What does 'virsh blockjob serv1r2 vda' report?

If it's something like this:

$ virsh blockjob fedora23 vda
Active Block Commit: [100 %]

Then you just need to finalize the block job by:

virsh blockjob --pivot serv1r2 vda

If that's not the case, please post what virsh blockjob is reporting and
the <disk> part of the XML.

In case where libvirt falsely thinks that the job did not finish I'll
guide you how to recover it, since restarting libvirtd would make
libvirt clear the block job busy flag, but libvirt would lose the
metadata.
