Re: [Kimchi-devel] [RFC] UI: Support Selecting SCSI Volume when Creating a VM
In total, this idea sounds good to me. I have a few comments below.

Hi all,
Royce talked this topic with me today that the UI part is missing for
SCSI volume selecting when creating a VM. In the current design, VM is
created through a template and no extra options are available at VM
creation: template defines which pool and disk size, and Kimchi will
create a volume in the pool with specified disk size for the VM.
Though SCSI volumes are read-only and we can't create anything in SCSI
pool, we need allow user to select a volume in SCSI pool. So my
initial suggestion to the VM creation UI looks like:
/// --- Create VM Window --- ///
1. Virtual Machine Name
The name used to identify the virtual machine. If omitted, a name will
be chosen based on the template used.
[ Text box here to enter VM name ]
2. Template
Please choose a template.
[ Templates list here to be selected ]
3. Volumes (this part will be only available when SCSI pool is
selected in Step 2)
[ Volumes list in SCSI pool to be selected ]
Kimchi don't get a way to allocate volumes from a storage pools. So
where are these volumes coming from? Further, the existing volumes
should be checked if there is any data on them and the user can chose a
empty volume for his VM.
/// Create ///
Does this make sense? If so, I'll send out patches for it.
