Doc Text:
In an earlier version of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, sometimes metadata on a host became corrupted and VDSM sent the engine a "general" exception. The pool SPM ID value was incorrectly set to "None". When this happened, VDSM threw a general exception saying "MetaDataParamError: Meta Data parameter invalid: ('Version or spm id invalid')". Now when this happens, the engine reconstructs the master. This repairs the metadata.

Description Leonid Natapov 2012-06-18 15:04:49 UTC
[Storage] Engine should  do reconstruct  master  to take care the situation when the metadata is corrupted and vdsm sends to engine "general" exception. 
We have situation when metadata file on a host got corrupted. Pool SPM ID value is 'None' (which is wrong) in metadata file.
In this case vdsm troughs general exception saying MetaDataParamError: Meta Data parameter invalid: ('Version or spm id invalid',).In such a case engine should do reconstruct master in order to fix the metadata.

log files are attached.
