Comment 3 for bug 1441235

On further debugging, checking the ESXi hostd logs, contains this error

2015-04-17T06:28:49.081Z [FFD60920 verbose 'Vmsvc.vm:/vmfs/volumes/535f3d61-7c0442d6-56c9-62552a500042/OSTACK_SNAP_3dce2adb-fbe0-49ff-a606-aed25f69c875/OSTACK_SNAP_3dce2adb-fbe0-49ff-a606-aed25f69c875.vmx' opID=2a248111-4f-bb user=vpxuser] Is disk present message: Expected device (ide0:1) does not exist.

OSTACK_SNAP_3dce2adb-fbe0-49ff-a606-aed25f69c875 is the name of the OVF template which is being created as part of CreateSnapshot_Task

The OVF template does not get created and hence snapshot operation fails

Changed the adapter type to "lsiLogic" in glance image, still the same error
