      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:

                  [09:17 shineyg8-2-1 ~]# xe vm-list uuid=547501f1-51e5-67ea-771d-304ad95145aa params=snapshot-of

                    That's because you need to use xe snapshot-param-list.

                        @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.
