Description dgao 2012-01-03 23:29:50 UTC 
During the account creation process for vsphere, if the priority field is set to a number, hitting save would produce a blank screen.

Comment 3 Jan Provaznik 2012-01-10 14:19:22 UTC 
this is result of 3 different bugs:
1) DC API returns invalid memory range: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DTACLOUD-123

invalid range is returned only if almost all memory on vsphere server is used, IOW there is less than 128 MB free RAM. So it will be hard to reproduce/verify it's fixed.

2) when an account is added, hw profiles are fetched from DC API, but a hw profile save fails because 1) occurs. So neither hw profiles nor the account are saved. Because populate_hw_profiles is called in after_Create callback, account has not-nil id even if it wasn't saved.

3) new/edit provider account forms don't set explicitly form's url, in normal situation proper url is generated. But if 2) occurs (id is set but the accoutn is not saved), form's url points to 'update' action instead of 'create' action (rails thinks it's existing record), after submitting the form, rails raises exception 'not acceptable' to the rails log.
