Snapshot date/time returned in xml seems to be mis-aligned

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • The default image (in the snapshot TAB) of the VM has a time associated which is I believe the create_date/creation_date
  • The issue is when 2 snapshots this VM are taken, the Date/Time associated with the snapshot is shifted down.
For Example:
============

[Without any snapshot]

============================================
Date                  Description     Disks
Current               <jasontestvm>   Disk 1
============================================
  • Querying through REST-API (curl) at this stage gives the following:
===snip===

<snapshot id="5baa4d90-848e-42dd-9a01-8b90d42ca1b1"
<description>_ActiveImage_jasontestvm_Mon Feb 11 18:21:32 UTC 2013</description>
<date>2013-02-11T18:19:17.000Z</date>

===snip===
  • Now TWO snapshots of this VM are taken.
  • So the RHEV-Manager-Admin-Portal displays this as:
=========================================================================
Date                  Description                               Disks
Current               <jasontestvm>                             Disk 1
2013-Feb-11, 18:21    Snap - created 2-11-2012 at 1321          Disk 1   
2013-Jan-23, 15:40    test 2                                    Disk 1
=========================================================================
  • Querying through REST-API (curl) at this stage gives the following:
===snip===

 Base Image:

<snapshot id="5baa4d90-848e-42dd-9a01-8b90d42ca1b1"
<description>_ActiveImage_jasontestvm_Mon Feb 11 18:21:32 UTC 2013</description>
<date>2013-02-11T18:19:17.000Z</date>

 Second-Snapshot:

<snapshot id="6981100b-a0d7-4824-956a-1253905f4775"
<description>Snap - created 2-11-2013 at 1321</description>
<date>2013-01-23T15:45:49.000Z</date> --------> This is the time of the "Base_Image"

 First Snapshot:

<snapshot id="e47f2555-1e56-45cd-b1b0-ce0f523e71ee"
<description>test 2</description>
<date>2013-01-23T15:36:24.000Z</date> --------> This is the time of the "SecondSnapshot"

===snip===
  • Wherein the ordering of the snapshots is like:

<Default-Image> | +--<Second-Snapshot> | +--<First-Snapshot>
  • RHEV-Manager seems to shift the creation-times also Downwards. So the creation times are assigned like below:

<Default-Image> | +--<Second-Snapshot> <<<-----Assigned creation time of Default-Image | +--<First-Snapshot> <<<------Assigned creation time of Second-Snapshot
