Re: [Users] Best way to request a new feature?
Thanks.
I decided the first issue is really a bug. There should really be a
different VM indication for:
- Powered down, vs
- System not ready to start up VMs
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1062745
I realize this is one of those gray areas of "This behavior is by
design" while the severity of this makes it more like a flaw than a
missing feature I think. You can watch the VM tab forever during oVirt
host startup and never know when the VMs are actually ready to start up.
I opened an RFE for auto-starting VMs once oVirt becomes ready, and
auto-opening consoles for VMs at startup:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1062740
In theory this could be separated into two RFEs.
Thanks,
Bob

best way is opening a BZ RFE, then promoting it via this mailing list
for extra attention (well, to the lifespan of emails. worth re-trying
on next version feature polling as well...)
