Error: "Null value was assigned to a property of primitive type setter of com.vmware.vcloud.common.model.VmSnapshotViewModel.snapshotUid" when attempting to view or delete snapshots of Virtual Machine

Products

• VMware Cloud Director

Issue/Introduction

• After upgrading to Cloud Director 10.6 you cannot view or delete snapshots of Virtual Machine (VM) inside VMware Cloud Director (VCD) User Interface (UI).
• However, the snapshots can be viewed inside vCenter and looks correct. 
• You receive an error message in the VCD UI when attempting to view, delete or manage snapshots:
  
  Null value was assigned to a property of primitive type setter of com.vmware.vcloud.common.model.VmSnapshotViewModel.snapshotUid

Environment

VMware Cloud Director 10.6

Cause

VMware Cloud Director 10.6 introduced the ability to have more than 1 snapshot.

This issue occurs when Snapshots exist in VMware Cloud Director's database that don't exist in vCenter.

Resolution

To resolve this issue, you need to remove the stale snapshot entries from VCD database and to upgrade to Cloud Director 10.6.1 to avoid the issue again.
