RHV fails to delete a snapshot due to incorrect image chain

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

  • When performing a VM backup, the snapshot delete operation fails.
  • In vdsm.log we can see that it fails because a volume is not present in the backing file chain:
internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'block-commit': 'libvirt-3-format' is not in this backing file chain

Environment

  • Red Hat Virtualization (RHV) 4.4 SP1
    • ovirt-engine-4.5.2.5-0.2.el8ev.noarch
    • vdsm-4.50.2.2-1.el8ev.x86_64
  • vProtect backup software
