Bug 1301892

Moving to POST:

http://post-office.corp.redhat.com/archives/rhvirt-patches/2016-January/msg00530.html

Reproduce this bug with:
libvirt-1.2.17-13.el7_2.2.x86_64

Steps:
1.In esx 6.0,find a guest,modify it's vmx file as below:
From:
ide1:0.deviceType = "cdrom-image"
ide1:0.fileName =  "/vmfs/volumes/f0a07907-3759bde7/en_win_srv_2003_r2_enterprise_with_sp2_cd1_X13-05460.iso"                        ide1:0.present = "TRUE"

to:
ide1:0.deviceType = "cdrom-image"
ide1:0.fileName = "emptyBackingString"    ----> modify this value                                                     
ide1:0.present = "TRUE"

2.Save the above change,from vsphere client,I can see in "CD/DVD driver 1" shows iso File path as "[]".

3.Use virsh to connect the esx server and dumpxml the xml of the above guest.
# virsh -c esx://$esx/?no_verify=1
Enter username for $esx [root]: 
Enter root's password for $esx: 

virsh # list --all
 Id    Name                           State

virsh # dumpxml test-juzhou
error: internal error: Invalid or not yet handled value 'emptyBackingString' for VMX entry 'ide1:0.fileName' for device type 'cdrom-image'

Verify the bug with:
libvirt-1.2.17-13.el7_2.3.x86_64

In the steps as above,in step3,the result shows as below:
virsh # dumpxml test-juzhou

For the guest,the xml file can be got successfully via virsh dumpxml,so the bug is fixed and move the bug to VERIFIED.
