      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 🙂

          Hi @badrAZ ,

          Ok.. I think I got the information you are wanting..

            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 🙂

              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
              snapshot-of ( RO)    : <not in database>

                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.
