67 | 51 | Known Issues |
68 | 52 | ------------ |
69 | 53 |
|
70 | | -• Starting 4.21 VM snapshots are supported for instances on KVM hosts. However, volume snapshots and VM snapshots cannot coexist. |
71 | | - Restoring a volume snapshot will remove any existing VM snapshots and may lead to data loss. |
72 | | - There is a UI issue where error messages in such scenarios may not clearly indicate the problem. |
73 | | - |
74 | | -• When managing and unmanaging UEFI-based VMs on KVM hosts, migration of such VMs may fail in certain scenarios. |
75 | | - This typically occurs when a VM that was unmanaged and later re-imported is started on a different host and then |
76 | | - migrated back to its original host. The migration fails because the VM domain still exists on the original host, |
77 | | - resulting in a conflict. As a workaround, manually remove the old domain from the original host before attempting the migration again. |
| 54 | +• Restoring a backed up volume and attaching it to a VM can fail on KVM hosts, across NFS, Linstor and Ceph |
| 55 | + primary storage, due to a regression in the restore-and-attach command handling. See |
| 56 | + https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/14007 for details and status. |
