[Xen-API] Difficulties creating a VDI

[Double-U <double-u@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Lastly I've been trying to create a VDI with XAPI (latest Debian pkg, version: 0.1+1318941016-1) on a file-based SR. 

Based on this call (generated by Apache XMLRPC client, comment added):

The name and description aren't passed on apparently and the boolean values are all zero (shareable should be 1). 

Here is the output from xe vd-list:

uuid ( RO)                : 058b84a0-61b1-40fa-a9d0-1e454c351e17

          name-label ( RW): 

    name-description ( RW): 

             sr-uuid ( RO): e9b69e07-c83f-d965-eeaf-0188a2bf6e70

        virtual-size ( RO): 1073741824

            sharable ( RO): false

           read-only ( RO): false

This seems to be a bug or am I missing something?

Kind regards,

W
