Symptoms

The "vsx_util vsls" command on R80 Security Management Server / Domain Management Server fails with:
Failed to redistribute the virtual systems. Can't save database. Cpmi_cmd_status_code -2147467259 can be seen in the vsx_util logfile.

The vsx_util_<YYYYMMDD_hh_mm>.log file shows:

... ...
MyCommandCB started
***Reply is : (
	:vsx_status (65536)
	:vsx_stat_str ("Failed to redistribute the virtual systems. Can't save database.")
	:cpmi_cmd_status_text ("Failed to redistribute the virtual systems. Can't save database.")

Debug of CPM during the issue shows the following in the cpm.elg:
Date Time INFO coresvc.internal.WorkSessionMgmtSvcImpl [...]: Session description enforcement is relevant for domain: XXX Date Time WARN coresvc.internal.WorkSessionMgmtSvcImpl [...]: Work session must contain a name and description before publishing Date Time ERROR coresvc.internal.WorkSessionMgmtSvcImpl [...]: Enforcement of session description failed

Cause

"All sessions must have a name and description" option is enabled in R80 SmartConsole (click on "MANAGE & SETTINGS" app - expand "Sessions" - click on "Advanced" - refer to "Enforce session details").

As a result, the "vsx_util" utility fails because it performs a "Publish" operation to a default session without any description.
