To me this looks more like a bug in the engine, not in VDSM.

The exception in the VDSM log is OK and it is not fatal. It is actually
to be expected for block devices. VDSM is trying to find out the size of
the disk, but the way it does that is tailored for volumes in storage
pool. But the block device is not a volume in a storage pool and that is
why libvirt complains. We can potentially skip the check for block
devices to avoid error in the log, or provide some other logic of
getting the size.


But the real problem is this error in engine.log:

> 2016-09-29 14:13:48,637 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.GetVmsFromExternalProviderQuery] (default task-30) [] Exception: org.ovirt.engine.core.common.errors.EngineException: EngineException: java.lang.NumberFormatException: null (Failed with error ENGINE and code 5001)

We don't send the size (or rather send null value) for the disk and
engine does not like that. I assume engine does not really consider all
the optional VM properties as optional.
