Bug Description
Image snapshot through the VC cluster driver may fail if, within the datacenter containing the cluster managed by the driver, there are one or more hosts in maintenance mode with access to the datastore containing the disk image snapshot.
A sign that this situation has occurred is the appearance in the nova compute log of an error similar to the following:
2013-08-02 07:10:30.036 WARNING nova.virt.
value = "task-228"
_type = "Task"
} status: error The operation is not allowed in the current state.
What this means is that even if all hosts in cluster are running fine in normal mode, a host outside of the cluster going into maintenance mode may
lead to snapshot failure.
The root cause of the problem is due to an issue in VC's handler of the VirtualDiskMana

I am looking into a more reliable means to perform the disk deletion.
