Devdeep Singh commented on CLOUDSTACK-647: ------------------------------------------ The issue is that while backing up a snapshot when cloudstack tries to update the parent (of the backed up vhd), vhd-util isn't present at the desired location and setParent function in vmopsSnapshot fails. This issue is observed only on Xenserver 6.1. The reason for this is, when CloudStack connects to a Xenserver and executes the SetupCommand, it copies vhd-util tool to /opt/xensource/bin directory on the host. However, in vmopsSnapshot python file 'VHD_UTIL' is initialized to /usr/sbin/. The issue is not observed on 6.0.2 (and I guess previous versions) because vhd-util is present in /usr/sbin/ directory by default (after a clean install). Whereas, in Xenserver 6.1, vhd-util is present in '/usr/bin'. Fixed the issue by updating VHD_UTIL to point to /opt/xensource/bin/vhd-util in vmopsSnapshot file. > Snapshot failing on XenServer 6.1 > --------------------------------- > > Key: CLOUDSTACK-647 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-647 > Project: CloudStack > Issue Type: Bug > Security Level: Public(Anyone can view this level - this is the > default.) > Reporter: Devdeep Singh > Assignee: Devdeep Singh > > On XenServer 6.1 launch an instance and take a snapshot of a any volume. > It'll go through successfully.
