      Sorry, what I meant to say was that if I use XenCenter to examine the VM (going to the snapshot tab) I see the snapshots properly. I also seem them linked properly in XOCE by going to "Home -> VM -> [Pick Any VM}".

      Didnt mean to cause confusion..

        Ping @badrAZ or @Rajaa-BARHTAOUI who updated the orphaned feature.

        If the snapshot disk is correctly attached to a VM snapshot, it shouldn't be displayed there.

          Hi @Anonabhar

          Thank you for your report.

          The XO logic is based on the snapshot_of property which indicates if a snapshot is attached to a VM or not.

          After looking at your issue, it means that this property isn't correctly updated on migrating a VM with snapshots to a freshly installed XCP 8.1.

          I'm not able to reproduce it on migrating a VM with a snapshot from an old XCP 8.1 to a freshly installed XCP 8.1.

            Hi @badrAZ ,

            Thanks for the info. Is there any way I can view what properties are on the snapshot to check this? (and report back)

            As a side-note, I have also just taken a snapshot of a VM that was not migrated in and it is also showing the same behavior in the "Dashboard -> Health" screen.

            Kind Regards,
            ~Peg

              Yes, you can get the snapshot's record using the xo-cli.

              The command is

              xo-cli list-objects id=snapshotId

              I'll need also the record of its VM. Thank you πŸ™‚

                  Thank you for your response,

                  The field snapshot_of doesn't exist. Please give me the output of

                  xe vm-list uuid=snapshotUuid params=snapshot-of

                  Thank you πŸ™‚

                    Hi @badrAZ

                    Thanks for your help. I got a really strange response (as in... Nothing...)

                    cc7640ab-1ae4-4fd8-a395-a665b75f7bad-image.png

                    [09:18 shineyg8-2-1 ~]# xe vm-list uuid=c830ce0b-d03d-9cb4-53ce-fbd0bc258208 params=snapshot-of
                    [09:19 shineyg8-2-1 ~]#
                    

                    But if I do it against the original (base) VM I get:

                          @Anonabhar It seems that the property snapshot-of isn't correctly reported by XO. Did you tried to disconnect/reconnect the server containing this snapshot to see if it resolves your issue?

                          And please give me the version of your xo-server.

                            Hi @badrAZ

                            Well.. Monkey Poo!!!!! 😎

                            Disconnecting the server and re-enabling the server did clear the issue. I have made a few snapshots and run a few backups to cause snapshots to be rotated and all is looking good..

                            Something must have been stuck in the original connection?

                            FYI:

                            Please mark this as solved...

                              Which isn't normal is the fact XO should "reset" the connection and fetch all objects again to avoid "partial" object info… @badrAZ we should investigate on that, we can't rely on just disconnect/reconnect in such situations.
