Troubleshooting disk snapshot creation issues
Issue description
When using VM snapshots in Compute Cloud, you encounter one or more of the following issues:
- Disk snapshots are not created according to the schedule.
- You cannot create a new disk snapshot.
- You cannot create a new schedule for disk snapshots.
- When trying to create a disk snapshot, you get the
Limit compute.snapshots.count exceededorLimit compute.snapshots.size exceedederror. - When trying to create a new schedule, you get the
Limit compute.snapshotSchedules.count exceedederror.
Solution
Check the current values for the following quotas: Number of disk snapshots, Total disk snapshot size, and Number of schedules for disk snapshots. Exceeding any of them will cause snapshot creation to fail.
You can request a quota increase
Note
To request a quota increase, your IAM account needs the quota-manager.requestOperator role for the cloud where you want to increase a quota.
For more information on quotas, see Quotas and limits for Yandex Cloud services and the relevant sections and articles for the appropriate service.
