Hi,
I faced with issue, can’t add showing the column “Description”
In 5.6 and older version it did work.
My step:
to patch files: onevm_helper.rb, onevm.yaml

It’s seems up to version 5.6, the “onevm list” command gives info the description which containing into the USER TEMPLATE in XML code.

 <USER_TEMPLATE>
    <DESCRIPTION><![CDATA[some text about VM]]></DESCRIPTION>
    *****
  </USER_TEMPLATE>

Beginning the version of 5.8 the USER TEMPLATE I can get only via command "onevm show "

In OpenNebula 5.8.0 some of the VM attributes were removed from the VM_POOL in order to decrease its size and improve the performance on large deployments. If you need those attributes you can use the --extended option for getting all the VMs attributes.

If you need to modify the current behavior of onevm list command you can modify it and force it to call one.vmpool.infoextended instead of one.vmpool.info
