-------------------------------------------------

             Summary: Concurrent volume snapshots of a VM are not allowed and 
are not limited per host as per the global configuration parameter 
"concurrent.snapshots.threshold.perhost".
                 Key: CLOUDSTACK-9733
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-9733
             Project: CloudStack
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)
          Components: Snapshot, Volumes
            Reporter: Suresh Kumar Anaparti
            Assignee: Suresh Kumar Anaparti
             Fix For: 4.10.0.0


Before the VM job framework changes (CLOUDSTACK-669), Concurrent volume (both 
root and data) snapshots were allowed per host based on the value of global 
config "concurrent.snapshots.threshold.perhost". The volumes could belong to 
the same VM or spread across multiple VMs on a given host. The synchronisation 
was done based on the host (Id).

As part of the VM job framework changes (CLOUDSTACK-669) in CloudStack 4.4.0, a 
separate job queue was introduced for individual VMs with a concurrency level 
of 1 (i.e. all operations to a given VM are serialized). Volume snapshot was 
also considered as a VM operation as part of these changes  and goes through 
the VM job queue. These changes made the config 
"concurrent.snapshots.threshold.perhost" obsolete (it was also no longer 
getting honoured, since there is no single point of enforcement).

Only one volume snapshot of a VM is allowed at any given point of time as the 
sync object is the VM (id). So concurrent volume snapshots of a VM are not 
allowed and are not limited per host as per the global configuration parameter 
"concurrent.snapshots.threshold.perhost".

This functionality needs to be re-introduced to execute more than 1 snapshot of 
a VM at a time (when the underlying hypervisor supports) and snapshots should 
be limited per host based on the value of 
"concurrent.snapshots.threshold.perhost"at the cluster level (for more 
flexibility).
