Description mliu 2011-04-29 07:15:19 UTC

Description of problem:
When create storage volume, if I input 50 characters as volume name, the error message will popup "Volume Parameter Error: Storage object name must be a string between 0 and 50 characters".

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-manager-0.8.6-4.el6.noarch

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the "Host Details" page.
4. Click Storage tab on Host Details dialogue.
5. Click on one active storage pool at the left area.
6. Click New Volume button
7. Input the Volume name include 50 characters, such as "aaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbccccccccccddddddddddeeeeeeeeee"
  
Actual results:

Get the error message: "Volume Parameter Error: Storage object name must be a string between 0 and 50 characters"

I think the volume name include 4 default characters : '.img', so we only can input 46 characters. But the VM name support 50 characters. 

Expected results:
The volume should be created successfully

Additional info:

Comment 1 mliu 2011-04-29 07:22:08 UTC

And the error message "Volume Parameter Error: Storage object name must be a
string between 0 and 50 characters" is not proper.
The name should not be 0 characters, it should between 1 and 50.

Comment 2 Cole Robinson 2011-06-10 22:20:38 UTC

We need to tweak this validation check in virtinst
