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 On 08/03/2015 12:15 PM, Walter Niklaus wrote:

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.
