Not able to update the 'description' of the tenant with empty string.

[ashahi1]

Steps:

1. Create a tenant.
2. Update the description of the tenant.
3. Again try updating the description of the tenant with empty string - operation fails even though esx console shows message "modify succeeded"

---

Steps and their output are as follows:

1. Create a tenant - tenant1.

[root@sc-rdops-vm02-dhcp-34-69:~] /usr/lib/vmware/vmdkops/bin/vmdkops_admin.py vm-group create --name=tenant1
vm-group create succeeded
[root@sc-rdops-vm02-dhcp-34-69:~] /usr/lib/vmware/vmdkops/bin/vmdkops_admin.py vm-group ls
Uuid                                  Name      Description  Default_datastore  VM_list
------------------------------------  --------  -----------  -----------------  -------
11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111  _DEFAULT  ok
4938212a-d109-4e73-af66-943ee548c481  tenant1

[root@sc-rdops-vm02-dhcp-34-69:~]

2. Update the description of tenant1

[root@sc-rdops-vm02-dhcp-34-69:~] /usr/lib/vmware/vmdkops/bin/vmdkops_admin.py vm-group update --name=tenant1 --description="Hello"
vm-group modify succeeded

Uuid                                  Name      Description  Default_datastore  VM_list

[root@sc-rdops-vm02-dhcp-34-69:~]

3. Again try updating the description of the tenant with empty string - ""

[root@sc-rdops-vm02-dhcp-34-69:~] /usr/lib/vmware/vmdkops/bin/vmdkops_admin.py vm-group update --name=tenant1 --description=""
vm-group modify succeeded

@ashahi1 Can you confirm changing description to non-empty string works? Assuming it works, I would defer this to next release.

[ashahi1]

@pdhamdhere Yes, changing description to non-empty string works.

Nothing else to be done here since changing tenant description works as long as the user provides a non-empty description.
