This is the result of some peculiar behavior with the Export-Clixml command where it automatically converts "_x" to "_x005F_x". I suspect this is ultimately an artifact of xquery behavior. The described bug occurs when a VM name contains the characters "_x", for example "test_x". The Powershell cmdlet that exports the inventory hash to XML (Export-CLIXML) escapes _x to _x005F_x. This is something we cannot prevent from happening and I see no way to address it in CF in a scalable way. I think it would be helpful to create a KB article on this. Re-opening for a documentation note if that makes sense. Thanks Dave, makes sense to me. |
Created attachment 1207834 [details] screen from CFME vs RDP(scvmm) Description of problem:if VM name contains "_x" it will be shown as "_x005F_x" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):5.6.2.1 / 5.7.0.3 How reproducible:100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.Provision VM with "test_x" name on SCVMM 2.Request will stuck on Verifying New VM 3. Actual results:VM is getting provisioned , but with "test_x005Fx" name, but on provider's UI VM name is correct - test_x (you can also just rename existing VM on SCVMM to have "_x") Expected results:"test_x" vm in CFME Additional info:this affects only SCVMM, other infra/cloud providers are fine
