Openstack snapshot creation
Hi
I created a snapshot of one of my openstack instances. Status for that
created snapshot image remains as "Queued" for a long time period now.
Does the snapshopt creation is completed and is it ok if I start working on
that instance ?
Thanks

Ah.. yes.

I think you could work on the instance, but you can't expect those new
changes to be reflected in the snapshot.
You can spin up a new instance using the snapshot, and I'm not sure whether
you can restore to snapshot within the same instance.

Thanks for the reply. I think the issue is that the instance is a medium
size one (RAM: 4GB, VCPUs: 2 VCPU and Disk: 40GB). Hence it takes some time
to create the snapshot.
I need to know whether it is possible for me to start working on the
instance when the snapshot status is "Queued" and in case if I need, would
I be able to restore to that created snapshot? ( Because it takes long time
for snapshot creation and if I start working on the instance snapshopt
status will be as "Queued" in this senario).
Thanks

"Queued" doesn't sound like it's ready. If you can give a little more
information on your setup, we could help I guess.
