@psafont Thank you for the quick response.

I also found a similar issue: the other-config:auto-scan=true parameter is not being applied during xe sr-create either. As with the name-description parameter, the workaround is to add it separately afterwards using xe sr-param-add.

Hello,

I’m not entirely sure whether this is a bug or expected behavior, so I’d like to ask for clarification here.

When creating an SR using xe sr-create with the name-description parameter, the command succeeds but the value is not persisted.

After creation, xe sr-list shows an empty name-description field. However, the value can be set correctly afterwards using xe sr-param-set.

Steps to reproduce:

xe sr-create name-label="NFS-SR-01" name-description="NFS storage repository for VM disks" type=nfs content-type=user shared=true device-config:server=192.168.1.50 device-config:serverpath=/export/xe-storage other-config:auto-scan=true
b3c2a7d1-6f2e-4a91-9d3f-1a2c9d8e7f10


xe sr-list uuid=b3c2a7d1-6f2e-4a91-9d3f-1a2c9d8e7f10 
uuid ( RO)                : b3c2a7d1-6f2e-4a91-9d3f-1a2c9d8e7f10  
          name-label ( RW): NFS-SR-01  
    name-description ( RW):  
                host ( RO): <shared>  
                type ( RO): nfs  
        content-type ( RO): user

Result:
name-description is empty.

Workaround:

xe sr-param-set uuid=<SR_UUID> name-description="test description"

Expected behavior:
The name-description value should be saved during sr-create.

Actual behavior:
The parameter is ignored without error.

Environment:
XCP-ng 8.3
