Problem conclusion
During vSnap startup, multiple services independently start and attempt to initialize or upgrade the internal configuration database. Depending on the timing and order of service startup, the configuration database may be initialized by a more privileged service with restricted permissions and thus become read-only from the point of a view of a less privileged service. The issue has been resolved by improving the timing and ordering of startup of vSnap services to ensure that the configuration is initialized with the appropriate privileges that make it accessible to all vSnap services.
