We received an exception as follows, but cannot figure out further what the complaint was about:
WBEMException: CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER (Type of property or key cannot be a null!)
With the help from CIM client team to log additional info in exception as below, we realized what was missing.
WBEMException: CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER (Type of property or key cannot be a null! property=SystemCreationClassName, objectpath=root/virt:KVM_ResourcePoolConfigurationService.CreationClassName="KVM_ResourcePoolConfigurationService",Name="RPCS",SystemCreationClassName="",SystemName=""; method=CreateResourceInPool)
Thought that would be a useful enhancement to log the extra text in the exception like above.
