Subject: Re: [Engine-devel] RFE: Netwrok Main Tab
Trying to sum up some of the suggestions ('coincidently' dropping
those which I think a bit too much for first implementation :)) and
add some suggestions of my own
1. On the hosts subtab:
1.1 Have a radio button that will show either
1.1.1 All the hosts that this network is attached to
1.1.2 All the hosts where this network attached to the cluster
but not to the host (Very important for non-required where
the host status does not indicate something is missing)
1.2 Have a remove button for 1.1.1, ManageNetworks button for
1.1.2. Simple add will not do since you don't know where to add.
2. On the vms subtab
2.1 Have a radio button that will show either
2.1.1 All the vms that this network is attached to
2.1.2 All the vms where this network is not attached to
2.2 Have a 'remove' button for 2.1.1, Have 'add' button for 2.1.2
2.3 Allow multiple selection for both actions of 2.2
2.4 Add remove from all button.
2.5 I would not bother to show all the nics attached to the VM
from the same network, it's too rare. Just make sure there is no
exception if this does exist. So the columns should have 'nic' as
the first and there should be only one VM per line. If there are
more then one nic per VM then just indicate 'multiple'
3. Templates subtab - same as VM, drop the expansion of the NICs
list.
4. Clusters subtab
Allow assign to multiple clusters - same as the edit in the data
center tab (Just use the same dialogue)
5. Main: You have enough space then why not add the MTU column?
6. Queries for the sub tabs: For each needs the reverse query as well
(Probably more important when adding new network)
Oops, I think I mostly added and dropped (almost) nothing :)
Regards,
Simon
