Re: [libvirt] ESX: failure while performing "CastFromAnyType"

Hi Matthias,
As promised, below is the patch demonstrating the issue. One thing I lied
was its not enum that I missed but I missed one of the data objects
extended.
------------------------------
Patch is only to demonstrate the misleading error warning if
one extended data objects is not defined and an attempt to
"CastFromAny" is done on the base object.
HostHostBusAdapter is extended by:
HostBlockHba, HostInternetScsiHba, HostFibreChannelHba and
HostParallelScsiHba.
In this demo, definition of HostParallelHba is missing from
esx_vi_generator.input.
Okay, I see what you mean. In case you call
esxVI_HostHostBusAdapter_CastFromAnyType for a HostHostBusAdapter
object that is actually a HostParallelHba then you get this error
message:
Call to esxVI_HostHostBusAdapter_CastFromAnyType for unexpected type
'<other>'
I have improved this to report the actual type:
Call to esxVI_HostHostBusAdapter_CastFromAnyType for unexpected type
'HostBlockHba'
Here's the patch for this
