Bug 1131932

This issue is similar to bug #1091688.

Since version 3.3 of RHEV, our script to create virtual machines
automatically have been unable to update the VM description.  This is
rather fatal for us, as we use the description to track the VM status
across several stages in the creation process.

This is how the script fail:

[root@rhev ~]# kinit -t /etc/sssd/krb5.keytab -k linuxsystem_ro@REALM; RHEVPASSWD=$(cat /etc/rhevm/admin-password) ./x.py -d
Found vm test.uio.no (under installation)
updating description
error: Updating VMs failed: 
status: 400
reason: Bad Request
detail: If Domain supplied, Domain name expected to be supplied as well.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./x.py", line 94, in <module>
    main()
  File "./x.py", line 91, in main
    raise e
ovirtsdk.infrastructure.errors.RequestError: 
status: 400
reason: Bad Request
detail: If Domain supplied, Domain name expected to be supplied as well.
[root@rhevm ~]# 


This is the script in question.  Note, the failing call is the
vm.update() call after setting the description.

Can we get access to the RPM mentioned in bug #1091688 to test if it
solve our problem?
