Hi everyone!
During the development of PPC64 support in the engine, we faced some
UX issues regarding the default Cluster (that Cluster with empty
processor name).
Currently, oVirt engine allows the default Cluster to contain empty
processor name, and the administrator can add VMs and/or Templates to
it. The processor 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
"architecture" 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 the 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
based on the OS of the first assigned VM, and the processor name
could be defined the same way as currently ... editing the Cluster or
assigning a compatible 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, and it may
get ambiguous since the Cluster architecture is still undefined at
that point (before the first VM get already created).
Thanks!
Regards.

To add VMs you anyway need a running host in the cluster which means the
cpu name and the architecture would be the host's.
So we can keep the cluster attributes - "cpu name" and "arch"
consistent
and allow them to be empty on creation.
