RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2015:2202 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE libvirt bug fix and enhancement update 2015-11-19 08:17:58 UTC

Description zhengqin 2014-09-10 08:28:06 UTC 
From manual of virsh:

 desc domain [[--live] [--config] | [--current]] [--title] [--edit]
       [--new-desc New description or title message]
           Show or modify description and title of a domain.

Flag --title selects operation on the title field instead of description.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-1.2.8-1.el7.x86_64


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Here is help usage for command "virsh desc" with option --title:

# virsh desc --help
   NAME
     desc - show or set domain's description or title

   SYNOPSIS
     desc <domain> [--live] [--config] [--current] [--title] [--edit] 
[[--new-desc] <string>]...

   DESCRIPTION
     Allows to show or modify description or title of a domain.

   OPTIONS
     [--domain] <string>  domain name, id or uuid
     --live             modify/get running state
     --config        modify/get persistent configuration
     --current      modify/get current state configuration
     --title            modify/get the title instead of description



2. Issue following commands:

[root@rhel7-b1 ~]# virsh desc rhel7 --title
No description for domain: rhel7

[root@rhel7-b1 ~]# virsh desc rhel7 --title t1
Domain description updated successfully


Actual results:
1. The prompt info point out "No description for domain: rhel7" and 
"Domain description updated successfully"


Expected results:
1. The prompt info should be improved to "No title for domain: rhel7" and 
"Domain title updated successfully" according to its usage: "--title modify/get the title instead of description"
Comment 1 zhengqin 2014-09-10 08:37:35 UTC 
Here are about description info which should be different from title:

# virsh desc rhel7_Test
No description for domain: rhel7_Test

# virsh desc rhel7_Test desc1
Domain description updated successfully

# virsh desc rhel7_Test --title
No description for domain: rhel7_Test

# virsh desc rhel7_Test --title t1
Domain description updated successfully

# virsh desc rhel7_Test --title 
t1
Comment 2 Peter Krempa 2014-09-10 12:46:09 UTC 
Fixed upstream:

commit 78948e1c808d67648680be8c4814631abbf20d88
Author: Peter Krempa <pkrempa>
Date:   Wed Sep 10 10:46:41 2014 +0200

    virsh: desc command in --title mode mentions description instead of title
    
    Tweak the messages so that they mention "title" rather than
    "description" when operating in title mode. Also fixes one missing "%s"
    before non-formatted gettext message.
    
    Before:
     $ virsh desc --title dom
     No description for domain: dom
    
    After:
     $ virsh desc --title dom
     No title for domain: dom

v1.2.8-76-g78948e1
Comment 6 Luyao Huang 2015-05-28 07:24:32 UTC 
I can reproduce this issue with libvirt-1.2.8-16.el7.x86_64:

# virsh desc test3 --title
No description for domain: test3

# virsh desc test3 --title --edit
Domain description updated successfully

# virsh desc test3 --title --edit
Domain description not changed.

# virsh desc test3 --title 123
Domain description updated successfully

And verify this bug with libvirt-1.2.15-2.el7.x86_64：

# virsh desc test3 --title
No title for domain: test3

# virsh desc test3 --title --edit
Domain title updated successfully

# virsh desc test3 --title --edit
Domain title not changed

# virsh desc test3 --title sssss
Domain title updated successfully
