Re: edit storage connections

Hi, I started the page for the feature I mentioned to you last week. It's still not complete so I didn't distribute it yet, but I hope you can understand the concept - there's a REST part in the wiki too. If you have any comments/suggestions/improvements especially (but not only) on REST, I'd love to hear it. Thanks http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Edit_Connection_Properties REST In order to allow editing connections, a new root resource will be introduced that will allow add/edit/delete/get of connections to storage. TODO: model the new connection entity. Should represent several storage types. New connection (POST) It will be possible to create a new connection without adding a storage domain along with it, and later on create a storage domain and relate it to existing connection by providing the connection id.

Delete connection Deletion of connection will be possible only if no storage domain is connected to it (orphan connection). Update existing connection (PUT) It will be possible to update connection details when storage domain connected to it is in maintenance state. Most of connection fields can be updated (such as path/iqn/address/port/user/password) - each storage type has its relevant set of fields, id of connection will be immutable. In addition, for each storage domain it should be possible to view (GET) its storage connections by approaching it via a specific subresource: /api/storagedomains/<storageDomainId>/connections
