Hi Walter,
We've had this discussion with the community a few months ago in
the thread
"[RFC] Moving some features of Host tab to Ginger"
And we agreed to start it by moving only Software Update,
Repositories and
Debug Reports from Kimchi to Ginger.
The Basic Information and System Statistics can't be taken away
from Kimchi because there
are relevant information for the creation of VMs there, such as
Memory Available. But I agree
that these information fits nicely in Ginger too.
One alternative (just came in my head now) is to move these
"neutral" functions
to a "Basic System Info" in WoK. That way both Kimchi and Ginger
users can access
the information.
Thanks,
Daniel

After separating out Kimchi as an indvidual plugin from the
base
framework it would be great to have a clean separation between
Host- and
Virtualization Management functions. I'm planning to work on
this topic
in the next few weeks and have prepared a proposal of the
functionsplit.
Plugin functionality:
- Ginger:
- Basic Information
- System Statistics
- Network (Host NICs)
- Storage/SAN (Host Storage)
- User Management
- Configuration Backup
- Software Updates
- Repositories
- Debug Reports
- PPC related functions: Firmware Update &
Power Management
- Kimchi:
- Templates
- Guests
- Networks (virtual)
- Storage (Pools for VMs)
Since there are plans to restructure the UI for one of the
next
releases, I'm proposing to do only some minimal investments in
reflecting this new finctionsplit. Therefore I'm proposing to
make the
Host tab as the one and only Tab for Ginger and move
everything from the
Administration Tab into the Host Tab. This would be just an
intermediate solution till we implement the new UI design.
Please see
the attached PDF.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.
Walter.
