      I previously opened a forum topic about xe sr-create ignoring the name-description parameter, but the last comment/question there never received a response. This issue is specifically about another parameter that also appears to be ignored during SR creation: other-config:auto-scan=true.

      Forum thread:
      https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/12213/xapi-sr-create-ignores-name-description-parameter

      When creating an SR with:

      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  
                      ...
         other-config (MRW):
                      ...

      the SR is created successfully, but the other-config:auto-scan=true value is not present afterwards.

      Expected behavior:

      • other-config:auto-scan=true should be persisted during sr-create
      • or the command should explicitly reject unsupported parameters instead of silently ignoring them

      Actual behavior:

      • parameter appears to be silently ignored during creation

      Environment

          @mdm Similar to the name-description parameter, the CLI ignores this parameter.

          The expected way to use would be to set the field value after the SR has been created.

          I'll make a work item to change the CLI and warn of ignored parameters so confusion like this doesn't happen
