Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, when trying to attach an imported storage domain that carried existing metadata to an uninitialized data center, an exception from VDSM was returned with no proper warning message. With this update, the storage domain is checked for existing metadata and an error message is provided to advise users to attach a clean storage domain first.

Maor, please provide doctext for this bug (and the 3.6.0 too, while you're at it).

Hi Allon, I'm having trouble understanding this bug but Maor is on PTO. Please let me know if the doc text is not correct.

Kind regards,
Julie

The doctext seems correct, although I wonder if the phrasing could be improved.
The underlying issue is that VDSM cannot attach an old storage domain with metadata leftovers (i.e., a storage domain that was not cleanly put to maintenance and disconnected from its old setup) to an uninitialized datacenter.

In 3.5.0 (before this fix), we would attempt to attach it, and fail with an ugly exception from VDSM.

In 3.5.1 (after this fix), we check the domain before attempting to attach it, and if it has metadata leftovers, a human-readable CanDoAction message that explains the situation and how to rectify is is displayed.

Thanks Allon. I have updated the doc text again.

Kind regards,
