KVM Snapshot not supported for Running VMs

Good morning guys,

Certainly! Here's a corrected version of your query:

I'm having this error when making a snapshot with a running machine. Have
you guys enabled the `kvm.snapshot.enabled` flag?Is it safe?


*KVM Snapshot is not supported for Running VMs. It is disabled by default
due to a possible volume corruption in certain cases. To enable it, set
global settings kvm.snapshot.enabled to True. See the documentation for
more details.*


Kind Regards

it's just a warning, but I could enable it in cloudstack settings and test
it. I'm using NFS, under Netapp.

Which storage do you use as primary storage? We are using Linstor as primary storage and VM snapshots are working fine.

We use local primary storage, and have it enabled and working fine so far.
