Bringing the discussion back online...
Okay so figured out what was going on (to see what the actual error was,
please read the latest email in the conversation). Classes in
hyperv/hyperv_wmi_generator.input
a) Msvm_MemorySettingData
b) Msvm_ProcessorSettingData
c) Msvm_VirtualSystemSettingData
Have been upgraded to the definitions found at the new v2 doc
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh850176(v=vs.85).aspx,
I put in this note at the beginning of the
hyperv/hyperv_wmi_generator.input file.
With these changes and a few other minor ones, I can confirm that the
functionality mimics the hyperv 2008 version. That is, we get the same
functionality (supported vs non-supported drivers).
However, this might also mean the end of support of Hyper-V 2008 if it is
just a replace of the existing classes. What do you guys think? Should we
continue to support 2008 (~6 years old) OR is it OK to assume that Hyperv-V
2012 will be the default standard moving forward.
Thanks,
Vik.

Hi Matthias,
Well... from more testing what I found is that openwsman breaks during
serialization.
When I run against hyper-v 2012 r2
---------------------------------------------
virsh # list --all
*1984 testing-1 running*
---------------------------------------------
virsh # dumpxml testing-1

*-------------------------------------------------*
I was also looking at
http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-July/msg00768.html and
found that you submitted a patch. It looks like from class
class Msvm_VirtualSystemSettingData
property *SystemName*
is being returned NULL or is is non existent in the pull response. Any pointers as to how
can I check what is being returned in the pull response (if any)?
Thanks!
Vik.
