Hi everyone!
During the development of PPC64 support in the engine, we faced some UX iss=
ues regarding the default Cluster (that Cluster with empty processor name).
Currently, oVirt engine allows the default Cluster to contain empty process=
or name, and the administrator can add VMs and/or Templates to it. The proc=
essor name can be assigned later, editing the cluster or assigning a valid =
host to it.
During the implementation of PPC64 support on the engine, the field "archit=
ecture" was added to Clusters, VMs and Templates entities.
So we have the following questions regarding how the UI should behave:
- Shall we keep allowing the administrator to assign VMs and Templates to t=
he Cluster with no processor name or assigned architecture ?
-> If we have an "yes" for the question above:
-- We will have to assign the architecture to the Cluster base=
d on the OS of the first assigned VM, and the processor name could be defi=
ned the same way as currently ... editing the Cluster or assigning a compat=
ible Host to it.
-- The VM creation popup will have to be able =
to indicate the architecture of each OS ... some OSes have the same name, a=
nd it may get ambiguous since the Cluster architecture is still undefined a=
t that point (before the first VM get already created).
Thanks!
Regards.
