Why I can not update some properties of running VMs?
Issue
- When I try to edit any property of a running VM I'm presented with the following error:
<vm_name>:
Failed updating the properties of the VM. This may be caused either by:
1. The values selected are not appropriate for the VM; or
2. Its values cannot be updated while the VM is in UP state (Please shut down the VM in order to modify properties such as CPU or cluster).
/var/log/ovirt-engine/engine.log
log file shows the following error messages:
