Hi Eric, Live merge is not yet supported (IIRC by qemu).

OK, so given the Snapshot Actions Matrix, it should be possible to delete the snapshot via a "Live Merge" operation. So, why the delete action is not available while the VM is running? How can I enable this feature? Or maybe this feature is in the roadmap?

[Users] Ovirt 3.4rc + Qemu Live snapshot : Problem to delete a Snapshot
Hello, I upgraded to Ovirt 3.4rc allinone on centos6, and I compiled/installed the qemu-kvm-rhev to be able to take live snapshots. Taking the snapshot is OK, but I would like to delete them, and the button and the menu are disabled (grey) until I shutdown the VM. Once powered off, actions are available, and I'm able to delete snapshots. When looking the Snapshot Actions Matrix: http://www.ovirt.org/Live_Snapshots Is the "Revert" operation needed to delete a snapshot ? (Deleting a snapshot file implies to write changes from the snapshot file to the parent file, looks to be "Commit" for me). If not, should I have to upgrade something else, like libvirt, to be able to delete snapshots?
