Hi,
Isnt someone already working on removing the UI distinction between server and desktop? Indeed :)
However the desktop/server distinction could be useful for scheduling information, I hope that will remain.
There will be a combo box: "optimized for server/desktop". That one will set up the dialog like you would open the new server/desktop today. But you will be able to change them - it will be just some sugar. But there is no reason why would we enforce the disabling the e.g. soundcard for server. By default we will, but you can enable it if you want.
Ok, so in engine we will still have the VmType in vmStatic?
I think it would make sense to use it in scheduling / load balancing - if a VM is a desktop and no user is connected to the console, then the VM is not in use, therefore it is a good candidate for saving power (hibernate, migrate, shutdown, or any other bad things that can happen to a VM) - if a VM is a server, usually no user connected, but it may still be used through its network. Therefore it may not be a good candidate to migrate.
is this indeed a valid assumption ("if VM is a server..." ) that a user will less connect to it?
IMHO if we want some new behavior/policy there should be a new corresponding property, not desktop/server. That can be quite misleading and I would rather see it go away. Other than use it as a set of default values
Sure, let's call it something else, but this is a typical behavior expected from the desktop/server property. So what we are going to do is that remove the property and throw away all the related data, while when (if ever) we get the new property (behaveAsDesktop, notUsedWhenNotConnected, whatever we call it) the users of the system will set this property for the VM's that used to be desktops. We could save that work for the users. Also, it may appear to be an edge-case, but for a good scheduling in my opinion this is important.
