      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

          This is a problem with the CLI, the parameter is not read and instead an empty string is used. The same situation happens with sr-introduce.

          It should be a very quick fix, I don't know why it was done since the beginning.

          I've opened the PRs upstream:
          https://github.com/xapi-project/xen-api/pull/7066
          https://github.com/xapi-project/xen-api/pull/7067

          psafont opened this pull request in xapi-project/xen-api

          open xapi-cli-server: set name description for SRs, when given #7066

            @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.
