VM with Broken shapshot, unbootable.

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

  • I have a VM which was created some time ago, and a snapshot was taken. This was before we updated to RHEV 3.2.
  • The VM had hung, so i powered it down, and tried to start it up, and it gave me problems with the main disk, stating that it couldn't find the disk.
  • I noticed that the snapshot was still hanging around, so i deleted it.
  • The deletion process ran for some time, failed, and now reports that the snapshot is "BROKEN".
  • Need to recover the VM if possible, it's current unbootable.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.2 upgraded from 3.1
  • Broken snapshot from prior to upgrade
