Hi Samuel,

We don't have multiple selection implemented in Kimchi yet.
There are some discussions about that, but, today, each resource has its own "Actions" drop down.

Thinking about that, I'd suggest to follow this. In the storage volume list view, the "Actions" menu would be displayed in each line (similar to what we have in Guest, Templates, Storage pools and Network). And in the galley view, we should follow the same we have for Guests and Templates.

I understand the multiple selection is a requested feature, but we need first discuss on how to implement it and follow the same guideline across the whole application.

Hi team,

 

In the final design spec for Storage Management we have two view modes for disks like we have in Guests and Templates. It also features a filter input and sort button, as well a new drop-down button for Volume management but there isn’t any UI feedback for Volume selection. In the other hand, the old mockups for this screen features a checkbox and a green outline when the user selects the volume in gallery view mode. Here are my proposals:

 

Keep the checkbox in the list/table view and hide it with Gallery view;

Green outline like the other style used when selecting a Template in the modal window for Gallery view;

Disable Action dropdown-button when nothing is selected.

 

Questions:

What are the formats to convert the files to?


There is no option/feature to convert the storage volume to a new format. So you can ignore the mockup which has it as a valid action.

The actions allowed in a storage volume is: delete, clone, resize and wipe. Some of those actions may be not allowed depending on storage pool type.

The 'Add' storage volume action is displayed in the storage pool level. Would be good to move it to the storage volume level to follow the same approach for the other resources? Any suggestion?

Regarding volume management, where is the full spec for volume actions such as create, delete, clone, resize and wipe? Should we append these actions to the Activate/Deactivate and Undefine dropdown?


Activate/Deactivate and Undefine options are storage *pool* actions. And they are not related to storage *volume*

So we will need a new Actions menu specific for storage volume actions.

 

Thanks,

Samuel
