Note when testing this that content_host.description has been removed and migrated to the existing field host.comment.

    Fixes #14821: remove description from content host.
    
    Viewing/updating description on content host is no longer supported
    as viewing/updating the comment field on host replaces this field.
    This commit removes the description field output from hammer for
    content hosts.

Comment 8 Sachin Ghai 2016-05-12 10:01:59 UTC
Verified with sat6.2 GA snap10

As per host-unification feature, we don't have --description in hammer for content-host. This has been migrated to host as --comment.

~]# hammer -u admin -p changeme host create --help | grep comment
 --comment COMMENT                         Additional information about this host
[root@cloud- ~]# hammer -u admin -p changeme host update --help | grep comment
 --comment COMMENT                         Additional information about this host


Content-host doesn't have 'create' sub-command and neither --description option for "content-host update"


Here I updated the description/comment of a existing host:


[root@cloud- ~]# hammer -u admin -p changeme host list | grep test-host-comment
5  | test-host-comment 

# hammer -u admin -p changeme host update --comment 'testing description fields' --id 5
Host updated
