Description of problem: after update to 2.2.6, hosts fail to connect to storage pool if POOL_DESCRIPTION field is missing from metadata Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.2.6 vdsm22-4.5-63.21.el5_6 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.upgrade host to vdsm22-4.5-63.21.el5_6 2.activate 3. Actual results: Thread-73::ERROR::2011-03-10 11:34:20,584::sp::1149::irs::Pool metadata error Thread-73::ERROR::2011-03-10 11:34:20,585::misc::66::irs::Error storage pool action: ('303454af-9d07-4db1-a91a-5293665d4940',) Thread-73::ERROR::2011-03-10 11:34:20,607::misc::67::irs::Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/vdsm/storage/task.py", line 978, in _run return fn(*args, **kargs) File "/usr/share/vdsm/storage/hsm.py", line 1094, in public_getStoragePoolInfo return self.getPool(spUUID).getInfo() File "/usr/share/vdsm/storage/sp.py", line 1150, in getInfo raise se.StoragePoolActionError(self.spUUID) StoragePoolActionError: Error storage pool action: ('303454af-9d07-4db1-a91a-5293665d4940',) Expected results: connect SP even if field is missing produce an error describing which field is missing if an unused field is missing, raise a WARN, and don't fail the entire process Additional info: downgrading host to 2.2.5 fixes issue After checking the actual code, it seems like in 2.2.6 in sp.py the getInfo is using try/except to parse SP metadata, and that fails on POOL_DESCRIPTION in 2.2.5 if/elif was used, and if POOL_DESCRIPTION was missing, the parser would just continue. We could not find why the field is missing though, but 1.
Checked on vdsm22-4.5-63.23. Both connectStoragePool and getStoragePoolInfo are successful, and I am able to get SPM.

Storage domains with missing pool_description used to fail connection to storage pool. This fix returns an empty description instead of failing the operation.+In certain cases, the "POOL_DESCRIPTION" field was removed from the storage domain metadata. As a result, storage domains with a missing "POOL_DESCRIPTION" field failed to connect to a storage pool. With this update, an empty description is used in the "POOL_DESCRIPTION" field when the field is undefined, thus, no longer causing failures to connect.
