Hi there, I receive this error when I run nova image-create <VM name> <Vm Sanpshot name>:
Okay, you're talking in the context of OpenStack.
You can also check the Nova compute.log for more contextual details of why the operation failed.
Exception during message handling: block copy still active: domain has active block job
In libvirt log file I can see: error : qemuDomainDefineXML:6312 : block copy still active: domain has active block job
Libvirt is 1.2.7 version, linux system is Debian Wheezy
Please, what does it mean ?
It means, according to libvirt, there's an unfinished `blockcopy` (Copy a disk backing image chain to destination ) operation.
If you can find the associated libvirt guest name, you can try the below maybe.
For the Nova libvirt guest that you're trying to create a snapshot of, find the location of its current block device:
$ virsh domblklist instance-YYYYYYYYY
Then check if there are active block operaations for that disk:
$ virsh blockjob instance-YYYYYYYYY /path/to/libvirt/disk/ --info
If there is any operation and if it is a test environment, you can run the below to abort the block operation in progress:
$ virsh blockjob instance-YYYYYYYYY /path/to/libvirt/disk/ --abort.
Please the man page of `virsh` for more details.
Thank for your response, I'm quite new on libvirt... 1) virsh blockjob ... -info gave me an empyt list 2( virsh blockjob ... -abort gave me this error: error: Requested operation is not valid: another job on disk 'vda' is still being ended.... ..but what ? I'm looking at the man page of virsh to find an useful option for me... Regards Fiorenza -- Spazio Web S.r.l. V.
