the paramters received when vmCreate has a long part called custom, do we use custom infomation? what does the long key device_************************* means?
thanks

I think that bigclouds meant the bizarre-looking properties that are sent by Engine automatically, with no human interventions, per VmDevice that is reported by Vdsm but not managed by Engine:
'device_82934f8e-7470-4c46-b9ed-d1c73fb17477device_87f6330a-278d-4b2a-9674-db58eb0e7023device_a19855be-70a9-49d0-9ea4-ee746b2d9739': 'VmDevice {vmId=46914913-8bcf-4fa0-b1fb-3680ca8b6c16, deviceId=a19855be-70a9-49d0-9ea4-ee746b2d9739, device=virtio-serial, type=CONTROLLER, bootOrder=0, specParams={}, address={bus=0x00, domain=0x0000, type=pci, slot=0x06, function=0x0}, managed=false, plugged=true, readOnly=false, deviceAlias=virtio-serial0, customProperties={}, snapshotId=null}'
It was an attempt for future-compatibility, by (ab)using the custom properties interface. Certainly Eli or Igor can explain the motivation better.

Hi,
Device Custom Properties is a 3.3 feature by which you can specify custom properties for specific device types using same format as for VM properties (more info on [1]).
AFAIK only vNIC devices is currently using this feature.

No, that's not what I was refering to. I believe that bigclouds refered to a much older per-Vm custom properties. bigclouds, could you dump the vmCreate line you refer to?
