Hi,

 

I’m bit confused here. This is the current workflow:

 

·         1 – CD-ROM:

·         2 – File Path

·         1 – Disk:

·         2 – Storage Pool (List in Select element / Combobox)

·         3 – Storage Volume (List in Select element / Combobox of available volumes)

 

Then the new design is:

 

·         1 – CD-ROM:

·         2 – File Path

·         1 – Disk:

·         2 – Radio button: Create a new disk image

·         2 – Radio button: Select existing disk image

·   3 – Radio Button – Existing Storage Pool (List in Select element / Combobox)

1.       4 - Storage Volume (List in Select element / Combobox of available volumes)

·   3 – Radio Button – New Volume

1.       4 – New Volume

 

Is that right?

Almost there:

We are proposing the following:

3. New volume
    3.1 Select pool to create the new volume
    3.2 Specify volume capacity

In both case, new disk or existing disk, the user must select the storage pool.
For a new disk, we **don't list** iSCSI and SCSI pools (as they are read-only). But from an existing disk, we can list all pools.

Hi Aline,

I chatted w/Paulo about the UI portion of this.  He stated that the user has the option to select to add a new volume (in which the the UI must execute two requests: one to create a volume, and other to attach the new volume to the guest being edited).  So in this screen (I know it's the old UI but this shows better than current new UI :)):



What do you think of 3.  being radio buttons?  -

I think 2 should be that radio buttons.

So:

1. Device type
    <disk>

2. ( ) Create a new disk image

    ( ) Select existing disk image

3. Storage pool
    <pools>

4. Capacity or Volume (depends on selection on 2.)

Below is how virt-manage does it.

    <New Volume> -
        Volume: Storage volume name of 'new_vol' --- we prob do not need to show this in the UI, right?
        Capacity:  in bytes
        Format:  qcow2 -- is this the only option we want to provide?
        <Create Button>

    <Existing Volume> - which consists of current combobox above

Also, if user selects to do the new volume, then created it, but decided that they didn't want to attach it, is that ok?  Not sure of the different scenarios we have
or if I'm totally missing the intent here.

Let me know if you had envisioned something else for this UI.

Thanks
