421-e96a92b9dd4f';"

              image_guid              |            image_group_id            |            vm_snapshot_id

  • In some cases, a snapshot_id field in the snapshots table was also zero, e.g.
# psql -U engine -c "select snapshot_id,vm_id from snapshots where vm_id = '3c47241e-87b6-493d-adfb-2abf894ee846';"
             snapshot_id              |                vm_id
